May 2025
A good game about space cowboys. The developers invested quite an effort to build a fictional world that combines SciFi aesthetics and cowboy spirit. You can also practice and experiment without consequences by adjusting difficulties for every stage. If you want to test what new recruits in your crew can do, just set the difficulty to the lowest and let them roll. If you want solid challenges to test your skills, set the difficulty level at the highest and see if you can survive. You have full control over each stage. Aside from that, it's pretty simple game. The plot is very typical of cowboy stories, protecting innocent citizens' properties by delivering justices to bandits, committing some treasonous acts out of arbitrary sense of justice, and cleaning up the mess that you brought upon the world through careless misjudgment: A typical chaotic good outlaws venturing through the space. It's so typical that the game would be actually quite valuable for people not familiar with cowboy stories for their education in the US culture, since you won't see many contents about cowboys these days if you are not from the USA, unless you intentionally dig into piles of classic American movies in search for cultural enlightenment. With the gameplay this solid, this game might as well be the most intuitive and accessible content to cowboy aesthetics for non-American people. Highly recommend this for gameplay and cultural exposure.

My first turn based hat collector Rating ★★★☆☆ I wasn't sure if i would like this, as i had previously played ''Sea of stars'' and decided these types of games were not my cup of tea, however after around an hour i began to enjoy myself and I'm already looking forward to SteamWorld Heist 2. You have multiple characters to play with (you unlock them as you progress) and each one can be levelled up to gain new perks and abilities. There's various different weapon types which add's lots of variety and team build combo's. The music is very charming and compliments the ''chill vibe'' of the game.

I bought this on sale, thinking it was just some goofy game I can play to kill time UNTIL I played it and it was awesome. I got invested in the game's story, it's really nice.

This game is a really fun turn-based tactical shooter. However, it falls apart at the higher difficulties due to the alarm mechanic which forces a slower turn based gameplay into a rush as more enemies pile in which can quickly overwhelm you. This is even worse towards the end of the game as you get enemies which can teleport and shoot on the same turn with two or three enemies spawning each turn. This game definitely rewards quicker strategy over slow turn based turtling combat like XCOM. The 100% for this is also really difficult with the whole game being required to be completed on the highest difficulty with no mission failures, all missions fully completed, and in 800 turns or less across the whole game.

Another great game from the Steamworld series. Heist is a tactical 2D turn-based RPG with manual aiming and plenty of different characters to play with. New abilities for each character are unlocked when they level up and you can find new weapons and equipment in stores or by collecting crates in each level. Most of the levels are random generated, and while the objectives could have used a bit more variation, the gameplay is so much fun that this game is a blast to finish. Very recommended!
