Code Name S.T.E.A.M. is a turn-based strategy shooter developed by Nintendo SPD Production Group No. 2 and released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. Set in a steampunk-inspired world under threat from an alien invasion, players command an elite squad of soldiers known as S.T.E.A.M., each equipped with steam-powered backpacks that fuel both movement and combat. The core mechanic revolves around managing a limited steam resource each turn — spending it to reposition troops across the battlefield or discharge a variety of distinct weapons. Before each mission, players select their squad composition and configure their loadouts, adding a layer of preparation strategy on top of the tactical decision-making during combat. The game blends third-person action presentation with traditional turn-based structure, offering a hybrid style that distinguishes it from conventional strategy titles on the platform.
