My first Steam World game. And I feel like I have been missing out. I'm not sure if this is the best of them but it is incredible and I am absolutely going to keep playing it. I cannot stand having a bot go down on a mission. Minus a star? Not on my watch. Time to try again.

Having played numerous Tactical strategy games before (and games of all sorts) since forever, I said confidently that Steamworld Heist was one of the top 5 games of all time. Playing this game on a couch with friends was a complete blast and everything. This is the only strategy game that's really worth it playing with other people, since the human behind the controller is doing the aiming and the shooting. Anyways, they somehow made that game better. Now there's a job system and stuff (the possibilities!!). And you can edit the 10+ difficulty settings, and set them to your liking. I really liked the attention of letting us set all the settings one notch over "hardest" (elite) if we really want to (and we do). I will say that there's a little issue with the game, where navigating the submarine each day (altho it is mostly optional) is tedious if you go for all the medals. Excellent game designer Loren Lemcke said this week on his Discord "It's kind of a gamedev joke that you often have to design the game to stop people from intentionally ruining their own experience with the game." Well, we are greedy, and it takes a lot of time to get all the loot, accross all the map. While we do that, we don't enjoy as much the game, I guess. Otherwise, this game is a gem like few others exist out there.

SteamWorld Heist 2 is a sequel that maintains the spirit of its predecessor while keeping things interesting with several new mechanics. As with the first game, there's a great variety of playable characters, items, enemies, and procedurally generated levels to enjoy. I have no complaints in this department and was genuinely having a blast the whole way through. I recommend watching the gameplay deep-dive trailer on the Steam store page if you haven't already, but I'll summarise the two biggest additions and give my opinions. Firstly, players now pilot a ship around the waters of an interactive world map, rather than just navigating a web of missions. The real-time naval components quite nicely break up the methodical turn-based combat of missions. Naval exploration is frequently rewarded with loot spread around the map. Players are also encouraged with loot to face dangerous gauntlets and powerful enemy ships. The second big addition is that every playable character now has access to every class. Crewmates can use abilities across various classes through a refundable resource called cogs. This allows for in-depth character builds that weren't possible in the first game. Each crewmate also has two unique abilities, which adds further build complexity and prevents them from feeling samey. Music in the SteamWorld franchise has always been solid, but this game bumped it up a notch. The tunes would get stuck in my head, and I would end up unconsciously singing lines while preparing my crewmates for a mission. The music also helps communicate the themes of the game's narrative, which I think was done well for the most part. I loved the way the Kraken and Krakenbane were built up throughout the game as almost mythical entities, and they served the story well. I never became attached to one of the other central characters (which I will not name to avoid spoilers), but this might just be because they did not get as much time to receive character development. I'm largely pleased with the art direction and sound design, though I'm specifically a bit disappointed with the UI components. The first Heist game had very juicy tactile interactions with the UI that utilised incredible sound effects and visuals that truly stood out. The UI components in this game aren't bad, but they just feel like a step back from Heist 1 both on a visual and audio level. The good news is that this is my biggest complaint, and I got over it pretty quickly. SteamWorld Heist 2 is a sequel that evolved the mechanics of an already mechanically elite game. If you like turn-based strategies, you should buy SteamWorld Heist 1, and you most definitely should buy SteamWorld Heist 2. 9.5/10

More of what made the first game so good but also more of other mechanics which depending on your slant you might enjoy even more or not so much since it can get in the way of the tactical turn based gameplay in ways you might find annoying especially over time. The game also doesn't let you zoom out and the default zoom in the battle tactics mode is basically tuned for handheld gaming for like the switch or steam deck. Aiming can get pretty annoying due to having to scroll all over the place to see if the angles are possible or not on your snipe shots. Having said that the game is pretty good and fun and the navigating, exploration and combat on the seamap is great... it can just feel like a timewaster if you're moving from one end to the map to the other since there's no fast travel. Seems like the devs quit supporting the game less than two months after release and its obvious that the game needed some more QoL improvements plus bug fixing (certain items don't stack their effects while most do for instance). Don't think we'll get any more steamworld games anytime soon due to the publisher terminating their development team and the game could have used a good expansion to further elaborate on the meat of the game, the great tactical combat, but what we got here is still really good and quite unique. With any luck we'll get an indy developer or two making more 'heist-like' games... it's a very fun and satisfying gameplay loop to engage with.

At the start of the game i felt it was a bit overly complex compared to 1 but by the end I came around and you get absolutely overpowered by mastering multiple classes, almost to a fault. Hopefully the next game cuts the sub combat, wasnt big on it but it was pretty harmless. Absolutely worth a buy if you liked 1 and want some more complexity, and super fun even if you dont get 1 first. Often goes on sale insanely cheap!
