Steelrising - NECROmancing the DLC P2
1This game was quite a nice surprise as it very much gave me Bloodborne vibes but set during the French Revolution with Mechanical Automatons, also has some cool Metroid-vania type elements thrown in. Was free on PS+ in March 2024 (Almost 2 years after the game came out) so I thought I'd give it a go. Takes a bit for the Story to really make sense and take off but over-all pretty good stuff. Having a lot of fun with the Level Design and Combat. Some of the weapons are neat too.
STEELRISING
Paris, 1789. The French Revolution has been suppressed with bloodshed by Louis XVI and his merciless mechanical army. Aegis, a mysterious automaton masterpiece, must confront the king's army alone to save history in this challenging action-RPG.
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.
