SteamWorld Heist 2 is out later this week and is the long-awaited follow-up to Image and Form’s 2015 turn-based side-scrolling strategy. A launch trailer is now available, highlighting the various accolades from critics. Check it out below.
While the first game had a space setting, SteamWorld Heist 2 opts for a vibrant, ocean-filled Shard. Unfortunately, something – or someone – is poisoning the water, causing Steambots to rust from its consumption. It’s up to the unlikely Captain Quincy Leeway to investigate while dealing with some confidence issues.
The tactical turn-based gameplay remains the same, with allies manually aiming their shots for maximum damage. However, you can now change crewmate’s Job by equipping different weapons, mixing and matching abilities to devastating effect. If that weren’t enough, an array of new hats is also available.
SteamWorld Heist 2 will be available for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch on August 8th. Check out our review, where we gave it an 8 out of 10.
