Steelrising Free Download GAMESPACK.NET You know that one soulslike game that is a decent enough take on the genre, but also has a bit of wonkiness that otherwise holds it back? Sorry, did you think I was talking about Lords of the Fallen, or maybe Mortal Shell? Or perhaps you thought I meant The Surge, Ashen, Vampyr, or Remnant: From The Ashes – or even Thymesia from earlier this month? No, in this case I was referring to Steelrising, a French Revolution-themed action-RPG that’s chock full of creepy robots, emotionally unstable aristocrats in powdered wigs, and death screens that tell you you’re dead. The unfathomably weird setting is a delight, but simplistic combat and underwhelming boss fights end up making disappointing use of it. That means in the long list of recent serviceable soulslikes with lots of rough edges, Steelrising is… well, another one of those. .TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Set in a bizarre alternate history version of the French Revolution where Louis XVI has crushed his would-be usurpers using monstrous robots, you play as Aegis, a stoic dancing robot turned lone warrior who has to face the king’s mechanical army. Everything about the setting is incredibly weird in the best possible way: all the robo-folk take design cues from old school clockwork machines of the time period, you spend a lot of time hanging out with actual French revolutionaries like Lafayette and Robespierre, and Marie Antoinette herself serves as your boss and chief quest-giver, which never stops feeling super strange (but I’m into it). The roughly 15-hour campaign tells a pretty predictable “down with the king” story that has you turning increasingly dangerous metal machinations into scrap, but the peculiar setting and characters help make that journey mostly enjoyable.

CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY

The hit-or-miss voice acting for its historical figures is shored up by some great writing and interesting side missions as you assemble a group of renegades to help you fight the king. For example, a charismatic revolutionary will ask you to help him in his fight to end slavery, and a side quest later on lets you rob the king’s treasury and then decide which of two opposing political causes you’d like to use those funds to support, complete with dialogue options to pick from. Some of these decisions affect the outcome of the story in major ways, which was a welcome surprise in a genre that usually relies heavily on cryptic environmental storytelling. Plus, Steelrising isn’t afraid to touch on some interesting philosophical and political topics like dictatorships, the consequences of bloody insurrections, and some surprising late-game story developments that I won’t spoil here.

Cutting down robots is fun and all, but I quite enjoyed taking a break from the action to debate politics with my French compatriots from time to time. Between those moments, Steelrising does still place most of its focus on the tried and true recipe of fighting your way through areas filled with deadly enemies in hopes of reaching the next save point before eventually killing a big, scary boss. All the expected chords are struck here, including respawning enemies when reaching save points, losing your primary resource upon death (called “anima essence” in this case), and third-person hack-and-slash combat that has you dodging around and using limited consumables to recover health. It’s a formula that’s all too familiar, and although I’m a fan of soulslikes, it’s still a bit eyebrow-raising how remarkably little this iteration does to set itself apart from all the other options we have nowadays.

REVOLUTIONARY PARIS IS YOUR PLAYGROUND

An unoriginal idea can still be executed in exciting ways, but Steelrising doesn’t completely nail some of the game mechanics it tries to replicate either. Combat is a fairly one-note contest of dodging and slicing with a few status ailments, special moves, and weapon types thrown in to jazz things up. There are certainly some interesting weapon options, many of which have special abilities associated with them that might let you block or fire a weapon from afar in addition to its melee strikes. That includes the fire chain, which lets you ignite enemies from a distance in style, as well as the nimble glass-core batons, which I relied on extensively to freeze and then wail on my enemies. However, swinging those weapons is frequently imprecise, and combat can feel downright janky at times as a result.

but enemies often waddle around and simply let you kill them, and I sometimes got stuck on pieces of the environment at the worst moments. Plus, the age-old problem of a terrible camera that floats through objects and obscures your view is likely to cause issues on a regular basis. Steelrising will feel familiar to anyone used to the Souls-like style of measured combat and thoughtful encounter design. Your offensive repertoire consists of both light and heavy attacks, including a charged attack that’s slow but deals heavy damage. A responsive dodge lets you weave out of danger, but Steelrising doesn’t have a dedicated block button; instead, each weapon has either an attacking or defensive special move. I spent most of the game using Aegis’ steel fans, which, when combined together, form a shield that can block enemy attacks.

CHALLENGING COMBAT BETWEEN AUTOMATONS

Other weapons, such as dual swords, maces, and heavy wheels, utilize other special moves like counters and lengthy balletic attacks. Because your choice of weapon might not always give you the chance to defend yourself, combat in Steelrising promotes aggression above all else. The pace of each fight is still relatively slow, but Aegis is enjoyably mobile as you dodge and jump to avoid incoming blows before replying with your own attacks. Each of these actions is governed by a familiar stamina system, but a well-timed button press when your endurance is depleted will top it back up by instantly cooling your internal mechanisms. The only drawback to this is that if you use it too many times in quick succession, your cooling system will freeze you in place and leave you wide open to attack. Not only is this a tonally clever addition, but mastering the mechanic helps to keep you on the front foot.

This is key, because Steelrising also features an auspicious staggering mechanic known as Immobilisation. By giving an enemy no reprieve, you’ll fill up a diamond-shaped gauge until it reaches a breaking point, at which point your unfortunate foe will become immobilized and vulnerable to a high-damage critical strike. There’s a rewarding rush of adrenaline that comes from wailing on an enemy and tacitly using your cooling system to maintain your offensive onslaught, only to then finish them off with a decisive flourish. Though each of these mechanics is geared toward an aggressive fighting style, Steelrising is still a traditional Souls-like, focusing on deliberate combat against tough enemies who can’t be underestimated. Each enemy requires consideration to defeat, at least until you’ve learned their deadly-yet-exploitable attack patterns.

There are dozens of enemy types, too, some of which have been cleverly designed to further inform you of the world prior to its current state. For every machine wielding conventional weaponry, there are others that clearly served a different purpose in everyday Parisian life, like the musical machines that reduce you to scrap with their trumpets and violins or former lampposts who now use their metal braziers to crush anything standing in their way. Your natural inclination might be to get behind each enemy, but some can twist their bodies 360 degrees to catch you off-guard, subverting a classic Souls-like strategy to keep you on your toes. Fighting multiple opponents at once is interesting as well, since different enemy types can inflict damage on one another. I would often try to position myself in such a way that they’d lend an unintentional helping hand by striking each other when trying to hit me. Five Nights At Freddys Security Breach
