This VS Steel Rising

[AlucarD]

Premise seems similar, is this better gameplay wise 🤔

They are filled with things that make them extremely easy, especially DS1 and Elden Ring.

I was stomping bosses in ER using summons and it's not because of skill.

I can tell you haven't played Steel Rising and I think you heavily underestimate how easy it was for being advertised as a "soulslike".

You could >literally< chain stun every boss in the game barring 1 to death at range.

Imagine the Margit Shackle, but it's reusable and it works on everything.

While Steelrising started as a souls-like, they walked back on that.
They made changes getting it out of this subgenre and just into ARPG.
Even before then, the difficulty was underwhelming.
Given the update it's just false advertising.

Many games have an easily exploitable way to win that often isnt patched. Spiffing Brit does a comedy series based on this.

Morrowwind is considered one of the best game of all times, even though you could pump your alchemy into the thousands.

Having exploitable bombs does not make Steelrising any less of a fairly good game or less of a soulslikes.

Not surprising, Spiders usually makes Bioware style rpgs, and they wanted to do something different, but their core audience doesnt care to be pushed to play at souls standard difficulty, its really not surprising they had to return to what their base wanted.

No one stated that using exploits means the game is bad, using morrowind isn't a good example since its a sandbox. Steel rising is still an easy game even without the use of grenades stop coping.

Spiders makes AA RPG's steelrising was a take on the french revolution with robots. Do to the games overall easy difficulty, poor game performance, like of enemy variety and barren plot it fell by the wayside. Greedfall was the only game in there library that was successful.

I would say Steel Rising, I have not even found the Demo for this game....

Not buying this if Gamepass Members just get it day one.

So you are making a call because you can't find the demo for this?

I really like to play a Demo yes, and I know there was one avalaible for this game.

Steelrising was fun. Not perfect, but a unique setting (something Spiders excels at) and good enough gameplay. Definitely worth a playthrough if you like the genre and don’t expect it to match From quality.

I prefer steel rising - much better combat and exploration, here You can’t even jump. Story wise I enjoyed SR but don’t know lies of P yet so it’s hard to say at the moment

[BobsRevenge]

Steel Rising is very underrated, and I recommend anyone who enjoys Lies of P and wants more should pick it up. They also patched the grenade exploit to be less powerful at some point. It's one of my favorite souls-likes due to the great setting and vibes, as well as the fun I had with my counter-heavy dex build. At this point, many people have upgraded their graphics cards as well, and you won't have any issues running this game on 30- or 40-series cards with a modern CPU.

I enjoyed Steelrising much more than this game's demo. The bosses were a bit whatever, but I found a weapon I enjoyed quite fast, I liked the parry/counter system and that's what matter the most for games such as these. With Lies of P I was underwhelmed, will have to wait for the full game to see if it can grip me in some way.

I did play it and I know it was extremely easy

Thing is the average human doesn't need games to be THAT easy for them to be ''playable''. Something like Elden Ring when using summons is pretty easy and playable by anyone.

[viktorhallo]

i liked steel rising except for the lack of difficulty. i played at the hardest and it was to easy. i like games that fight back. how they managed to make a soul games with multiple difficultys and at the same time make the hardest one easier than average for soullikes is beyond my understanding.

[Apollok1ds]

Steel Rising took me around 25hours to beat. While it was a good souls like, it wasnt amazing. Very little enemy variety and the weapons were pretty generic. I still recommend Steel Rising, but at a discount.
Lies of P demo was fantastic and already better than Steel Rising. It is also getting great reviews so go with Lies of P

Steel Rising is terrible
