While all of them have felt short, the fact that I'm actually beating them is amazing. I never beat anything.

xox_Buny_x0x's review of SteamWorld Build | Backloggd

An interesting game. Build was the title I was the least enthused about of the SteamWorld anthology. Its the one game not by Image & Form, its from a genre that while I don't dislike, I don't give a lot of play, and its the most oddball genre of a series than genre hops as much as this knr.<br><br>When I first bought this, I actually beamed it up among the first, getting the itch. I closed it out a few months later after I fucked up placing my fist building.<br><br>I came back to it after beating Dig 2 and Heist 1 and I am glad I did. The two parallel sum games is an interesting hook and the difficulty and pace are such that I was actually able to get through the story campaign. <br><br>The city builder on the surface has clearly defined build trees and the necessities of roads to connect everything make a city shaped structure to the whole ordeal. At the end I was zooming around looking for something and was struck by how much my city had grown and how city-like it was.<br>Below, in the mines is a more straightforward rts. Dig out walls, place structure boundaries, gather resources and make the gathering faster, defend the base, etc. The paring helps in letting you switch out if one becomes boring imo.<br><br>The story is pretty bog standard. That it parallels Dig 2's plot timewise does help as it gives a new perspective to the same developments. Its also short, just a handful of hours. There is plenty to do outside of the campaign though as there are a half dozen map styles. The English voice acting is good as well. <br><br>One thing of note that I'll point out is that it has excellent console controls. I've played command & conquer 64 and Halo Wars and these are by far the best. Pretty smooth and intuitive. And where they fall short of a Ouse, accordances have been made. Like being able to move buildings for free. <br><br>All in all, not the best SteamWorld game, but enjoyable all the same. I might recommend/gift it to my first who likes sim games.

In SteamWorld Heist II, sometimes explosive ammo takes care of the enemies before it actually explodes. In other words, it's 4 bots versus 1 canon ball.

SteamWorld Heist II loves solo missions. We had two Rattler brothers versus one Sola. They were no match for this lone Steambot.

Part 3-2 of our SteamWorld Heist II livestream is now on YouTube. Our exploration of Arctica continues. We just need to steal five invitation from the Rattlers to get into a Parley. Should be easier than stealing water from a baby Steambot.

SteamWorld Heist II (Switch): COMPLETED!

It may have taken a while for me to finally get round to playing SteamWorld Heist II, but when it – and all the other SteamWorld games – were reduced in a massive eShop sale I was reminded it was the only SW game I hadn’t completed. And now, it isn’t.

Like the first game, it’s a 2D, side-on, turn based strategy game. In that respect it’s more of the same as the original, and I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to figure out what that means in terms of gameplay as the internet surely can provide. What I will talk about instead, is just how good and well balanced it all is.

Each character in your party can have different classes, weapons and skills (and you can switch between missions as to what, if you like, and “borrow” skills from other classes with the right items as well) so your team is incredibly customisable. Sometimes, it’s good to have a few short-range but powerful weapons, other times sniping with accuracy from a distance. Or maybe being able to move further, or move twice, in a turn is helpful. There’s tradeoffs between sniping being great from a log way off but you waste a turn reloading, or big explody weapons dealing lots of damage to several clustered enemies, but it’s a bit hard to aim and can damage you, or your cover. There’s a lot to think about! As characters level up you get to choose more skills too.

It’s also really addictive. Most missions are probably only 15-20 minutes long, so the urge to do just one more mission is strong. Or, you missed out some (probably unnecessary) loot in a level, so you replay it just to make sure you’ve collected everything. Or, you boat around the overworld seeking things to destroy for other bonuses and see another thing to get, explore, or beat on the map somewhere. There’s always one more thing to do.

Oh yes, the boat. You see, you have a submarine to traverse the world, and as you progress you can upgrade it with better firepower or more oxygen for underwater boating. The seas are full of enemies that need to be run from, or defeated, for fun and profit.

There’s a lot to the game but the real pull isn’t the excellent gameplay, it’s the (as always) perfectly crafted SteamWorld, er, world. The humour, the silly robot characters, the puns, and the references to other games in the series. Plus the excellent gameplay, of course.
