Steel Sword Story is yet another example of how a game's flaws and issues can hold it back and forbid it to become what it could have been. Despite being really easy, the game is still a decent 2D platformer game. But the performance issues are so severe that progression has become a real hassle, and the gameplay is so short and simple that there's almost no reason to go back to it again
