radiofloyd Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Steamworld Heist is a game that’s out on everything. It was initially released on 3DS in 2015, and I’ve played it for a couple of hours on Switch. It’s a fun turn-based space faring rpg with an eye-catching visual style. Battles take place inside ships and the ship layouts are randomised. Missions are selected from a node-based map. I’ve been playing on the default “Experienced” difficulty and it seems like a reasonable challenge. I’ve had a couple of characters die during missions. When a character dies they don’t receive experience for that mission but they are resurrected when the mission is over. The game has all the features that you would expect from the genre - special abilities, equipment, loot, new characters to recruit - but it’s the visual style and the ricocheting of bullets (as you can see in the picture) that makes it unique and fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRKN Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Heist is fantastic, I think it's one of the best games in the genre! Well worth anyone with any interest in it playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Bought this on the Switch sale, for less than £5 and it's an absolute steal. I've only done about a dozen missions, albeit I redid earlier ones to gain exp for the new characters I picked up, and 3 hours just flashed by. Highly recommended.

DANGERMAN Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm surprised this thread didn't have more posts in it, a few of us played it. I liked Heist quite a bit but the same as all the Steamworld games, there's something about them that just doesn't quite click with me to make me really love it. It's definitely worth playing though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Now completed 8 hrs and (fortunately) no sign of the end yet, so much longer than I'd anticipated, and still great fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinymcshine Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Finished, then started again (through the black hole) as I enjoyed it so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRKN Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Glad you enjoyed it! I've not done a replay myself - do you carry anything over into a NG+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have all the crew that you've picked up, but they all start again from Lv 0 with no items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
