Netflix and SEGA Veteran Yu Suzuki Drops a New Game Steel Paws on Android

Dive into the thrilling world of Steel Paws, an action-packed RPG exclusive to Netflix subscribers on Android. Crafted by the legendary Yu Suzuki, the mastermind behind SEGA's Virtua Fighter and Shenmue, this game throws you into an epic battle up a colossal tower with an arsenal of combat-ready robot cats.

What’s the Story?

In Steel Paws, you step into the boots of a purple-haired warrior encased in a mechanical suit, tasked with combating robotic adversaries. Accompanying you are your trusty Buddy Robots—loyal, feline-inspired machines that double as your most potent weapons. Unleash devastating team attacks, propelling these robotic cats towards enemies like high-tech, furry projectiles.

The adventure begins with an ancient tower suddenly erupting from the earth, sending shockwaves across the world. Intrigued by a mysterious, rune-covered floating stone, your hero ventures inside. However, this decision leads to the immediate capture of your robotic cat companions. A sinister, disembodied voice challenges you: to reclaim your friends, you must ascend the tower, floor by floor, battling mechanical foes and unraveling the tower's enigmatic secrets.

Steel Paws Is a Sci-Fi Fantasy

The heart of Steel Paws lies in its fluid and engaging combo system, rewarding you for perfectly timed attacks and clever use of special moves. Each strike from your robotic cat companions is punctuated by a resounding meow, adding a whimsical touch to the intense battles.

The game offers strategic depth with mid-stage checkpoints, so if you fall in battle, you won't need to restart from the very beginning. You can also adjust the difficulty to suit your playstyle. Adding to the replay value, Steel Paws incorporates roguelike elements; each replay of a stage brings new enemy placements, resource distributions, and map configurations. The environments are dynamic, featuring unique challenges like shifting sands or slippery ice across different levels.

At its core, Steel Paws is all about fast-paced melee combat, offering an adrenaline-pumping experience. If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can easily download and enjoy this sci-fi fantasy on the Google Play Store.
