During the Tokyo Games Show 2024, a discussion with Alexander Kudishov, executive producer at ESDigital Games, offered fresh details about Steel Seed, a sci-fi action adventure that blends exploration, platforming and intense combat in a futuristic setting.
Here is a detailed look at what was revealed about the project:
- In terms of gameplay, the title fuses the exploration and puzzle pacing of Tomb Raider with the globe-trotting action of Uncharted, reimagined for a science‑fiction universe.
- The central figure, Zoe, is guided by an assistant drone named Coby, a companion as essential as a trusty droid in space sagas.
- Players can directly pilot the drone, using its capabilities to hack terminals and unlock doors, adding a tactical layer to all encounters.
- Upgrades apply to both Zoe and the drone, each with its own skill tree to expand choices during play.
- The design emphasizes replay value, offering multiple routes so the game can be completed through stealth, aggressive tactics, or a mix of both.
- Players will face a diverse roster of enemies and bosses, crafted to challenge different combat styles and strategies.
- The team consists of five developers, and the project carries a Class AA designation, signaling ambitious scope within a mid-sized studio.
It is notable that gamers can try Steel Seed for free by downloading a demo version on Steam.
