We follow The Steam Man‘s 4 initial protagonists through their steam-powered quest to bring some sense of normalcy back to Earth. We discover how a tear in the fabric of space and time created chaos in the story’s present time. In these 5 chapters, we discover how the antagonist came to be what he is and why it’s crucial he be destroyed. But where these invaders came from was a mystery until the history of the story’s antagonist was unveiled. Giant, steam-powered machines were built to battle the invaders who brought their wrath upon civilization. The Steam Man (for short) starts out in the year 1899, four years after all hell broke loose on Earth. Sounds like I have beef right? Well I do and I’ll get to that in a moment, but first…. With that being said, whether you live the lifestyle, are more like me when it comes to the culture or know nothing about it, this review may speak to everyone alike.Īsk yourself why you’re interested in this title and I will probably tell you those reasons are not justified enough for an investment.
I however don’t live the steam punk lifestyle. As in, I dig the fashion, time period and the kooky and clever inventions. The steam punk culture is right up my alley.
