• Steel Paws, a new Netflix Games title crafted with Yu Suzuki, launches today
• Scale a mysterious tower with the aid of robotic allies
• Enhance your companions and deploy unique moves to defeat mechanical foes

Netflix Games unveils a thrilling addition to its lineup with the launch of Steel Paws, a free-to-play title available with a Netflix subscription. This action-packed platformer promises an engaging experience, but does it deliver? Let’s dive into what makes it tick.

Now available on iOS and Android through Netflix’s gaming platform, Steel Paws casts you as a cybernetic adventurer climbing a cryptic tower. With your trusty robotic companions, you’ll upgrade their abilities and wield their skills to battle waves of hostile robots blocking your path to the summit.

Yu Suzuki, renowned for the Shenmue series, brings his signature touch to Steel Paws. His influence shines through in the game’s focus on intense brawling, dynamic special moves, and intricate gameplay systems, as showcased in the trailer.

Paws for Thought

While Suzuki’s legacy as a visionary director is undeniable, Steel Paws isn’t without quirks. Moments like the protagonist’s lack of expressiveness and occasionally rigid animations give pause, despite the game’s polished mechanics.

Still, Steel Paws has the potential to be a standout for Netflix Games. A compelling 3D brawler could elevate the platform beyond its reality TV tie-ins, offering a robust gaming experience. Here’s hoping it delivers.
