SteamWorld Dig

Steamworld Dig is a bit like a cross between Motherlode, Spelunky and a metroidvania. Motherlode because the game owes a lot to the concept of digging down into the earth, mining minerals and then selling them on the surface for gold to buy upgrades, which then enable you to dig deeper, take on more enemies etc. Spelunky because the main levels are procedurally generated, and the general feel of your character is quite similar to Spelunky (so much so that playing one after the other causes quite a bit of confusing pressing the wrong buttons!). Metroidvania because there are various caves that are set puzzles scattered throughout the main mine shafts, and completing them gives you upgrades that allow access to previously inaccessible areas. It's a compelling formula polished to a fine sheen here. There's a lot more depth (ho ho) to this game than first appears. I definitely dug it. In fact I'd say it's oresome. Ok, ok, I'll stop.

very unique metroidvania.

this game satisfies my closeted fantasy of being a coal mining steam powered robot cowboy. love it. final boss was challenging asf but fun as hell, overall way better than what i expected.

Hat mehr Spaß gemacht als ich gedacht hatte. Top Welt, Spielidee und Design. SteamWorld Dig spielt sich perfekt mit einem Controller und macht immer neugierig auf mehr. Leider ist die Spieldauer nicht so lange, mit ca. 4-5 Stunden. Alle Errungenschaften erfordern noch mehr Zeit. 

Игра шикарная, простая и понятная, не душит, не заставляет в гринд, без микротранзакций и прочей шелухи, хороший инди проект возвращающий к временам бума флеш игр, короче 10/10

[h1] PROS: [/h1] [list] [*] It's incredible how smooth and well optimized it is for such an old game. [*] Stunning graphics and a beautiful art style that still holds up today. [*] If you enjoy digging and exploring, you're in for a treat. [*] Upgrades gradually make your life easier and help keep the progression satisfying, especially since the gameplay can become repetitive after a while. [*] Additional challenges such as speed runs, no death runs, and other achievements add replay value. [*] I liked the fact that you can run out of light/water etc. [*] The soundtrack is fantastic and does a great job of creating an immersive atmosphere. [/list] [h1] CONS: [/h1] [list] [*] The gameplay loop can become repetitive and boring for some players. [*] Certain platforming sections and jumps can feel awkward, especially if you haven't unlocked key upgrades like the double jump. [*] Aside from the final boss, there aren't many true Metroidvania elements despite the game often being associated with the genre? [*] Combat and puzzles are fairly basic and never evolve into anything particularly deep or challenging. [/list] [h1] OVERALL: [/h1] A fun and charming classic that combines exploration, resource management, and progression into an addictive gameplay loop. The atmosphere, visuals, and soundtrack are easily its strongest qualities, while the steady stream of upgrades keeps exploration rewarding. However, the repetitive nature of digging and the simplistic combat may not appeal to everyone. If you enjoy relaxing exploration focused games and don't mind some repetition, this is definitely worth checking out. Just don't expect a deep Metroidvania experience.

7/10

Curioso juego, estuvo entretenido gg

A nice game to while away some time, but in the end, it gets too repetetive to bear with the frequent crashes on macOS.
