SteamWorld Heist

I got this game for free and thought I'd give it a go. The theme and art style did not appeal to me, and I thought I'd likely uninstall it after a few minutes... but it captured me right away. Great little side-scrolling XCOMish type combat is addictive...its very easy to play longer than is healthy for family life. The only thing I don't like about it is that many of the missions only let you have two or three teammates, which is lame because a lot of crewmates never get used. But that has not detracted very much from the overall fun.

Had a great time playing this game. Great setting and the difficulty is just the right amount. Played at regular for most of the game, and switched over to casual at around the end. Would love to do another run, with a different challenge setting! The world building is amazing and the characters are memorable. Looking forward to part 2.

good but not great

It's a bit unusual, but after a few levels you'll love it.

Seriously, everything I've played from the Steamworld series is absolute perfection. It makes me wish that these 8 hr games were 60 hrs long and boring grindy 60 hr games were 8 hrs long.
