SteamWorld Heist is a turn-based tactics shooter video game developed and published by Image & Form. The third installment of the SteamWorld series and the sequel to SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Heist has the player control Captain Piper Faraday, a smuggler and occasional pirate, as she recruits a ragtag team of robots and sets out on a space adventure. The objective of the game is for players to board, loot, and shoot their way through enemy spaceships.

Runs well on modern hardware.

it's just boring after a while with no real upgrades for your characters to change up the tactics. Enemies are tougher, and plentiful with missions having countdowns to send more turrets and enemies at you. It gets unfair after a couple of missions.
Amazingly fun game and very affordable when on sale. In an age of AI, I'm drawn to these older games where real effort, creativity and ingenuity powered game design and production. The musical score is amazing as well, I love the soundtrack and the band behind it, Steam Powered Giraffe. Again, people dressing up as robots but singing with so much heart and meaning.
What used to be a free game in the shape of Steamworld Dig is now a tactical rpg. Having played the game on experienced from start to finish you can really appreciate the challenge the game brings forth and while fun, some of the missions do have some issues. For example, when it comes to the randomization of maps and stuff, you may bring a certain team and then the game blocks you with impossible shots, blocked off paths to destroy important enemies or objects and then you have to reset the mission to adapt and can get penalized with your currency, still I can count with one hand the amount of times that happened. Amazing characters, fun weapons to experiment with and for certain it's a very colorful game, never allowing itself to grow dull and uninteresting wether it's visually or in character design. A very fun game which allows for more playing hours than one thought there would be.
