SteamWorld Heist is a game about space adventures and survival. Recruit a team of ragtag robots to explore and scavenge the remains of a destroyed world. Board enemy ships and command your crew in a unique variety of turn-based combat.Taking place some time after SteamWorld Dig, a cataclysmic event has shattered the planet and forced its population into steam-driven spaceships.
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!
It’s a robot-eat-robot world out there, and water is desperately hard to come by.
In addition to releasing on PS4 and Vita next week, developer Image & Form Games revealed that the PC version will be available on Steam that very same day.
"The Outsider" DLC pack (which adds new levels, hats, weapons and a playable character) will be available from day one on both Steam and PlayStation for $4.99 / €4.99 (or the equivalent).
