Netflix Games has just enriched its gaming library with a thrilling new addition, Steel Paws, available now for iOS and Android users with a Netflix subscription. This highly anticipated release, developed in collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki, known for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, invites players to dive into an action-packed platforming brawler.
In Steel Paws, you take on the role of a cybernetic explorer tasked with ascending a mysterious tower. With the help of your robotic companions, you'll navigate through challenges and confront hordes of menacing mechanical enemies. Customize your allies, unlock a variety of special moves, and harness their unique abilities to reach the top.
Yu Suzuki's influence is evident in the game's focus on brawling mechanics and intricate sub-systems, as showcased in the trailer. While the gameplay looks promising, some elements, such as the main character's lack of expressiveness and slightly stiff animations, give me pause. Nonetheless, I'm hopeful that Steel Paws will deliver a compelling experience.
A successful launch of a full-fledged 3D brawler like Steel Paws could be a significant win for Netflix Games, potentially elevating the platform beyond just hosting tie-ins to popular shows.
