SteamWorld Heist

I remember when I first played this game, I was expecting some sort of 2d shoot 'em up? Like the Steamworld Dig controls, but you have a gun. So when I started playing, I very quickly got frustrated at how clunky it felt to control, and I put the game down. But. That's not what this game is. It's a turn based strategy game. The gameplay is based around juggling four things. Fighting enemies, avoiding dying, looting everything, and doing it all quick enough to not get overwhelmed by the endless swarm that is summoned by the alarm. You have to be positioned so that you can shoot your enemies, but you need to hide behind cover to not get shot yourself, but your environment is constantly changing as you progress through the level grabbing everything, so you have to change your cover often. Really, the trick is, and the best part of the game in my opinion is, that you don't have to have a sightline to your enemies to be able to hit them. You can ricochet bullets off surfaces, which means there's a lot of non-intuitive spots that become viable. I beat the game on Regular, while trying to get every star, and it took me 25 hours. Though, I had a habit of trying to beat levels far out of my level range just because I wanted to, so you'll probably be able to do it quicker. By my standards, it's worth the 15 dollars. I mean. Don't pay that much for it, obviously. It goes on sale for like 3 dollars. And you might not like it as much as me. I don't know what your standards for a 3 dollar game are, but my mine, this is one of the best games on steam. Uh, though, if I take the price out of consideration it's probably like a 7/10. Also probably just get the DLC. I was planning on only getting it if I liked the game, but then I forgot and now I have to do a new playthrough about it. Oh well. also use the vertical control keys to line up your shots instead of clicking. Maybe I just have a shaky hand but trying to use the mouse has screwed me over quite a lot. okay love you bye
