Everything You Need to Know About Yu Suzuki’s Steel Paws
Pre-register for the legendary creator’s latest fight-focused, action-first RPG.
Do you love fighting games? Do you love cats? Have you ever wondered what would happen if someone were to combine these two passions? You’re not the only one: The upcoming Netflix exclusive Steel Paws complements its lightning-quick, combo-fueled combat with a customizable cast of cute feline robots. Me-yeow!
Of course, coming from revered game creator Yu Suzuki (Shenmue, Virtua Fighter), the mobile title promises much more than just butt-kicking kitties. For all the intel on Steel Paws — which you can pre-register for right now — read on.
What kind of game is Steel Paws?
Steel Paws is an action role-playing game with a strong focus on melee combat. Players suit up as a purple-haired, mechanical-suit clad hero adventuring up a mysterious tower. But the brave protagonist isn’t tackling this daunting task all alone, as she’s accompanied by powerful “Buddy Robots,” catlike machines as loyal as they are lethal.
Alongside your varied, growing roster of adorably vicious allies, you’ll unleash devastating combo moves and supercharged attacks in an effort to turn targets into heaps of twisted, smoking scrap. An engaging skills system also allows your hero and her buddies to continually evolve, adding fresh abilities and powers (paw-ers?) to their arsenals.
What else can you do in Steel Paws?
Steel Paws is more than a button-mashing beat-’em-up. On top of the skill-based progression system, there’s a heavy focus on crafting. You’ll loot parts from fallen foes, allowing you to build and customize your Buddy Robots. The more metallic menaces you leave in your wake, the more opportunities you’ll have to collect and combine pieces to create an endless variety of powerful allies. Here, kitty kitty ….
Steel Paws also incorporates roguelike elements, ensuring enemies, collectibles, resources, map layouts, and more changes with each world-saving mission. The sci-fi/fantasy world is made up of anime-inspired environments populated with a diverse cast of enemy combatants.
Toss in an original tale involving a mysterious tower that appears every 100 years, and Steel Paws looks to engage both the thumbs and mind when it lands later this year.
Steel Paws will be available to play on both Android and iOS.
When does Steel Paws come out, and how can I pre-register for it?
Free to Netflix subscribers, Steel Paws is set to arrive in February, but you can pre-register for it here right now.
