You need way too much anima to level up, and not enough enemies are scattered throughout a level in order for you to constantly grind.
Steelrising‘s progression is just unfair, which is ironic coming from a game boasting about its accessibility options and really easy-going first bosses. So far, so good, right? Well, the problem lies on the ridiculous amount of anima needed to level up once. In this case, you collect “anima” (which is Latin for “soul”, subtly enough). Just like Dark Souls and its brethren, you collect an experience-esque macguffin in order to level up. The biggest issue I had with it was its progression system. Maybe we are just too used to the sheer fluidity of some bigger-budgeted soulslikes, but the slower pace of Steelrising‘s combat is noticeable, especially considering how nimble Aegis is OUTSIDE of combat. For starters, the combat is a bit sluggish. None of them are complete deal-breakers, but the sheer amount of small inconveniences and questionable design choices weigh the game down a lot. The problem lies in the game’s execution. You can create tons of different builds, incentivizing replayability.Īegis showing some of the hottest trends of the 1789 Paris Fashion Week. I also really liked how the game tied Aegis’ stamina bar to an overheating mechanic sorts, given how she’s a robot, and how you can increase your cooldown with specific buffs. For instance, I favored a build comprised of a pair of steel fans that could be used as a parriable shield, as well as a long-range whip which could be lit on fire, dealing elemental damage against other long-ranged enemies, and boy, are there plenty.

It’s full of great ideas, namely a ton of varied weapons that completely differ from one another in terms of how they can be used against enemies. The gameplay is a department where Steelrising shines… until it doesn’t. You will want to play the damn thing to the very end for that reason alone, despite the jank that is expected from a AA game like this. There are lots of cutscenes and additional documents to unveil, however, making the world even more believable, despite how bonkers it is.
It’s amazing how they have managed to achieve this mesh of 18th century cyberpunk storytelling, Fullmetal Alchemist-esque elements, and alternate retellings of historical events in a quasi Assassin’s Creed way, all while maintaining the Souls tradition of improving the world’s lore with item descriptions. I am pretty sure I killed you in Demon’s Souls…Ĭreating a unique world is Spiders’ forte, and Steelrising‘s world is their best so far.
