Overall, this is the same fantastic game it was on 3DS, with a campaign that delivers in both quality and quantity. Any player should be able to find a difficulty setting that suits them. Even on the middle difficulty we had a few painful defeats (losing half our money in the process) and some close calls. Difficulty can be changed between five options before every mission, with greater rewards allied to higher risks if you opt for a tough challenge. Up to three stars are awarded depending on performance (a third is for collecting 'epic swag'), and for players there's always the balance of targeting enemies, grabbing loot or simply high-tailing it to the evacuation area. The actual missions offer plenty of action even the quickest players should be looking at over a dozen hours to blast through. Putting together your crew, levelling up their abilities and boosting equipment is the key loop, and it's smartly balanced. Some are powerful units that are ideal for absorbing and dishing out punishment, others (like Faraday) can use long-distance scoped weapons, others opt for assault weapons and plenty of movement, and others include a military bot that's deadly (to enemy and friend alike) with a grenade launcher. As you progress through the story you accumulate a quirky cast of bots, each with their own humorous characteristics and unique class-types. The campaign itself sees you take on the role of Captain Piper Faraday, a pirate that becomes a freedom fighter against assorted villains. It's extremely clever design, helping Heist to stand out and also make it rather addictive in the process. All attacks are manual, and as a result you can be strategically perfect but mess up the execution, or alternatively bail yourself out with a fluky (or skilful, if you prefer) ricochet shot that defies the odds.
To recap on the basics, this title adopts a 2D turn-based strategy approach, yet also incorporates skill-based aiming. We'll be recapping some details here but focusing on what's different on Wii U if you want a relatively exhaustive summary of the gameplay mechanics and so on then you can also check out our original SteamWorld Heist review.

SteamWorld Heist was another hit for the studio on 3DS, but there's little doubt that a number of eShop gamers have been waiting to play it in its full glory on a bigger screen.įirst of all, it's worth pointing out that this game is the same, in most ways, to that 3DS release from December 2015. The SteamWorld titles evoke an utterly charming steampunk aesthetic, with clunky and scrappy robots shining at full resolution on a TV. "Like any master burglar, it's plundered wisely, but it's got plenty of its own tricks to balance that out.Though Image & Form's most notable sales and critical breakthroughs have been on the 3DS, its games often cry out to be played in HD.
