This game is currently in the Humble Choice for May 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before June 4th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
Dark Souls with Marie Antionette
Steelrising has some interesting thoughts. Marie Antoinette is decrying the French Revolution. Though in this universe King Louie has created automats, basically clockwork robots. Marie has her own loyal version, Aeris, controlled by the player. Steelrising starts with this interesting concept, however, once you choose your archetype and start the game there are French influences, but so far it’s another Dark Souls Game. There are great choices for the Art Design and the combat feels fluid.
Well mostly, the dodge is more of a side step that never feels as good as a full tumble. Overall this is a game trying to not be like other Souls-Likes so you have stuff like a massive jump but lack the weight and feeling of a Souls-like Combat, it’s being different but different isn’t exactly better in this case.
Pick this up if you’re a fan of Souls-like and want a B-Tier entry. You can also look at the other games Spiders, the studio behind this, has made. That includes games like Greedfall and Of Orcs and Men. They’re interesting concepts but overall I don’t think they are the top-tier games people will be raving about. Still, it’s a Souls-like.
