Ranking Every Bioware Game From Worst To Best
14. Shattered Steel
Bioware's debut was nothing like the titles that would make the studio famous. A mech sim set in a dystopian future that sees humanity on the brink of extinction, the game was a straight-up point-and-click shooter that was mostly an excuse for players to blast some aliens.
Putting players in control of huge mechs known as 'Planet Runners', the game took place across 20 different missions that were all simple variations on the same basic gameplay loop. Still, the developer's keen sense of world building elevated what could have otherwise been a throwaway shooter into something with at least a bit of imagination.
It's not a game that has been fondly remembered as a lost classic or even a relic that showed the promise of where Bioware was going to go next, but Shattered Steel did give the developers the in they needed to go on to create their own original ideas in the future.
