Netflix Games has just enriched its library with the highly-anticipated release of **Steel Paws**, a new free-to-play title available exclusively to Netflix subscribers. This latest addition is a collaborative effort with the legendary Yu Suzuki, renowned for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, and promises an engaging experience for platforming brawler enthusiasts.
Available on both iOS and Android through Netflix's gaming catalogue, **Steel Paws** places you in the role of a cybernetic explorer tasked with ascending a mysterious tower. With the help of your robotic companions, you can customize and upgrade them, utilizing their unique abilities to fend off waves of hostile mechanical enemies that guard the path to the tower's summit.
The influence of Yu Suzuki is evident in **Steel Paws**, with its emphasis on brawling, special moves, and intricate sub-systems showcased prominently in the game's trailer. However, while Suzuki's reputation precedes him, the game does have some areas for improvement, such as the occasionally unexpressive protagonist and somewhat stiff animations.
Despite these minor drawbacks, there's a strong hope that **Steel Paws** will prove to be a success for Netflix. A triumph in the realm of full-fledged 3D brawlers could elevate Netflix Games beyond being merely a platform for tie-ins to popular shows, and instead, position it as a serious contender in the mobile gaming market.
