Steelrising reimagines the French Revolution as a brutal mechanical uprising. King Louis XVI has lost himself to madness, unleashing violent legions of automatons on a burning, bleeding Paris. Into this chaos steps Aegis, an engineering marvel built by Vaucanson to serve as the queen's bodyguard, now tasked with saving the Revolution itself in this demanding action-RPG.
Combat is the heart of the experience, pitting you against the king's mechanical soldiers in exchanges that reward precision and discipline. You string together dodges, parries, jumps and heavy strikes to carve a path through the city, while towering machine bosses test your patience and skill. Aegis can be shaped to your liking, upgraded across playstyles that range from a relentless warrior or hard-hitting bodyguard to a nimble dancer or a master of elemental arts, supported by a broad arsenal of weapons and abilities.
Exploration matters too, as revolutionary Paris becomes a playground built around verticality. A grappling hook and dash open up carriages, secret passages and hidden routes across multiple layers of the city, encouraging you to revisit areas and uncover their secrets. Between the challenging fights and the atmospheric setting, Steelrising offers a distinctive take on the action-RPG adventure on PC.
