SteamWorld Dig developer Image & Form is taking the series in a new direction with SteamWorld Heist, a turn-based strategy effort that puts you in charge of a team of robot scavengers.
The studio’s released the very first gameplay trailer today, and it’s looking pretty darned sharp. I didn’t know how much I wanted to play a roguish robot space-captain until now.
You’ll your team across a 2D plane, making use of what looks like an action point system to move and fire at enemies. You get a line representing the path of your bullet and angles of deflection, which encourages some neat trick shots. You can even shoot an enemy robot’s hat off, then pick it up and wear it. Sold.
SteamWorld Heist is coming to pretty much every platform including Steam this Fall. You can keep up with the game’s development on Image & Form’s blog.
