Hard to part weapons when inventory limits reached, odd sense of wanting to keep rare weapons even if they were inferior, wish there was a place to store them permanently. As such, you’ll be managing an inventory and loadouts. No death is permanent, but they lose out on XP earned from the mission if completed with the remaining robots. Robots don’t die, they rebuild.Īll the robots are steam-powered, so loot is just water, and is key to survival and is the currency for buying weapons, gear, and hats. Some missions have endless units spewing out of every doorway, so there’s no point in fighting them as the XP doled out is a set number. SteamWorld Heist‘s XCOM-like movement outshines XCOM 2 in ways I didn’t think it would – everything from its visual representation to the quickness of the gameplay just feels fast and fluid.

When not in a mission, you are able to free roam in real-time aboard your ship or when at outposts and bars. You can even perform skill shots by ricocheting shots off of walls, ceilings, and floors to get the kill. The twist here, is that the gameplay is all skill-based, rather than the roll of a dice. This is a game that’s played like a sidescroller, but is done with 2D turn-based strategy. You’ll be ship-boarding and stealing high-value loot from either of the enemy factions, despite being the good guys – the Firefly influences continue. As you progress, you’ll have opportunities to hire extra help, rescue those who become part of your crew, or recruit new members through other means to join you on your ship. You have your pilot of your ship, Wonky by your side, who might as well be Wash from Firefly. SteamWorld Heist will have you assembling a menagerie of characters to take control of, but you’ll mostly be playing as Captain Piper Faraday. As such, you are on the run from this oppression to become space robot pirates. And now, the Royalists and Scrappers are two different factions that have been overwhelming the galaxy. The game is set a few hundred years after SteamWorld Dig where Steambots have become more intelligent and have become space-faring. While the story is a bit shallow, the narrative thread is just enough to make it interesting.
SteamWorld Heist combines turn-based strategy, RPG, exploration, and even includes skill-based shots as part of its core gameplay to become one of the best games I’ve played this year. This game was first released on the Nintendo 3DS at the tail end last year, and I’m so glad it has made its way to platforms that can and does really put its beauty on display.
