A Beta Test for Fight of Steel, a Robot Fighting Game, is Open For Registration
Digital Crafter announced today that their new fighting game, Fight of Steel, will hold a limited test play starting from April 27th. The game is said to be including elements of role-playing and adventure. And it is now open for application. They released the latest development progress video for the community.
The game is still in the process of development. The developers improved game graphics and sound effects between the playtest version and the video.
Fight of Steel is a fighting game set in a futuristic mechanical style; it is the sequel to the Digital Crafter fighting games after two years. The game is with a very different style from the previous game, Fight of Animals. But the Digital Crafter team insists on making fighting games more accessible for players to enjoy the charm of fighting games. They simplified the input for moves. While the input commands are simplified, the EX move and the OVERDRIVE (overload) system allow veterans of fighting games to play with a more advanced game experience.
The first easter egg released by the official team is the heroine of the story mode - Artemis. The first time a fighting game and VTuber collaborate. From the in-game artwork shared here, you can see Artemis wearing a combat suit. What kind of story and interaction will be between her and the protagonist?
Does the mysterious girl who suddenly appears and is seriously injured relate to the protagonist's memory?
This beta test provides not only the general Arcade Mode but also other Modes of the game. The dev team included the first three chapters of the Story Mode, Challenge Mode, and Online Matches in the test version. Dozens of switchable moves and more than ten preset STEEL units so that players can experience other different aspects of the game other than fighting.
As the story mode progresses, you will encounter a variety of opponents
You can unlock different moves and parts in the shop
In Challenge Mode, players can build an optimized fighter according to the opponents encountered with the Property System design.
Online matches are available during the beta test. Players can fight with pro players from all over the world.
Digital Crafter states that the beta test of Fight of Steel will last for seven days, from April 27th to May 4th. Players who applied for the playtest will receive a Steam key for the playtest on opening day. But they will remove the playtest data after the internal test ends. Along with this event, Digital Crafter will also release a lot of new information about the game in a few days. Players could get those updates by following their Facebook page or Steam game page.

Behold! Fight of Steel x Fight of Animals Crossover!!
Fight of Steel is a fighting game with fighters of robots with advanced AI, STEEL (SenTient Engineered Evolving Life-form). Players may switch base fighting style “Stance” and combine with “parts” and “martial art chips” they acquire in the game to assemble fighters with their flavor and style. Characters in Fight of Animals will be in the game as “head parts”! Players who already own the game Fight of Animals will have these parts in their inventory at the start of Fight of Steel.
Simple control but still a game with depth: The control of Fight of Steel is a spiritual successor of Fight of Animals. For players to enjoy the excitement of fighting games, special moves still use input combinations like “Foward + Skill Button”; Supers only require one button to trigger. You don’t need to memorize complicated commands to join the fight anymore. “Direction + Skill Button” for special moves installed
All the above being said, the development team also tried to add more depth to the simple control game; EX moves, enhanced special moves, and a new OVERDRIVE system provide more fun gameplay for players to explore. EX move and OVERDRIVE add depth to the gameplay
In Fight of Steel, there are a few things designed for casual fighting game players aside from the traditional fighting elements. The game included a rich Story Mode with multiple endings, Arcade Mode, and Challenger Mode focused on collecting parts and adjusting build stats. The protagonist will find his memory in the adventure
Collect parts and defeat your enemies in Challenge Mode. Collect fragments of information about “STEEL Verse” along the way.
There are more than 30 sets of STEEL with different styles and 70 moves for players to collect and assemble. Players can use the game modes described above to acquire them.
Fight of Steel is still in development. More information about the game will be available recently. A close beta test is coming soon. If you’re interested in joining the test play, please add the game to your wishlist!
