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.

I wanted to like this game more - but the 50% penalty for a mission failure (with no cap) is absurdly punitive. Lost 12,000+ in two missions because new enemies were introduced with abilities that weren't explained. That mechanic REALLY needs to be adjusted, should be a cap of ~1k or something along those lines.
A very good turn-based strategy game with a particularly unique gameplay style. The manual aiming system makes every encounter interesting and creates a great sense of tension. With a good variety of characters, abilities, weapons and enemies, along with a simple but enjoyable story, SteamWorld Heist is a very enjoyable experience. 100% Steam Achievements Time: 37.8 hours Completion Difficulty: 8/10 Playthrough: 2 recommended Missable: No Guide Recommended: Yes — mainly to find all the hats. DLC Required: Yes Online Required: No Notable Requirements: Complete the game on Elite with an all-Gold ranking; obtain all reputation stars; complete every mission without casualties or failures; stay within the turn limit; collect a large number of hats, including rare hats with RNG.
