Yu Suzuki's New Game 'Steel Paws' Launches on Android

Steel Paws is an exciting new action RPG available exclusively on Android for Netflix subscribers. Developed by the legendary Yu Suzuki, known for his work on Virtua Fighter and Shenmue, this game introduces players to a thrilling world where they can punch their way up a giant tower alongside an army of battle-ready robot cats.

What’s the Story?

In Steel Paws, you step into the shoes of a purple-haired warrior clad in a mechanical suit, tasked with fighting robotic enemies. Accompanied by loyal, cat-like Buddy Robots, these mechanical companions serve as your fiercest weapons, capable of executing team attacks that launch them at enemies like furry missiles.

The game's narrative begins with an ancient tower erupting from the earth, sending shockwaves across the world. Drawn to a mysterious floating stone adorned with cryptic markings, the hero enters the tower only to have her robotic feline crew captured. A sinister, unseen voice challenges her to fight her way to the top of the tower to rescue her friends, setting the stage for a floor-by-floor battle against mechanical adversaries and the uncovering of the tower's hidden mysteries.

Steel Paws Is a Sci-Fi Fantasy

The game features a dynamic combo system that encourages fluid and engaging combat, rewarding players for well-timed strikes and strategic use of special moves. Each attack from your robotic cat companions is punctuated by a resounding meow, adding a playful element to the intense battles.

To ensure players can enjoy the game without undue frustration, Steel Paws includes checkpoints midway through each stage, allowing you to resume from these points if you're defeated. The game also offers adjustable difficulty settings to suit your skill level.

Incorporating roguelike elements, Steel Paws ensures that each replay of a stage offers a fresh experience, with changes in enemy placement, resources, and map layouts. Different levels introduce unique environmental hazards, such as shifting sands or slippery ice, adding to the challenge and variety.

At its heart, Steel Paws is centered around fast-paced melee combat, and it's available for play on the Google Play Store with a Netflix subscription.
