String together dodges, parries, jumps and devastating attacks to fight your way through Paris. Up against the king’s mechanical soldiers, deadly accuracy will be needed. 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. The city burns and bleeds as it suffers the madness of King Louis XVI and his violent legions of automatons. It’s designed to be a very demanding game, but players can modify difficulty settings to make it much more approachable, including turning off a mechanic that sees players lose all of their Anima Essence they’ve yet to spend when they die. Players navigate maze-like streets and corridors, fighting robots while keeping an eye out for treasure that might include grenades, new weapons and gear, restorative oil cans, and Anima Essence a resource you can use to level up Aegis and increase her attributes to make her stronger. The game’s focus is combat, with Aegis tasked to take on a range of increasingly powerful and agile enemy robots using a variety of ranged and melee weapons.

Aegis a feminine-styled automaton is loyal to the queen, not the king, and follows her orders to enter Paris and join in the fight. Set during the French Revolution, STEELRISING tells an alternate history story concerning Aegis, a robot assigned to be bodyguard to Queen Marie-Antoinette, who fears for herself and her country as France’s mad king uses robot armies to wreak havoc on the land.
