After a while in one area it all blended together. I found a lot of the locations looked similar, and there weren’t many unique landmarks. The lack of a proper map in Steelrising was bothersome to me. I found the tutorials helpful, as they are stored in a guide where you can easily find anything you don’t remember, like special moves, mechanics or facts. You also have the ability to change subtitles to small, medium or large. Some players prefer the challenge, but with the way the game handles, I didn’t have the patience to constantly restart due to glitches and poor controls.Īlong with accessibility and inclusivity, Steelrising is available in 14 languages. Enabling Assist Mode does limit the trophies you can get, but to play the game without stress was worth it to me. I loved that Steelrising is bringing accessibility to games like this, and players have the choice to enable them or not.
You can also enable keeping your Anima Essense after death, Endurance Regeneration Speed and Easy Cooling. You can mitigate damage by different intervals, up to 100%, which is the only way I could make it through the game during the review window and actually progress. Luckily, Steelrising allows for difficulty controls with its Assist Mode.

This all comes with my experience during my time with the game on Xbox Series X. “I loved that Steelrising is bringing accessibility to games like this, and players have the choice to enable them or not.” For a game that requires so much skill and patience to stay alive, it works against you more often than not. The dash you eventually learn feels like it takes longer to move you than just running as it stalls you in the air briefly, and the dodge juts you in random directions sometimes, leaving you open to attacks. The run controls move from 0 to sixty, and you are able to run directly into some furniture pieces putting you on top of them, yet things you should logically be able to jump on, you can’t. A Souls-like is hard on its own, but when your character is often dodging the wrong way, attacks are taking you in all directions, and controls are unresponsive, it makes a hard game near impossible. Unfortunately, where the game struggles most is the finesse of its controls. I chose the Dancer class, as I usually favour agility-strong assassin types. Steelrising features some very exciting ideas in terms of combat that, on paper, sound like a lot of fun. My personal advice is to go with ice damage, freezing Automatons goes a long way in Steelrising, though my personal favourite was the Fire Chain, it’s just too cool to not wield. Some feature Block, some do ice or fire damage, counter-attacks or ranged attacks. Each weapon also features a special ability.
The weapons available in Steelrising are vast, ranging from Fans to Chains to Maces, Dual Swords and more. “ Steelrising features some very exciting ideas in terms of combat that, on paper, sound like a lot of fun.”
These allow them to either chain attacks together, handle heavy weapons, freeze enemies, take heavy damage and more. Each has their strengths, like Bodyguards with increased durability and engineering, Soldiers with power and vigour, Dancers with agility and vigour, and Alchemists with elemental alchemy and engineering. Steelrising features four classes to choose from, Bodyguard, Soldier, Dancer and Alchemist. Aegis has five Module slots, and they can be unlocked with keys found while questing to equip stronger Modules.įor me, what usually keeps me interested in an RPG is the gameplay. Modules are like enchantments from other games, slots that allow for bumping up stats or altering mechanics. This is also where you unlock your Modules with Module Keys.
