It achieved everything it was aiming for, to create an enjoyable 2D tacictal RPG à la XCOM in the SteamWorld universe.
   TRPG often tend to be repetitive, and filled with grind (FE:Awakening). However, like XCOM, SteamWorld Heist is neither of that.
   Though the story itself is quite straightforward, the background of the game benefits from a fantastic soundtrack, engaging graphics and funny characters.
   This game is definitely a must have for every 3DS owner.… Expand

I don't play a lot of games like this, so it's hard for me to make a comparison, but the gameplay is similar to Worms. You move your character, you choose your weapon or action, and try to take a shot on the enemy team.
   
   The loot you can acquire in this game, coupled with the leveling and acquisition of new team members makes progression feel really rewarding. If you're into collecting things other than tactical weapons, you can shoot the hats off of enemy scrappers and wear those on each of your missions.
   
   SteamWorld Dig is a good game. But this is the deeper and more interesting game, by far, and almost makes their first game look shallow by comparison.
   
   It's also a beautiful game. The environments are rusty, but the characters are well animated and the backgrounds are really detailed. I hope this game isn't overlooked because it really is fantastic.… Expand

   I really liked a first game (Steamworld: Dig), even though I'm not a huge fan of "dig stuff, find gems" type of games. So picking up this oneI really liked a first game (Steamworld: Dig), even though I'm not a huge fan of "dig stuff, find gems" type of games. So picking up this one was a no-brainer. I was slightly surprised that the genre changed, but this was a good kind of a surprise!
   
   This game is absolutely fabulous in terms of visuals, gameplay and world/story. Detailed tactically developed levels(randomish generated, but with a very thought through generator) and variety of tactical decisions, robust character roster, and interesting and involving RPG elements. This is one of the best games on 3DS with was not developed by Nintendo or nintendo affiliated developers.
   
   This is an absolutely must have game for every owner of a 3DS nintendo system.… Expand

It makes me think that the creators of the game played Codename Steam and said "how can we make that game more streamlined, engaging and accesible." The graphics are crisp and fresh. The characters are diverse and their various class skills (which level up with XP) add depth to the combat (which feels fair and challenging). The combat itself is very easy to grasp but as you progress through the game you gain new weapons the combat becomes more nuanced and allows you to play the way you want to.
   
   I don't know why there would be negative reviews (unless someone simply doesn't like the strategy genre). The game excutes very well at what it intended to do. Enjoy!… Expand

This is one of those games that you play slowly to savor every aspect of the game, -not wanting to go through it too quickly as you want the magic to last for a long time.
   
   Graphics: Excellent! -just stunning
   Sound: I love the way the robots speak, -turn your speakers up loud.
   Gameplay: Challenging, yet not frustrating. Fun, addictive.
   
   Really my only negative of this game is that there isn't a sequel out! I love this one, -I really wish that it was offered as a physical cartridge, as I do like collecting physical game copies.… Expand
