Fortunately, a number of crew-mates are skilled with scoped weapons, making things a lot easier.Īs Piper explores space she’ll meet new recruits who can can be convinced to join her crew, either by paying them with moisture or simply by the renown you have gathered during your escapades. Combat outcomes aren’t determined by dice-rolls, so landing a critical hit is reliant on your ability to line your gun up with enemies, who are often at the other side of the screen. You’ll constantly be reshuffling your crew mid-combat, trying to keep everyone close enough to be healed by an area-of-effect skill, whilst keeping your sights trained carefully on your enemies. Overturned barrels provide essential cover, exposed walkways mean death, and standing at the top of ladders is never advised.
It’s a game all about playing the angles, both literally and figuratively. Steamworld Heist eats, breathes and perspires turn-based tactical shooting. These changes make Steamworld Heist a much more approachable game than its predecessor and you’ll also feel much more accomplishment from short play sessions, too. Procedural generation makes a return, but you’ll be playing within smaller confined spaces, although they are every bit as sophisticated as Dig’s labyrinths.
Tactical shooting has replaced Dig‘s slick metroidvania gameplay, meaning there’s less of a focus on exploration, with more attention being paid to Heist’s finely tuned combat. The destruction of Steamworld brings with it some exciting changes. With your crew mates by your side you’ll relinquish wandering scrapper ships of their moisture, collect enough hats to make Gabe Newell green with envy, and even commit regicide to prove you’re not to be scrapped with! You’re also no longer alone, with a capable and deadly crew at your disposal. This time around, instead of spending your time underground, you’ll visit different locations like bars, shops and scrapper hideouts in your trusty spaceship “Deja Vu”. The Scrappers, deranged robots thrown together from non-matching parts, and the snobbish royalist factions are out to cause trouble for other bots, with nothing but their own gain in mind. They’re not alone though, with two other factions occupying space and making life difficult for them. With Steamworld gone for good, Captain Piper Faraday and her crew have taken up a life of piracy to get by. Swap that pick-axe for a shotgun and fall in line soldier, for what’s sure to be an out of this world space opera of epic proportions. Boom, it’s gone! No, really, the Steamworld you knew and loved is gone forever – blown to bits, casting the Steambots to outer space in search of moisture, loot and more than a few gunfights. You can forget everything you knew about Steamworld. Steamworld Heist sets its sights to the stars. The sequel to 2013’s outstanding Steamworld Dig.
