About
A digging adventure in a Steam-powered Frontier…
SteamWorld Dig is an action-adventure game that mixes exploration, puzzle-solving, and mining mechanics.
Set in a western steampunk-inspired world, you control a robot named Rusty, who embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets of a long-abandoned underground town. As you dig through the earth, you’ll gather resources like ores and gems, which can be used to upgrade your abilities and tools to help you go faster and deeper...
But don’t think it’ll be that easy! As you descend into the depths, you’ll encounter a variety of enemies, environmental hazards and puzzles that will put you and your trusty pick-axe to the test.
An underground world full of secrets, treasure and terror.
Captivating 2D hand-drawn environments.
Story-rich narrative with a colourful cast of characters.
Randomly generated and immersive mine maps.
Challenging and fun game-play.

有些不合理的设计非常影响体验。 首当其冲的就是梯子道具,只能带几个,使得在后期获得技能前很难挖头顶2格以上的矿,也不能在空中进行挖掘的动作。完全浪费一个可能的优秀道具;为什么回家不能补水,后期水池又很少,不仔细规划很容易出现下去就上不来的情况;还有就是补光的设定,地下灯笼不能补光,只能回地表;那个传送门不能多几个吗?或者可以相互传。 以上几条配合起来,后期下去后,水消耗没了,跳不上来,继续向下找水,然后补不了光,越来越难找,直接死局了。炸心态来了。
This feels like a garbage mobile port, UI looks bad, all the sounds get annoying over time and the gameplay doesn't feel good. - The gameplay feels both too short and drawn out tedious at the same time - The NPCs speech is like listening nails on a chalkboard - The options menu does not have a scroll bar and the mouse scroll wheel does not scroll, I had to search the internet to be told I need to CLICK AND DRAG to scroll or use the gamepad controller/arrows to tap down the menu, hence why I declared this as "garbage mobile port" or console game port - Wall jumping to climb back up is kinda miserable, I felt like I could develop Repetitive Stress Injury if I continued to play my usual long game sessions, so I split this game into shorter playtime chunks. - Balance is weird, some things upgrade far too little like inventory and light, I most often had full inventory slots and full lamp light or empty inventory and empty oil lamp light and had to return to base for both cases, and other uprades I barely upgraded when I had several tiers already available like water and drill that I barely used. - This review is from my second playthrough after I got it on Steam, my first playthrough was from a decade ago outside Steam and I had the exact same opinion back then.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Its a short fun game that can be done in less than a day. good luck if your going for all the achievements though, as there is a timed one.

As a game received for free? Hella worth it (Thanks, btw. ^_^) As a game that's about $5 (289 PHP) in full price? I say it's still worth it. If we're going 'a $ per Hour', this checks the box. And it goes on sale still so, even more so for lower price. It's a very 'lite' Metroidvania-lite, without the challenging battles with bosses (just monsters and obstacles that are barely "battle"), and a very straight(down)forward map to clear. Positives: - Chill time-killer, puzzle game to play. - Fairly interesting lore and storytelling, especially considering how short it is. - Can be done in less than 10 hrs (depends on gameplay style). - Barely invites frustrations. - Replayability for challenge playthroughs, and some Achievement completion. Nitpicks: - Too short. - Too straight forward in every aspect. - Not challenging enough, in puzzles, enemies, and clearing of maps. - Side characters didn't have story roles, just shop owners - Power ups eventually makes things a breeze to go through. - Boss fight (and ending) is so much of a letdown. While I'm not too excited to play the sequel, I surely will, if I do get my hands on it. Here's hoping it's much deeper in substance.
Приятная гриндилка на пару вечеров. Управление очень отзывчивое. Не вижу абсолютно никаких минусов
