I think you’re gonna dig it
Thunderful describe it asAnnomeetsDungeon Keeper, but there’s also a hint of tower defence thrown into the mix as well, as you’ll need to deal with lots of metal-chomping creatures lurking beneath the surface. You’ll need to dig deep, too, as your ultimate goal is to find various different rocket parts so you can escape your ruined planet and head to the stars. Until then, though, you’ll be building homes for your workers, cactus farms and service shops to keep them cool and oiled up, warehouses to store your goods, workshops to drill out tough minerals and much more.
It’s very moreish, but don’t just take my word for it. You can try a slice of SteamWorld Build for yourself right this very second if all that sounds like it’s up yourmanagement gamealley, as there’s a demo that’s just gone live on SteamWorld Build’sSteam pageto coincide withValve’s Base Builder Fest.
Plus, if you want to catch up on all the other games in Thunderful’s SteamWorld series, there’s also a SteamWorld sale on right now as well. My personal favs have always beenDig 2andSteamWorld Heistif you’re looking for absolute must-plays, but they’re all top-tier adventures in their own right.
Until then, though, I’d strongly recommmend giving the SteamWorld Build demo a go yourself - available onSteam,GOGand theEpic Games Store- and then come and chat about it over here in myearly in-depth impressions.
