SteamWorld Heist

Very, Very, Adictive and more Fun!

This is one of few games i have not gotten bored by before finishing in years, other games i can think of is x-com enemy unknown and Banner saga, it is a fun quirky squad based game you really should try if you like turn based games!

I found it cute and sometimes fun, but often repetitive and clunky. I tried upping the difficulty and running meme teams (like maximum explosives teams), but then I discovered that failing a mission costs your half of your saved money 😠. Even if a mission is successful, any characters that die get no XP 😐. To me, that's anti-fun, slowing me down from getting interesting new characters and weapons and abilities 😒. The alternatives to this occasional disappointment and frustration (and prevention of fun) are: 1. Play on medium difficulty where success is nearly guaranteed (un-fun 😴) 2. Never use goofy team comps, just stick to repetitive whatever works (un-fun 😴) 3. Grind to get that money back (un-fun😴) 4. Eschew risky or difficult shots and play conservatively (un-fun😴) I would like to hear the devs explain why they penalize bored players for failing by reducing their excitement and gimping their team advancement 🤨

Turn based tactics in a 2d plane with gunslinger combat that does not rely on a % chance to hit but how good you are at aiming. The game is kind of fun at first, but soon enough they start throwing enemies that double your characters in health points so is a huge drain in time and resources trying to kill just one enemy , and since your aim sways you'll find yourself often missing enemies by an inch, it doesn't help that every action is a commitment, you cannot cancel moves and if you want to restart a mission you'll have to pay for it as if it was a failed mission, all in all, it has interesting ideas, but for me it became an exercise in frustration. Not really sure I'd recommend it, maybe if you are familiar with oother games that has the same mechanics, it is the first time for me and I'm not really impressed.
