Steel Paws: A New Adventure Awaits
When folks were watching The Game Awards, in-between the glut of big AAA announcements you may’ve noticed a neat-looking animated trailer for an upcoming release from Yu Suzuki. The mind behind Shenmue’s new title, Steel Paws, is now open for pre-registration as it’s set to arrive exclusively on Netflix Games!
As you might expect from a designer known primarily for his work on Virtua Fighter and the aforementioned Shenmue, Steel Paws is a third-person beat ’em up where you ascend a mysterious tower. Tackle enemy robots with your own mechanical buddies and find out what secrets this tower that appears once every hundred years has to offer.
Steel Paws will see you traversing distinct environments as you ascend the tower, in between getting the chance to upgrade your mecha-animal Buddies or alter your gear. And with minor randomisation on each level, you won’t be sure what to expect in your battle to the top!
Exclusively yours
It’s heartening to see that, despite issues with the Netflix Games catalogue recently, there are still some great exclusives coming to the service. While Yu Suzuki’s previous work may not have always been the best (just look at the mixed reception of Shenmue II) he still has the pedigree and experience to deliver a great release.
I’m certainly interested to see how Steel Paws turns out, and with a big name behind it and some proper wide-scale 3D graphics and a world to explore (and fight in), there’s plenty here that could put Netflix Games on the map for more people.
