SteamWorld Heist Reviews
Imagine & Form proved themselves to be formidable developers with the release of SteamWorld Dig, but SteamWorld Heist just takes it to another level in so many ways. It's simple yet ambitious with a presentation as charming as its execution.
SteamWorld Heist might be small, yet it can compete with heavy weights like Fire Emblem in terms of overall quality. SteamWorld Heist is one of the most well thought-out and fully realized gaming experiences I've had throughout this year. If you're itching for a fantastic turn-based space adventure, look no further.
SteamWorld Heist exudes charm and goodwill.
SteamWorld Heist is another gem. The universe and its inhabitants are joyful to play with and kept me coming back for more. Image & Form took a bold step by not opting for the easy route, instead choosing to expand on an already interesting theme. Heist is as good as any full priced 3DS game out there; and in most cases, even better. With hours and hours of gameplay, it's a steal at just $16.99.
Despite the SteamWorld Heist's shortcomings when it comes to mission failure and inventory management, the game is a blast. As a lover of turn-based tactics games, SteamWorld Heist scratched that itch, offering just enough depth and strategy bundled up in a charming game. Difficulty scales rather nicely and you can always adjust it, which means the game is very accessible to everyone.
SteamWorld Heist snuck onto the 3DS eShop earlier this month, without much fanfare or discussion. But SteamWorld Heist might be the best tactical strategy game to grace the platform in 2015.
SteamWorld Heist is a fantastic strategy game that you will not want to miss, featuring amazing combat will keep you coming back.
Great, and not just "for an indie studio"
Image & Form should be commended for rewarding players seeking a challenge without penalizing those just looking for a good time
A unique take on the turn based shooter, and a fun character-driven space adventure.
Tense combat, complex mechanics, and witty dialogue make this 2D turn-based strategy game an unexpected but worthwhile successor to 2013's SteamWorld Dig.
SteamWorld Heist's mash-up of action and turn-based strategy makes for a deeply satisfying experience that feels like it's over a touch too soon.
SteamWorld Heist is one of the most charming, playful, glorious games you will play this year and cannot come recommended enough. Go on, treat yourself.
SteamWorld Heist is an amazing, brave and ambitious indirect sequel that keeps true to the SteamWorld universe.
I thoroughly recommend it, for those looking for something erring much more toward the more casual end of the strategy world, the only region of the genre with which I'm comfortable. It's bright, breezy, light and fun, and perhaps, after all, that's enough.
Complaints aside, SteamWorld Heist is a must-buy title for anyone looking for an enjoyable strategy game set in an endearing world.
SteamWorld Heist's excellence permeates through every aspect of the game, and the translation from 3DS to PC and PlayStation 4 is nothing short of exemplary. The aiming mechanic for ricochets or headshots is so satisfying. SteamWorld Heist is a masterclass in turn-based strategy with RPG stylings making it a standout on platforms to display this at higher resolutions. Whether you're looking for a casual introduction to the genre or a crushing challenge for veterans, SteamWorld Heist offers both in truly stellar ways.
Seeing as how every level is randomly generated there could be a lot more to offer than the meandering and side-questing that is there.
It didn't seem this way at first, but ImageForm proved Steamworld Heist to be the next logical step after Steamworld Dig. On top of fabulous gameplay and overall intuitiveness, it grasps a personality some other indie games could only dream of. Just get ready for a fun space challenge.
