Steelrising ps45/16/2023 ![]() You’ll also find that some enemies can actually parry you! Parrying is considered a special attack too, so many weapons lack the ability and will require liberal use of the dodge button instead. You may also encounter some with special moves that are basically useless for similar reasons, including my beloved Falchion and Sabre, which has a blade dance that takes ages and doesn’t interrupt enemy attacks, making it a liability. Each comes with their own playstyles, but some are a touch unbalanced – the Wheel of Vengeance does good damage, but not even close to enough to account for how unbelievably slow it was. I found I’d chosen a class with a melee weapon with a very short range, but was quickly able to replace it with a Falchion and Sabre, then with a fiery ball on a chain, then a halberd… you get the idea. First, obviously you have weapons, which can be upgraded to keep up with you if you find one you fall in love with. You have a few things to help you against the many, many automatons you’ll be facing. ![]() It might not be quite as taxing as other games in the genre, or maybe I’ve just gotten better at them whilst I wasn’t looking, but it’s still going to pummel you into the ground if you don’t carefully balance your defence and attack. Make no mistake, Steelrising is pretty hard and you’ll need every edge you can get in a Soulslike – the first boss took me down quite a few times before I got through it. Despite the prettiness of Steelrising, you should still switch right over to performance mode and play at 60fps. ![]()
