Yu Suzuki Unveils New Android Game: Steel Paws

Steel Paws is an exhilarating new action RPG available exclusively to Netflix subscribers on Android. Crafted by the legendary Yu Suzuki, the mastermind behind SEGA's Virtua Fighter and Shenmue, this game plunges you into an intense journey up a colossal tower, accompanied by a squad of battle-ready robot cats.

What’s the Story?

In Steel Paws, you embody a purple-haired warrior clad in a mechanical suit, tasked with battling robotic adversaries. Your trusty companions are Buddy Robots—loyal, cat-like machines that serve as your most potent weapons. Together, you can execute powerful team attacks, launching these robotic felines like furry missiles against your foes.

The adventure begins when an ancient tower erupts from the earth, sending shockwaves across the world. Intrigued by a floating stone adorned with mysterious symbols, your hero ventures inside. However, the moment you step in, your robotic feline companions are captured by an ominous, unseen voice. The voice challenges you to reclaim your friends by conquering the tower, floor by floor, while unraveling the tower's enigmatic secrets.
