Meet His Team Of Legendary Agents! Henry Fleming Previously operating under the codename "The Youth," this Civil War vet is no longer at cross-purposes with his fear and instincts. Now, this super patriot just shoulders his rifle and blasts away at the enemies of freedom. Primary Weapon: Eagle Rifle John Henry Tragically, this steel-driving railroad worker has become one with the very machines that he once bested with muscle and bone. He's currently driving shrapnel into alien exoskeltons for Honest Abe. Primary Weapon: Bear Grenade Lion Be advised: this enormous, talking lion isn't half the coward he's reported to be. Do cowards launch themselves like missiles at terrifying aliens? Research indicates otherwise. Primary Weapon: Lion Launcher QueeQueg The subject's background in the South Pacific is somewhat mysterious, but his career in the whaling industry attracted our interest - in particular, his deadly accuracy with harpoons and mechanical seafowl. Primary Weapon: Penguin Lobber Randolph Carter The standard psychological assessment was waived to get this agent into the field quickly, as his understanding of alien behavior has proven uncanny. His research at Miskatonic University is under investigation. Primary Weapon: Unspeakable Lure ScareCrow Science does not yet have an adequate explanation for locomotion and sentience in an agriculural pest-control effigy, but early interest in dissection was trumped by the immediate need for combat assistance. Primary Weapon: Pumpkin Stunner The Fox A skilled sniper who carries the baggage of certain controversial political causes in her past. Field commanders have praised her precision and bravery on the battlefield, but have yet to grasp her motivations. Primary Weapon: Fox Rifle Tiger Lily The official story about this tribal princess is that she was rescued by a classified - and apparently ageless - flying youth. She has medical training and is a skilled corpsperson. Primary Weapon: Medi-Mortar Tom Sawyer This juvenile subject was reprogrammed and recruited for combat after several run-ins with the Missouri authorities. His improvisational skills have been put to good use as an agent. Primary Weapon: Punch Gun Features Field Manual The aliens that you face are legion, remorseless, and terrifying. You'll need more than a fancy boiler and steam weapons to accomplish your goals. You'll need a solid plan and a thoughtful, tactical mind. There's No "I" in S.T.E.A.M. Some missions will throw you together with other agents, but once you build a deep enough roster, you'll be able to pick your own team. Examine each agent's unique skills and strengths, then create groups that suit your mission objectives. Picking the Right Gear Each agent has a primary weapon that he or she is especially adept at using and a secondary weapon that can be selected. Pick a secondary weapon and boiler to balance your agent's battlefield versatility. Battlefield Checkpoints Battles offer checkpoints where you can save your progress. You can also replenish steam reserves, restore health for an agent or the team, or even revive a fallen team member - but those services will cost you medals. Explore the Terrain For each battle, agents will start at set locations. As you move around the environment, look for objects that hide you from alien sight lines and for rewards like medals and gears. Scout for routes that will keep your team safe and meet your mission objectives. The best path may not be the most obvious path. Enemy Adaptations These otherworldly creatures come in many different forms, and deliver a great variety of attacks. They also display a wide range of mobility and toughness. Get to know their patterns, and adjust your tactics accordingly.
