Despite these differences, each new entry somehow feels equal measures fresh and familiar. Last year SteamWorld Quest gave us a deck-building RPG in a fantasy setting – dungeons and dragons meets steampunk with addictive gameplay.
#STEAMWORLD DIG MODS SERIES#
SteamWorld Heist flips the setting into a craftily designed 2D turn-based shooter, and is the only game in the series set in space.
Then there is SteamWorld Dig 1, an action and puzzle platformer, and the only game in the series to have a direct sequel – SteamWorld Dig 2. You have SteamWorld Tower Defence, the 2010 strategy tower-defence game. When simply listed out, except for the name, they largely feel distinct. SteamWorld is the prime example of their calibre and it is the video game that holds my attention above all others.Ĭonsisting of five games released over the last 10 years, the SteamWorld series manages to make each game feel simultaneously unique and comfortingly familiar. Image & Form are a Swedish studio that has been releasing games of staggeringly consistent quality for the last decade. I’m sorry Nintendo, Capcom and Microsoft, but you’re going to have to play second fiddle to Image & Form and their SteamWorld series.
And, no, it wouldn’t be a Resident Evil 4 remake, even though that would be a must-buy if it was released. No, it wouldn’t be Halo Infinite either, though that is going to be an automatic Day One purchase. No, it wouldn’t be Metroid Prime, though I’m patiently waiting for updates. If you were to ask me which gaming series I’m most excited about another instalment for, the answer would be an easy one.
