Steamworld Dig 2
Games You (Probably) Missed Out on in September 2017
SteamWorld Dig 2 has finally arrived. Debuting on the Switch on Sept. 21, the Metroidvania-cross-platformer puts players in the shoes of a steambot named Dorothy who must dig deep, grab treasures, defeat any enemies that may try and stand in her way, and sell her treasures back above ground. It takes the first title’s excellent gameplay formula and builds upon it with a number of improvements and tweaks.
No longer is the world procedurally-generated, making your experience entirely different to anyone else’s. Instead, Image and Form has clearly spent a ton of time detailing the world of SteamWorld Dig 2, ensuring it’s a joy to explore and gawk at. Each cave has some really cool secrets tucked away and enemies will always be waiting to catch you off-guard.
Ensuring that the gameplay feels fresh, SteamWorld Dig 2 introduces an upgrade system that allows you to make Dorothy fit your play style better. There are also Cog Mods which take this one step further allowing you to spec and respec Dorothy until she’s perfect for how you play. Though it may lose its steam (no pun intended) once its campaign draws to an end, this charming indie is still well worth checking out.
