Now coming to Game Pass

The beeping booping SteamBots are back for the first time in four years, but the next outing takes them into a drastically different genre, as is now a tradition for the series. Publisher Thunderful have announced that their robo western citybuilderSteamWorld Buildis coming out on December 1st. Here, take a look at the cuteness.

As you can see above, calling the game a citybuilder may be a bit reductive since it’s also an undercover (and underground) tower defence ‘em up, too. These rustbuckets do everything, I swear. On the sandy surface, you need to set up a mining town and take care of usual managerial duties: setting up homes, shops, and probably a saloon or two. But in an attempt to build better and reach for the sky (that’s not just a cowboy Woody quote; your goal is literally to escape the dying planet), you’ll need to start digging.
