We’re digging SteamWorld Build’s multi-layered city-building after playing a slice of it at GDC.
What I’ve always appreciated about the SteamWorld series is its unwillingness to settle. Rather than taking one successful idea and running it into the ground, almost every game runs in an entirely different direction. SteamWorld Dig is a modern twist on Dig Dug, SteamWorld Heist is a stylish turn-based strategy game, and SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech goes truly left field with a card-based mecha-fantasy RPG.
Related Videos Under the surface When my demo begins, I think I have a full grasp of what’s happening in SteamWorld Build pretty quickly. I start by building a stretch of road branching off a train station and placing some buildings alongside it. Residencies give me access to workers who can, in turn, build structures like sawmills and cactus farms to harvest resources. Those resources go back into town building as I create even more structures and fulfill worker demands to keep everyone happy.
Just as I’m getting the hang of that, I’m sent even farther forward in the game, where things are notably more complex. Now I’m managing a second underground mine below the first one, constructing support pillars to avoid cave-ins. I also bump into monster hives down here, which constantly churn out bugs that can destroy my carefully engineered operation. To combat them, I can build stationary weapons that’ll auto-attack any creatures, as well as equip combat units with some tools.
