SteamGear Mash (スチームギア★マッシュ) is an isometric shooting and platforming game released exclusively for the Sega Saturn in Japan (though a European version was planned[4] and set to be published by Ocean Software[5]).
Graphics are a mix of prerendered sprites and typical pixel artwork.

Gameplay
The games has mutliple stages, most of these are laid out in a maze-like fashion. Special weapons are required to open certain doors. The concept is similar to Nintendo's Metroid series, while the isometric view and the ability to spin around the own axis by 360° was seen in Skeleton Krew first.
A boss awaits at the end of each stage. The current status can be saved after clearing a stage or using save points.
