Steelrising Beta Available Today for Those That Preordered, Features Two Levels of the Game

Steelrising beta now available to those that preordered the game.

Souls like action RPG Steelrising will have a beta starting today August 25 and will be available to all that have preordered the game. The beta will feature two starting levels – Saint Cloud and Les Invalides.

Here’s a quick description of the game based on the press release provided.

“Inspired by numerous historical sources, the Spiders studio has reproduced some of the emblematic monuments of the Parisian capital such as the Louvre, Notre-Dame de Paris or Les Invalides, but also several monuments that have now disappeared such as the Grand Chatelet, the Pont au Change or the famous Bastille.”

“1789 is the year of the Storming of the Bastille and the start of the monarchy's downfall. Steelrising depicts an alternative version of history: what if King Louis XVI, who loved clockmaking, had built an army of robots capable of quelling the insurrection? Powerful and cruel, this army spares no one and violently punishes rebels. Paris is burning and bleeding. Men, women and children are being systematically massacred.”

“Aegis, an automaton created as a dancer for the pleasure of the Court, is now a warrior and Marie-Antoinette's bodyguard. The Queen has tasked Aegis with cutting a path through Paris where the machines are sowing terror. Each fight with these mechanical enemies is a challenge where the player's skills are severely tested. Such is the price to pay for those who want to change the course of history.“
