Five minutes into a demo of SteamWorld Heist, and it’s difficult not to notice just how wildly different it feels from its predecessor. The first game, called SteamWorld Dig: A Fistful of Dirt, wove together ideas from arcade classics like Dig-Dug and Metroid. SteamWorld Heist keeps the Wild West aesthetic and tosses gameplay of the first game clear from the stagecoach to give us something different. It’s a turn-based strategy game that’s coming to all current-gen platforms (3DS, PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PSVita, Wii U, and Xbox one) this year starting in August.
Set a few hundred years in the future, you take control of a robot squad. CEO of developer Image & Form Brjann Sigurgeirsson tells me some bad stuff happened between the events of SteamWorld Dig and Heist that forces the Steambots into space. During the adventure, you’ll recruit other bots to join your squad mid-mission or inside intergalactic saloons. You’ll develop a team and choose between multiple classes, each with specific weapons and abilities.
