Netflix Games has just enriched its library with the highly anticipated release of Steel Paws, a new platforming brawler available exclusively for Netflix subscribers. Launched today, this free-to-play game, developed in collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki, promises an engaging experience as you take on the role of a cybernetic explorer. Your mission? Ascend a mysterious tower, aided by your robotic companions, as you battle through waves of menacing mechanical enemies.
Accessible on both iOS and Android through Netflix's gaming platform, Steel Paws offers a unique gameplay experience where you'll not only climb the tower but also customize and upgrade your mechanical allies. Harness their special abilities to navigate the challenges ahead and overcome the robotic foes that stand in your way.
Yu Suzuki, renowned for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, brings his signature touch to Steel Paws. The game's trailer showcases a blend of brawling action, special moves, and intricate sub-systems, reflecting Suzuki's influence. However, while the gameplay looks impressive, there are moments that might give players pause, such as the somewhat unexpressive protagonist and occasionally stiff animations.
Despite these minor critiques, there's a strong hope that Steel Paws will be a success. A win for this full-fledged 3D brawler could signify a positive shift for Netflix Games, moving beyond mere tie-ins to popular shows and establishing itself as a serious contender in the mobile gaming arena.
