What is Gestalt: Steam & Cinder?
You play as mercenary Aletheia in a single-player, side-scrolling action RPG set in the Steam City of Canaan, where a job gone wrong leads her to investigate a threat to the city. Jump and dash through its areas, fight clockwork golems and other enemies with a sword and gun, and spend experience points on skills and scrap on accessories.
