Yu Suzuki's 'Steel Paws' hits Netflix

by Matthew Sep 23,2025

Netflix Games expands its library with Steel Paws, the newest high-profile release developed in collaboration with legendary creator Yu Suzuki

Tower Climbing Meets Robot Companions

Available today on iOS and Android, Steel Paws transports players to a futuristic world where they control a cybernetic adventurer scaling a mysterious tower. The free-to-play (with Netflix subscription) brawler features upgradable robotic allies and diverse special abilities for combating mechanical foes.

A Visionary Creator's New Project

Yu Suzuki, famed for the Shenmue series, brings his signature touch to Steel Paws with deep combat mechanics and complex gameplay systems evident in the trailer. However, early impressions note occasional stiff animations and an expressionless protagonist.
