    Encore un jeu développer par un studio français sans doublage FR et pour ce cas qui se déroule en "France". Le comble

    Бой интересный. Графика приятная. Столкнулся с необходимостью гринда в 3 главе.

    This game was not finished and should never have been released. Be careful with your setups.

    This game is uncompleted for sure. The optimization of the game had been prepared very badly, it's really hard to play with even medium settings.

    The setting of the game looks appealing even though the subject is cliche.

    And of course, another fake Dark Souls game, we're really done with these kind of games. Nothing speacial nor the game promises something interesting...

    This is cheap souls clone.
    The frame rate is terrible because it is not optimized.
    Completed in 12 hours. There is currently no NG+, so we have to wait for an update.
    There are many weapons, but there is also a lot of garbage.
    At least I can't recommend buying it at full price now.

    Sere breve, Nada me apetece menos que ser una bailarina del renacimiento en un Soul-like. Este juego no tiene nada que pueda atraer a un veterano de las almas, es facil, tosco, simple y desangelado. Los decorados son terribles y los enemigos nada inspirados. Es tan artificial como su protagonista y tan poco epico como las pelucas que porta.

    No es tan terrible como Thymesia, pero se le acerca, al menos aqui no te obligan a hacer "parrys" todo el rato. Con otros juegos tengo la esperanza que los "modders" lo arreglen, pero de este no quiero volver a saber nada. Una decepcion.    … Expand

    Yet another Dark Souls clone - yawn! Enough already! Souls mechanics aren't that great to be copy & pasted over and over again!

    There is nothing new to see here, you once again collect [insert game currency] after slaying enemies, when you die you respawn at the last [insert game save point] you rested at and have one chance to reclaim [game currency] by returning to that spot without dying again. Using [game save point] also respawns all enemies except for bosses. The game's main goal is to fight bosses and mini bosses, yada yada, nothing new here.
    Steelrising drops the grimdark atmosphere in favor of an overly colorful 18th century France backdrop with robots(!). I prefer the dark fantasy which is why this one rates even lower than Thymesia for me. Graphics themselves are alright but nothing to write home about. Unfortunately the game is very poorly optimized so be prepared for a lot of stuttering - in a game that relies entirely on timing! Frame dips are frequent this is an absolute no-go. How these 10 out of 10 morons simply ignore this is beyond me.
    The reason some reviewers seem to get overly excited about Steelrising's graphics probably is due to the fact that the big front runners FromSoft have delivered their games with the same outdated graphics engine from 2011 on and all other titles look next gen by comparison.
    Steelrising also makes the mistake of putting a $50 price tag on this game. Sorry it's a C game lacking anyinnovation, worth $20 max! Definitely a wait for a deep deep sale and only if you are a die hard Souls fan and need to own every game in this "genre". There are much better titles (Mortal Shell, Lords of the Fallen) than this. If you want something that isn't dark fantasy (why would you?) Deck 13 has you covered with The Surge 2.
    Hard pass & refund on my side. Sorry.    … Expand

    It's not that good of a game in all honesty, but I guess the premise is pretty cool.

    Graphics are terrible, cant run ultra textures with RTX 3080 and it looks like 2012 title at best, they didnt optimize it at all i guess, this game looks and plays like cheap DS clone.

    Steelrising is a stylish, original game, despite its numerous blemishes. There is fun to be had in saving Paris during a revolution.

    The result is not a bad game, but Steelrising's beautiful and imaginative shell is wrapped around a workmanlike interior. [Issue#377, p.110]

    Steelrising is completely different from what the fans of Spiders’ previous games could expect. It copies traditional soulslike mechanics but does stand out thanks to an interesting art direction and options that let you adjust the difficulty level to your liking. It should have been optimized better though, because the game’s visual quality does not justify its thirst for processing power.
