Steelrising is a 2022 role-playing action game developed by Spiders and published by Nacon. Set during an alternate history of the French Revolution, Paris lies in ruins, ravaged by a mechanical army under the command of King Louis XVI. This adrenaline-pumping soulslike title plunges players into a world of intrigue, honor, and survival, with a gripping plot and challenging gameplay to uncover.
Story
Welcome to an alternate Paris, 1789, where the French Revolution never came to pass. Instead, the city has been overrun by an army of deadly automatons, orchestrated by a maddened Louis XVI. The once-glorious city is crumbling into chaos, and only one hope remains: Aegis, a highly advanced automaton created to serve Queen Marie Antoinette. As Aegis, you are tasked with turning the tide of war, challenging the king’s forces, and altering the course of history.
Gameplay
Steelrising offers fast-paced, combat-focused gameplay with an emphasis on exploration. You will control Aegis, Marie Antoinette’s robotic bodyguard, as you navigate the streets of a semi-open Paris. Choose from multiple character profiles, including dancer, soldier, bodyguard, or alchemist, each offering unique abilities and items. These profiles affect your playstyle, allowing you to customize your approach to combat, while cosmetic options let you personalize Aegis’ appearance.
- Dynamic combat: As in other soulslike games, Steelrising’s combat is challenging and skill-based. You’ll need to master Aegis’ diverse moves and weapons, which can be tailored to your preferences based on your chosen class.
- Assist Mode: Adjust the difficulty level to your liking, making the game more accessible while preserving its intense combat experience.
- Anima: Defeated enemies drop anima, a valuable essence used to enhance Aegis’ stats and purchase items. Spend anima wisely at designated points, which also serve as safe havens to recover strength.
- Exploration: Navigate Paris using only a compass—there’s no map—encouraging careful exploration to uncover hidden treasures and secrets in the city’s beautifully crafted but perilous streets.
