Evaluation

Steelrising launched on September 8, 2022 as a complete action-RPG. In the weeks following launch, the developer shipped a New Game Plus update on September 29, 2022, adding a harder difficulty mode with exclusive weapons and enemy variants. The one paid expansion — Cagliostro's Secrets — was announced on October 25, 2022 and released on November 10, 2022, adding a new level, story quest, five weapons, a new boss, and additional characters. All three DLC items listed on the store (a cosmetic pack, the Cagliostro's Secrets expansion, and the Discus Chain weapon pack) were released by November 10, 2022. There have been no developer announcements of further content, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no posts of any kind after November 2022. The game appears to have launched as a complete, self-contained product with one planned expansion that has since shipped. The content cycle concluded with that expansion in November 2022.

About this game

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.
