Yu Suzuki Unveils New Android Game: Steel Paws

Steel Paws is an exciting new action RPG available exclusively on Android for Netflix subscribers. Developed by the legendary Yu Suzuki, known for his work on Virtua Fighter and Shenmue, this game invites you to embark on an adrenaline-pumping journey up a colossal tower, accompanied by an army of battle-ready robot cats.

What’s the Story?

In Steel Paws, you step into the shoes of a purple-haired warrior clad in a mechanical suit, tasked with battling robotic enemies. Your companions are Buddy Robots—loyal, cat-like machines that serve as your most potent weapons. Together, you can execute team attacks, launching these feline machines at foes like furry missiles.

The adventure begins when an ancient tower suddenly emerges from the earth, sending shockwaves across the world. Drawn to a mysterious floating stone adorned with cryptic markings, your hero ventures inside. However, this decision leads to the immediate capture of your robotic feline crew. A chilling, unseen voice challenges you to fight your way to the top of the tower to rescue your friends. Thus, you ascend floor by floor, confronting an array of mechanical adversaries and unraveling the tower's hidden secrets.

Steel Paws Is a Sci-Fi Fantasy

The game's combat system is designed to be fluid and engaging, rewarding players for well-timed strikes and strategic use of special moves. Each attack from your robotic cat companions is accompanied by a resounding meow, adding a unique flair to the battles.

Steel Paws offers checkpoints midway through each stage, providing a safety net so you don't have to restart from the beginning if you're defeated. You can also adjust the difficulty to suit your skill level.

Incorporating roguelike elements, the game ensures that every replay of a stage brings new challenges. Enemy placements, resources, and map layouts change, and different levels introduce unique environmental hazards such as shifting sands or slippery ice.

At its heart, Steel Paws is all about fast-paced melee combat. If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can dive into this thrilling experience on the Google Play Store.
