Steelrising is an action-adventure RPG developed by Spiders and published by Nacon, released on September 8, 2022. Set in an alternate history during the French Revolution, the game features a protagonist named Aegis, a mechanical guardian crafted by engineer Vaucanson, tasked with thwarting the tyrannical King Louis XVI and his army of automatons. Players navigate a war-torn Paris, engaging in intense combat against mechanical foes that demand precise dodging, parrying, and counterattacking skills.
Customization is key, as players can define Aegis’s abilities, allowing for diverse combat styles—ranging from a fierce warrior to a master of elemental arts. Exploration in the game is enriched by verticality, utilizing tools like grappling hooks to uncover hidden secrets across the city.
Players will encounter various historical figures, including Marie Antoinette and Robespierre, each with unclear motives, influencing the course of the Revolution. The game encourages players to immerse themselves in its narrative while facing formidable challenges from both enemies and colossal machine bosses. For optimal performance, a minimum of 8 GB RAM and an RTX 2060 graphics card are recommended.
