60 of 142 · most liked firstlast time I talked about gaming on here lots of people complained about recent games being too long and faffy so in this spirit: would recommend Steamworld Heist! v fun little turn-based combat game, pretty short and every fight is self-contained and at most ten minutes long

unlabelledView post →That's Steamworld Heist 2 wrapped up. It's a surprisingly meaty game, it took me 40+hours doing most of the stuff, but I could have squeezed out more easily. It was fun all throughout I'd say, it could get frustrating but never too much. I highly recommend it. #blutoid #SteamWorldHeist2 #thunderful

unlabelledView post →SteamWorld Heist II is a great sequel. The first game was perfect for me, and I didn't see how they could add something new without ruining it. Turns out they nailed it: pirates on the high seas, plus more characters, weapons, and objects #indiegame #indiedev

Did they enjoy it as much as other games in the series? Link: forum.giantbomb.com/topic/528/wh... #game #gaming #streamworld #indiegame #giantbomb
unlabelledView post →Alright, I need a new game to play. Give me recs! Stuff I have enjoyed lately: Ball X Pit, Steamworld Heist, Vampire Survivor, Children of Morta, Wanderstop, Thank Goodness You're Here, Split Fiction, The Stanley Parable, Earth Defense Force 6 (I'm aware these are all very different..)
unlabelledView post →Since everyone else is sharing, here are my Nintendo stats for the year! And real-talk, the genre stat is borked. I put a good 40-50 hours into Fire Emblem GBA and Steamworld Heist, so strategy should be a lot higher than 3%. And I'm guessing Shooting is as high as it is because of Splatoon 3.
unlabelledView post →SteamWorld Heist is one of those turn-based games I always come back to. Aiming your shots manually makes every turn feel like a mini adventure. And come on, it's robots in space with guns. What more do you need? Definitely my favorite in the series #indiegame #indiedev
unlabelledView post →UFO 50 (I can do a top 5 list for this game lmao) Steamworld Heist 2 I am your beast Crow Country Banana Rumble Honorable mentions Arzette Infinity Nikki (would make main list if it wasn't gacha) Survey Scramble Animal Well (I havent finished it yet) Balatro (Most played of the year) Fort Festival

unlabelledView post →Those were some wild rides, huh? Denshattack is a game that also starts at full speed. Can't wait to see how much crazier it gets :o Next stream is SteamWorld Heist II on Friday :) #VTuber #ENVTuber
unlabelledView post →#justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social Steamworld Heist - This is a turn based tactical game with the Steamworld humor and aesthetic. It was a good short game - maybe 6-8 hours, at most. I can’t say it amazed me, but it was fun enough to finish without complaint. 7.75/10
unlabelledView post →The stream is over. We actually managed to beat Strider thanks to the power of save states, and dropping the game to easy difficulty. We'll be back on Saturday with more SteamWorld Heist II. We raided @popecorkyix.bsky.social who's playing Resident Evil 4. Check him out: www.twitch.tv/popecorkyix
unlabelledView post →next one on the list for my @backlog-busters.bsky.social - BingoCard - Steamworld Heist for the square "game with a military setting. Nine years old, but i never played it.

unlabelledView post →only game i picked up from steam sale was Steamworld Heist 2 since i somehow got it for less than nine bucks due to combo deal trickery, love it loved the first one, enjoyed most steamworld games except build which felt like simcity for babies and quest which didn't quite nail the card mechanics
unlabelledView post →I am in a gaming funk! Right now it's been 99 days since I last completed a game. Since I started tracking in Jan 2013, there is only one period of time that was longer. It was when I completed Puzzle & Dragons (Mario Edition) on July 27th, 2015 and then SteamWorld Heist on Dec 9th, 2015. 135 days.
unlabelledView post →Dang, I dunno, this game may be the *wrong kind of hard* for me. Unforgiving and always on the brink of having to start all the way over. Can somebody just make Mario + Rabbids 3 or Steamworld Heist 3 plz thx
unlabelledView post →Staggeringly generous and deeply accurate review of SteamWorld Heist II that does justice to the ground-breaking, envelope-pushing triumph of creativity and craft that this game truly is: thebesties.substack.com/p/a-heist-ga... The Besties nailed it!
unlabelledView post →what's funny RE: vidya game radicalization and dead evil guy is that I just started playing Steamworld Heist II, where you fight an oppressive regime that thinks themselves just better people than everyone else while relentlessly stealing/hoarding everything it can while ignoring climate catastrophe

unlabelledView post →Finished up Steamworld Heist 2 and its a great game. Meaty at 30h length, builds and expands upon the first, more @steampoweredgiraffe.com. Had tons of fun with the Brawler charging everything and being unscrappable. Buff sniper. Make Quincy playable. That's my review.
unlabelledView post →Steamworld Heist A pretty fun trick shot strategy game! I'm not familiar with the genre but this feels like a very accessible entry point bc of that. The robots are all really fun too, this one's for my past self who got real excited abt the soundtrack and then never played the game til 2024
unlabelledView post →My friends in the SteamWorld Heist II team got nominated for an Indie Game Award!! congrats!
unlabelledView post →And that is the story of how Piper and her crew saved the universe. I can see why SteamWorld Heist is so well-regarded now. Beyond the 2D perspective lies a deep tactics game. So glad I played it. Be back on Sunday for Halls of Torment :) #VTuber #ENVTuber

unlabelledView post →well, Steamworld Heist snatched me from the first few minutes. A steampunk tactics game that uses gameplay elements from Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-move ? I'm in!
unlabelledView post →We're finishing Steamworld Heist 2 today, on Day 6 of the Decent Into Madness Streamathon! After we finish this game, I've got a cool announcement to make! www.twitch.tv/void_king_of...
unlabelledView post →Turn based strategy is another one that's difficult I think. You can reduce enemy health on Easy (Steamworld Heist does) but at the end of the day, you can either make the shot or you can't. But it's notable that we're talking about very specific and arguably niche game genres.
unlabelledView post →I grabbed a physical PS4 that has the first game and SteamWorld Heist on it. It was a good time! Plan to try Heist too at some point too.
unlabelledView post →- apparently SteamWorld Dig 2 continues to SteamWorld Heist but it got me less hooked since the gameplay itself changes from platformer into turn-based. i havent finished this game, though

unlabelledView post →If you're not familiar with SteamWorld Heist, highly recommend this video from a few years back about the original. Now imagine that but with an FF-style job system, much more diverse levels and enemies, and a light Vampire Survivors mini game layer. youtu.be/ABLgkooVv8s
