Steelrising - Soulslike from Spiders set in clockpunk 18th century France

[ChildInTime]

Now available as a separate video:

I listened to it, and still don't know whether it's an rpg or just a dark souls clone.

I listened to it, and still don't know whether it's an rpg or just a dark souls clone.

Sounds a lot like Dark Souls to me:

action-focused
vertical exploration
move from fight to fight
weapons intergrated to body
more than 7 weapons
families of weapons
lots of side quests

“Lots of sidequests” does not sound like Dark Souls or its imitators.

Dark Souls had NPCs-related side quests. I am guessing this is going to be similar.

sounds like every action-rpg ever.

Why bother differentiating action RPGs. Kingdom Come: Deliverance? Dark Souls? Same shit, right?

 

[calgary.alberta]

Meh, lost interest on this one.

Mixing future technology with the past always seemed incredibly goofy to me. Flying pyramids, steampunk, 18th century robots...peak cringe.

Then again if we get a good Souls-like with great level design I could live with it.

there is nothing specific in that list that can trace back to Dark Souls. Action focused, vertical exploration, lots of sidequests, more than 7 weapons - that's basically Elex. Hell, just add a jump ability to Greedfall and it will match the description, except for integrated weapons.

If Spiders would've said "there are checkpoints where you replenish your resources, and all enemies respawn once you take a rest" - then you could say "sounds a lot like Dark Souls to me".

The setting has me hyped but like all Spiders game, this will be bad.

No, those two games have very little in common. Have you played Kingdom Come?

Most ARPGs really don’t have much overlap with the soulsborne formula.

I don't know if she already hit the wall or whatever she's using made her visibly look more ragged. Greedfall wasn't that long ago.

I like the idea of making a 18th century Nier Automata, I just hope Aegis's assets don't fall flat

I am thinking this is going to be very combat-oriented due to very heavy emphasis put on weapons and on "moving from fight to fight" (basically the whole interview is about it). While action RPGs in general do feature combat as significant part of their gameplay, some are pretty much exclusively geared towards it.

But I may be wrong. It is a possibility.

I was being sarcastic.

Here is what they list in the online form as "games you have played before", you can clearly see the inspiration.

Dark Souls series
Darksiders series
Greedfall
Bloodborne
Sekiro : Shadows Die Twice
Assassin's Creed Unity

 

[Infinitron]

King Louis XVI's automata army is terrorising the citizens of Paris. Join the Revolution as Aegis and fight against this reign of terror to try and change the course of history!

Steelrising will be available on PC and next-gen consoles.

Those fan blades seem like a poor choice when fighting robots

How can you forget cybernetic dinos?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

looks awful
sigh, I'm going to buy it anyways to fund technomancer 2

 

[Bad Sector]

Looks nice. Spiders hasn't disappointed me so far, i'll buy it on GOG when i have money.

 

[cyborgboy95]

Look like Steelrising caught the attention of Nier's director, good for marketing I guess.

 

[Infinitron]

Coming June 2022.
