Netflix Games has enriched its gaming library with a thrilling new addition, launching the highly anticipated, free-to-play game - Steel Paws, developed in collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki. Available to all Netflix subscribers on iOS and Android, this platforming brawler invites you to embark on an exhilarating journey. Step into the role of a cybernetic explorer tasked with conquering a mysterious tower, aided by your robotic companions. Customize and upgrade your mechanical allies, harnessing their unique abilities to combat waves of hostile robots that obstruct your path to the summit.
Yu Suzuki, renowned for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, brings his signature touch to Steel Paws. The game showcases a focus on intense brawling, special moves, and intricate subsystems, echoing Suzuki's style as seen in the trailer. While Suzuki's influence is evident, the game isn't without its imperfections. Moments of unexpressive character animations and slightly stiff movements occasionally disrupt the otherwise engaging gameplay.
Despite these minor flaws, there's a strong hope that Steel Paws will succeed. A successful full-fledged 3D brawler on Netflix could signal a shift away from the platform being seen merely as a host for spin-offs and tie-ins to popular shows. It's an exciting prospect for Netflix to potentially lead with a strong, original gaming title.
