Netflix Games has just enriched its library with a thrilling new addition, Steel Paws, a collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki, available now for iOS and Android users. As a full-fledged, free-to-play game for Netflix subscribers, Steel Paws invites you to embark on an exhilarating journey as a cybernetic explorer, ascending a mysterious tower with the help of your robotic companions.
In Steel Paws, you'll not only navigate through challenging levels but also customize and upgrade your mechanical allies, utilizing their unique abilities to combat the hordes of malevolent robots that guard the tower. The gameplay promises a blend of platforming and brawling, with a variety of special moves at your disposal to tackle your mechanical adversaries.
Yu Suzuki, famed for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, brings his signature touch to Steel Paws. The game reflects his influence through its emphasis on intricate combat systems and special moves, visible in the game's trailers. However, while Suzuki's involvement adds a layer of excitement, the game isn't without its flaws. Some aspects, like the main character's lack of expressiveness and occasionally stiff animations, might give players pause.
Despite these minor critiques, there's a strong hope that Steel Paws will prove to be a standout title for Netflix Games. A successful 3D brawler like this could elevate the platform beyond mere tie-ins to popular shows, showcasing Netflix's potential as a serious contender in the mobile gaming space.
