Netflix Games has just enriched its gaming library with the eagerly awaited launch of **Steel Paws**, a new free-to-play title available exclusively to Netflix subscribers. This latest addition, developed in collaboration with the renowned Yu Suzuki, is now available on both iOS and Android platforms, offering an exciting mix of platforming and brawling action.
In **Steel Paws**, players take on the role of a cybernetic explorer tasked with scaling a mysterious tower. Alongside a team of robotic companions, you'll customize and upgrade these allies, harnessing their unique abilities to combat waves of mechanical adversaries blocking your path to the summit.
The influence of Yu Suzuki, celebrated for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, is evident in **Steel Paws**. The game showcases a focus on intricate combat systems, special moves, and engaging sub-systems, hallmarks of Suzuki's design philosophy seen in the game's trailer.

While Suzuki's reputation precedes him, **Steel Paws** does have its moments of critique. The main character's lack of expressiveness and occasionally stiff animations may give some players pause. However, the game's impressive gameplay mechanics and potential for depth are promising signs.
As a fan of full-fledged 3D brawlers, I'm hopeful that **Steel Paws** will prove to be a standout title for Netflix. A success here could elevate Netflix's gaming service beyond just hosting tie-ins to popular shows, setting a new standard for mobile gaming experiences.
