This makes exploration more difficult but also encourages players to pay attention to their surroundings. However, take note that the in-game map itself isn’t interactive so you can’t just check and track your course on where you’re headed next. The story also has Aegis getting drafted into political machinations and restarting the resistance.Īside from the Souls-like combat mechanics, it offers an open-world map full of interesting areas and levels of verticality-with Aegis’ grappling hook and air dash skill letting you access hard-to-reach locations. Armed with deadly weapons and a highly adaptable robot body that can be upgraded in numerous ways, the game allows you to confront a wide range of unique mechanical enemies and bosses throughout the large map of Paris. You play as Aegis-the queen’s sentient automaton bodyguard and Vaucanson’s masterpiece-that has been tasked with stopping the king. Queen Marie Antoinette eventually decides enough is enough. As such, Paris ends up devastated and the people suffer as His Majesty continues his reign of terror. The sudden popularity of automata led to ingenious designs by the brilliant engineer Vaucanson-which, in turn, led to the French Revolution failing due to King Louis XVI’s army of machines suppressing the resistance.

Steelrising is set in an alternate version of 18th-century Paris.
