Netflix Games has just enriched its lineup with the highly-anticipated release of **Steel Paws**, a brand-new, full-fledged free-to-play title available to all Netflix subscribers. This platforming brawler, developed in collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki, is now available on both iOS and Android via Netflix's gaming catalogue. In Steel Paws, you take on the role of a cybernetic explorer tasked with ascending a mysterious tower, aided by your robotic companions. Customize and upgrade these allies, and harness their unique special moves to combat waves of menacing mechanical enemies that stand in your way to the top.
Yu Suzuki, famed for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, lends his expertise to Steel Paws, bringing a touch of his signature style to the game. The trailer showcases a focus on intense brawling, special moves, and complex sub-systems, echoing Suzuki's influence. However, while the gameplay looks promising, some aspects, such as the unexpressive main character and occasionally stiff animations, give pause.
Despite these minor concerns, there's a strong rooting interest in Steel Paws succeeding. A successful 3D brawler like this could elevate Netflix Games beyond being just a platform for casual tie-ins to popular shows, such as Too Hot to Handle spinoffs, and truly establish it as a serious contender in the mobile gaming arena.
