The city burns and bleeds as it suffers the madness of King Louis XVI and his violent legions of automatons. Aegis, a mechanical masterpiece created by the engineer Vaucanson to be the queen's bodyguard, must save the French Revolution in this challenging action-RPG.
CHALLENGING COMBAT BETWEEN AUTOMATONS
Up against the king's mechanical soldiers, deadly accuracy will be needed. String together dodges, parries, jumps and devastating attacks to fight your way through Paris. Every fight will test your nerve and requires excellent discipline, while the huge relentless machine bosses demand patience and skill.
AEGIS: A CHARACTER WITH EXTRAORDINARY SKILLS
Define your own style and upgrade your abilities as you progress through the game. You can play as a ruthless warrior, a hard-hitting bodyguard, a deadly dancer or a virtuoso of the elemental arts. Take advantage of a wide variety of weapons and skills to approach each fight in your own unique way.
REVOLUTIONARY PARIS IS YOUR PLAYGROUND
Using carriages, grapples, secret passages, a detailed map, and other methods and tools you find along the way, explore a city experiencing its darkest days. Your grappling hook adds a new dimension to exploration and Paris's verticality. Combined with your dash ability, it will provide access to all the city's secrets across multiple levels you can explore over and over again.
CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY
You are one of the main characters of an alternative history where Paris is being choked by a tyrant king. Allies and enemies with unclear motives will cross your path, such as Marie-Antoinette, Lafayette and Robespierre. It's up to you to cut a path through all the plotting and put an end to one man's madness so that the French Revolution succeeds.
I don't agree with the people who think it's a bad game. It's simply not great, nor close to it. Still worth picking up on sale, and giving it a try. Once. Barely recommended.
Before I ever got Steel Rising, I did read the reviews, and after playing it I felt many of the complaints were people just whining over minutiae. No, the stamina meter is fine. Sure, beating the same enemy type is a bit repeptitive, but having the same few enemy types in an area is somethign most souls do. No, the movements are not awkward, this changes once you get used to it. And so on. There are far greater concerns than those.
I've played this game twice, although I reckon it's not that good, but I'd still say worth playing once. It should be noted some enemies are an authentic pain in the derrière (souls moment), your mistakes will rarely forgiven (souls moment), and some bosses are hard to deal with (souls moment) whereas others are more gimmicky than the gatekeeper in Lies of P. (One of them can be beat simply by running circles around him in a specific direction while light-attacking. I owe you one, internet.)
Don't expect too much and you'll find an entertaining combination of tough enemies and merciless combat. That's about it.
Pretty easy for a soulslike but has great graphics, story, mechanics, sound design and music. I really enjoyed this game and glad I picked it up. Very worth playing.
I really don't mind the game. I think it has promise, but at the moment of writing this, 9-20-22, it has yet to receive and optimize patch to work on PCs. So there is a bit of stutter issues. The addition of accessibility mode is a big plus, as it allows people who are not overly fantastic at Souls-type games to still play this for the story.
Be aware tho if you buy this game for PC you need to make sure you have a hefty PC to play it at an okay setting/graphic levels. I came up under the min PC specs and there is very noticeable screen tearing, long loading times, and lag especially in cutscenes.
the game as of right now needs more optimization however it runs fine on my system and its a good game overall .
dark souls type of combat
steampunk settings
interesting weapons
weak story
optimization
lack of a proper tutorial or maybe the entire game is the tutorial ? some stuff was kinda hard to find out and by that i mean weapon animation canceling etc
the game wont even launch properly without crashing, keeps giving hardware removed error, basically making it unplayable. Avoid at all cost and save your money, as a refund on here is impossible......
