Dirk Valentine and the Fortress of Steam was a Flash-based game designed by Nitrome Limited and released on March 27, 2008. It is designed much like many other Nitrome games, and has 24 levels total. At the beginning of the game, a prologue appears, telling the player what the reasoning is behind the late 19th century-styled machines. It reads: ''The year is 1897. For five long years Europe has been ravaged by Baron Battenberg's steam-powered war machines. Led by Great Britain, a handful of defiant countries remain free of the Baron's tyrannical rule. But time is running out for them as his forces grow stronger every day. As dawn breaks high above the Atlantic a tiny airship arrives at its secret destination. Onboard, Britain's greatest explorer, spy, and master of esoteric fighting arts readies to strike at the heart of the Baron's empire!'' For those of you who have not beaten Dirk Valentine 1, there is a sequel February, 2008 by the name of Dirk Valentine and the Martian Underworld! Nitrome has anticipated this twice.
