Bought it part of Islanders bundle without noticing turned out to be super fun and casual friendly with tutorials and fun ideas..
Cutes game with nice music, cute designe and a great story line. The game has easy game mechanics and is easy to get.
Балдёжная игрушка на несколько вечеров, спасибо разработчикам
SteamWorld Dig offers a simple yet highly addictive gameplay loop: you dig, gather resources, upgrade your equipment, and explore ever deeper underground. The steampunk atmosphere is charming, the progression feels rewarding, and the mechanics remain fun from start to finish. It's a shame the adventure is a bit short, but it leaves behind great memories. Recommended!
非常好玩,让人上头。缺点就是建筑多了分不清谁是谁,建筑物个性化不突出,但是这么便宜要啥自行车
Overall nice little game, quite easy relaxed playthrough. you can max out achievments in around 30 hours
[h1]It's Complicated[/h1] You should play this game only if you're a fan of the franchise; otherwise, there are better options out there. [h2]Mechanics[/h2] City building 6/10 Dungeon management 8/10 Tower defense 3/10 The best part of the game begins when you start exploring the mine. The dungeon management is peak gameplay. You have to manage your miners, turrets, infrastructure, and resources. On the other hand, the city-building aspect feels more like an absurd requirement to keep progressing through the story. First, you have to manage your workers, then the engineers, aristocrats, and finally scientists, each with more and more absurd requirements. When you reach the third floor of the mine, the game starts throwing waves of enemies at you, and you have to prepare your defenses to face them. However, the alerts the game uses are very annoying, and more than once they startled me while I was playing. The game only has four types of towers to defend your base, but I only used two of them because the game never forces you to think about other strategies. It's usually enough to just spam rocket towers. [h2]Dynamics[/h2] Progression 10/10 Exploration 10/10 Resource Management 7/10 Constraints 6/10 Exploration in the mines is great. You progressively unlock new areas to explore and gain resources that allow you to unlock new buildings and upgrades. The pacing of the progression is the best part of the game because it gives you only what you need at that moment to keep moving forward. [h2]Aesthetics[/h2] Narrative 5/10 Fantasy 10/10 Expression 3/10 Discovery 9/10 The story is almost what the game needs to be enjoyable. At times it is really boring, but in general it is one of the main reasons to keep playing. The characters are "meh"; it's hard to empathize with them. [spoiler]The final chapter feels like: "Okay, now he's dead... what else?"[/spoiler]
Une fusion astucieuse entre gestion de ville et exploration minière. Steamworld Build est un titre hyper accessible et ultra plaisant, même si les habitués du genre regretteront un sérieux manque de challenge stratégique.
Viciante igual droga, muito bom mas o end game dele acaba sendo só ter que esperar pra encher o foguete. Tirando isso, muito pika
Schöner Zeitvertreib.
