Souls-like in Paris: critics liked the atmosphere, the setting, and the Steelrising combat system

Tomorrow - September 8 - the action-RPG Steelrising from the French studio Spiders will be released.
The game in an unusual alternative history setting arouses the interest of the public, but so far it has tried only journalists, who shared their opinion about the project.

The game has not received the highest ratings. On Metacritic the PC-version was rated at 79 points (4 reviews), and the console version gained even less: on PS5 Steelrising gathered 71 points, and on Xbox Series - 72 points.

Critics were pleased with the visual style, atmosphere, location design, the appearance of characters, dynamic combat system and interesting opponents. The game offers both a high difficulty for experienced players and a simplified Assist mode for those who are not familiar with the souls-like genre.

However, most experts agree that Steelrising is too ambitious project for such a modest studio as Spiders. The authors had a great idea, but they obviously didn't have enough budget and experience in this genre to create a really impressive game. However, even this result was considered by journalists to be worthy.
