Cho Dengeki Stryker All Ages Version now available on Steam

This year has proven to be a great one for visual novel fans - aside from the announcement of some major licenses and projects, it's also a year which has seen digital PC gaming platform Steam open up and start publishing visual novels on its store (albeit still with a strict policy on not allowing adult content of a sexual nature).

The latest addition to Steam along these lines is the all ages version of one of MangaGamer's titles from developer OVERDRIVE, Cho Dengeki Stryker - what's more, it's currently available complete with a 45% discount, at a price of just £14.84 rather than its usual £26.99. Here's the synopsis if you're curious:

Yuuki Yamato has modeled his young life after the super heroes he loves. When his best friend Haruna is teased by bullies, he always tries to defend her -- but his life is not a comic book, and things never work out as planned. One day, after yet another failure, Haruna tells Yamato that she is moving away. She asks him to come and see her off, but Yamato - his pride still wounded - cannot find the courage to face her. When Yamato is feeling his lowest, an old man appears before him. He is known as the Memory Collector, and he will grant one wish in exchange for a memory. Yamato makes his wish: to become Dengeki Stryker, his favorite comic book hero.

Years later, an army of cyborgs from the Balbora Empire appear in the city where Haruna now lives. With the police and the army powerless against the Empire's mechanical might, it falls to a single hero to stop them - a hero who looks remarkably like Dengeki Stryker!

You can find the game available for purchase via Steam.
