Feb 5, 2018I was eagerly anticipating this game after being introduced to the Steamworld franchise with Steamworld Dig 2. I’ve always loved strategy games and this one surpassed my expectations. With difficulty settings to suit the veteran gamer or newcomer and amazing characters and story!
I would love a sequel to this game honestly! -

May 5, 2018Ok game, but feels a bit repetitive after a while. You're doing the same things over and over with no big change and nothing to discover, and in comparison, I enjoyed more Mario and rabbids kingdom (unfair comparison), which at least has a fun theme and 2D tactical move.

Jan 9, 2021Did I play a different game? This game is so unmemorable and impossible to come back and play between playing other, actually fun, games.

Jul 2, 2020Amazing game! Simple, addictive, interesting, hard (but fair), with good humor and nice graphics.

Mar 21, 2021This is one of my favorite games ever. I don’t like all turn based games but this added just enough interaction for easy move.

Mar 11, 2020Really awesome game. I wish it was just a bit longer, the Vectron saga left me wishing for more!
-
Mar 5, 2020Considering it a 5 bucks independent game, it's a very solid turn based tactical. The story is very light but the gameplay is fun and the areas are randomly generater, allowing some kind of replayability.

Jun 30, 2020At first I was not sure if I would enjoy it. Turns out I did and it was one of the best turn based RPGs I have ever played. Amazing (and brutally hard towards the end) game.

May 1, 2020All a surprise that I did not know. This turn-based RPG is impressive in its artistic and playable section. Long, challenging and packed with content. Required for those with a switch.

Aug 13, 2021I was completely blown away by this game. I did not expect it to be this good or addictive. I completed it in roughly 20 hours, over the best part of a weekend - I simply couldn't put it down. The core gamplay is excellent, and the loop of gathering materials and upgrading your gear is highly addictive. I loved this to bits and only wish it was twice as long!

Sep 11, 2020Solid fun strategy game with a cool style. It's repetitive, but still fun. I could list some minor critiques, but overall it's a good game, worth buying and playing

Mar 17, 2022A very fun system. It ended getting a bit repetitive for me and the story wasnt enough to keep me engaged, but it doesnt take away from the great turn based system that is present here.
-
Jul 25, 2021Worth to lay your hands on. The graphics and gameplay is *enjoyyyy* from the first sec in beginning.
-
Nov 18, 2022You can perfectly take a screenshot from this game, frame it and there you have it, a pretty thing to put on your wall. Other than that, there is the addicting gameplay and beautiful soundtrack especially the songs made by Steam Powered Giraffe.
-
Jan 2, 2022A turn-based strategy side-scroller with a unique premise and wonderful aesthetic. Definitely recommended!
-
Dec 5, 2021Really fun, cross between Xcom and Worms maybe? It's unique but it works. Gets a bit samey after a while sadly.
-
Jan 30, 2022Great game. If you like tactical games this is a must play for the price. Cool idea with manual aiming in a turn-based game. I don't like inventory management in this game.
-
Nov 11, 2022A very fun strategy game with some very enjoyable writing and art. You can make your from a large array of characters and learn more about them the more you use them.

Nintendo Force MagazineFeb 26, 2018If you missed it the first time around, the Switch is a great place to play this truly fantastic game. [Issue #32 – March/April 2018, p. 20]

Feb 20, 2018Steamworld Heist maintains the wit, charm, and humour found in the mainline 'Dig' series, swapping spades and shovels for some satisfyingly addictive turn-based action that both newcomers and veterans will enjoy.

Jan 25, 2018SteamWorld Heist is a phenomenal addition to the Switch library. Its story might not be the most gripping of tales, but its deep and varied combat ensures that players will come back to it time and time again to test their wits and take on more challenging difficulties. Clocking in at around 15 hours, there's also quite a lot of bang for your buck to go around. It might be a spinoff and a port, but for those interested in a deep yet accessible SRPG that you can take on the go, SteamWorld Heist deserves to be on your radar.
