About this game

Steel Rats Original Soundtrack is the complete score from Tate Multimedia’s motorcycle action game, pulled out and packaged as its own listening experience. It’s not a game you boot up and play, it’s the music that scored one, eighteen tracks composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Tomasz Pauszek that were built to sit under high speed chases, robot smashing, and the general chaos of riding a bike through a city that’s falling apart. If you played Steel Rats and remember the energy of it, this is the part of that memory you can actually take with you.

How it plays

There’s no gameplay here in the traditional sense, this is a straight audio release you drop into a media player or your library of choice and let run. What matters is how the music maps to the game it came from. Steel Rats was built around motorcycle stunts and combat, so the score leans into that momentum, driving rhythms for the racing sections, tension and weight for the fights against the game’s robotic enemies, and quieter, more atmospheric cues for the moments in between. The track titles alone read like a tour through the game’s world, from Outskirts and Lakeport to Hanging Gardens and Old Town Factories, with a dedicated theme for the character Toshi closing things out. If you want a sense of Reikowski’s range outside horror-leaning work like Observer and Kholat, this is a good reminder that he can do propulsive and physical just as well as unsettling.

Who it’s for

This is squarely for people who already have some connection to Steel Rats, either they played it and want the music on its own, or they’re curious about the game and want to hear what it sounds like before committing. It’s also a reasonable pickup for anyone who collects game soundtracks generally and likes composers who work across genres, since Reikowski’s name carries some weight if you’ve followed his other scores. If you’ve never heard of Steel Rats and have no interest in motorcycle action games, there’s not much reason to seek this out in isolation, it’s a companion piece, not a standalone attraction.

Is it worth it?

Soundtrack add-ons like this live or die on how much you actually go back and listen to them, and that depends entirely on whether the game left an impression on you. For fans of Steel Rats, having the score as its own file to keep is a nice bit of permanence for a game that’s easy to lose track of once you’ve finished it. It’s the kind of purchase that makes the most sense bundled with the base game or picked up during a sale rather than sought out at full price on its own, since the value here is sentimental and archival more than it is a must-have listening experience for people outside the fandom. If you’re already a fan, it’s a low-risk way to keep a piece of the game around.
