![]() It takes some moxie for that kind of thing and hats off to them for pulling it off. Instead of sticking with what they knew and had already learned they decided to take the series in a whole other direction and genre. It was definitely one of the things that impressed me with the developer Image & Form. Where you controlled a single bot and primarily worried about mining, this time you steal, shoot, and control a whole squad. ![]() Steamworld Heist on the other hand does a dramatic pivot from its predecessor. Aside from being an awesome action/platformer it also gives insights into why Earth explodes. If you’re unfamiliar with the universe of Steamworld, I highly recommend playing Steamworld Dig as that is a fantastic title all on its own. Thus the Firefly-esque adventure begins with you taking up the mantle of the common people and making off with some decent loot as a benefit. You play the captain of one these outlaw gangs and some bots begin to muscle in on your territory. Dealing with gangs, Royalists and all sorts of seedy characters. You play a rag tag group of outlaw steambots on the fringes of space. After the Earth exploded, bots began to mine moisture for survival. While the game does have an amazing opening sequence that sets the scene for you, I will do my best to explain the story. Pop culture references aside, Heist is a homage to westerns, just substitute horses with spaceships. All ya need is a bot with a hammer for a penis and you got Captain Malcolm Reynolds. Take some Firefly, throw in some XCOM, and heaping helping of steampunk whimsy and you have got yourself Steamworld Heist. Between Steamworld Heist and Steamworld Dig the question remains, what can’t these Steambots do?
