During The Game Awards, amid the flurry of big AAA announcements, you might have caught a glimpse of an eye-catching animated trailer for an upcoming game from the legendary Yu Suzuki. The mastermind behind Shenmue, Yu Suzuki, is bringing us Steel Paws, which is now open for pre-registration and will be exclusively available on Netflix Games!
As expected from the creator known for Virtua Fighter and Shenmue, Steel Paws is an engaging third-person beat 'em up. In this game, you'll climb a mysterious tower that surfaces once every century, battling enemy robots alongside your mechanical animal companions. Uncover the secrets hidden within as you ascend.
As you progress through the tower, you'll navigate through unique environments and have the opportunity to upgrade your mecha-animal Buddies and customize your gear. With each level featuring minor randomization, every battle to the top offers fresh challenges and surprises!
Exclusively yours—It's encouraging to see that, despite recent challenges with the Netflix Games catalog, exciting exclusives like Steel Paws are on the horizon. While Yu Suzuki's past projects, such as Shenmue II, have had mixed reviews, his experience and reputation suggest he could deliver an exceptional game.
I'm eager to see how Steel Paws unfolds, and with Yu Suzuki's name attached, alongside impressive 3D graphics and a world ripe for exploration and combat, this could significantly elevate Netflix Games' profile.
