SteamWorld Heist

(micro-review)

Genre: Turn Based Strategy;

Release date: 07-Jun-2016 ;

Overview:

From the makers of SteamWorld Dig:

In SteamWorld Heist, you command a steam-driven pirate crew in a series of epic tactical shootouts. It’s turn-based strategy with a twist: You manually aim the guns of your robots, allowing for insane skill shots and bullet-bouncing action!

As the captain you will board, loot and shoot your way through enemy spaceships. Overcome the challenges of the vast frontier by upgrading your recruits with unique abilities, weapons – and even stylish hats!

Features:

Strategy focused on skill rather than chance
 Procedurally generated levels
15-20 hours of playtime, followed by New Game+
Kind to newcomers, deep and challenging for veterans
Soundtrack by Steam Powered Giraffe

This is a solid casual game. I call this game casual because it's not too challenging and it's not too complex either; it's just very fun to play. Everything this game offers is at least good. I especially loved the art style and soundtrack. The shooting mechanics and the tactical depth, albeit relatively simple, they work very well in this context.

Rating: nuts and bolts.
