The city burns and bleeds as it suffers the madness of King Louis XVI and his violent legions of automatons. Aegis, a mechanical masterpiece created by the engineer Vaucanson to be the queen's bodyguard, must save the French Revolution in this challenging action-RPG.
Up against the king's mechanical soldiers, deadly accuracy will be needed. String together dodges, parries, jumps and devastating attacks to fight your way through Paris. Every fight will test your nerve and requires excellent discipline, while the huge relentless machine bosses demand patience and skill.
Define your own style and upgrade your abilities as you progress through the game. You can play as a ruthless warrior, a hard-hitting bodyguard, a deadly dancer or a virtuoso of the elemental arts. Take advantage of a wide variety of weapons and skills to approach each fight in your own unique way.
Using carriages, grapples, secret passages, a detailed map, and other methods and tools you find along the way, explore a city experiencing its darkest days. Your grappling hook adds a new dimension to exploration and Paris's verticality. Combined with your dash ability, it will provide access to all the city's secrets across multiple levels you can explore over and over again.
You are one of the main characters of an alternative history where Paris is being choked by a tyrant king. Allies and enemies with unclear motives will cross your path, such as Marie-Antoinette, Lafayette and Robespierre. It's up to you to cut a path through all the plotting and put an end to one man's madness so that the French Revolution succeeds.
Ok, here's the thing: DON'T BUY IT AT FULL PRICE. Wait for a promotion and get it dirt cheap like I did. This is a "baby's first Soulslike": there's a limited variation on enemies and the game is not hard; it's perfect
Albeit, not a perfect game, souls like but forgiving. Great gameplay, stunning visuals, great animations, great story, characters and voice acting. Likely i'll return to it in a few years. Highly recommend it.
TL;DR: A mid-tier Soulslike with an interesting story and beautiful environments, but somewhat lackluster in its core aspects. 6/10 Long version Steelrising is a Soulslike that ticks all the boxes of this kind of game.
Apart from the optimization and bugs it is really a fun souls-like game. I had trouble unlocking all citizen stories for achievement because it got simply bugged. Very annoying. But the story, locations and whole
This one deserves more attention than it has gotten. First off it is alternative history which is unique, at least to me; I think the only other games I have that fit this descriptor are the last two Wolfenstein games
Thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought it years ago and got frustrated for some reason and just picked it up again and I'm glad I did. - Difficulty: I'm not great at souls-likes but I managed to work my way through this pretty
