Game Podunk's Jonathan Higgins writes: "Following up a successful game probably feels intimidating most of the time, especially if youre a small development team like Image Form. If youve played and enjoyed SteamWorld Dig, youre probably expecting me to use certain key words and phrases when describing SteamWorld Heist, like its more of what you love about the first game and "the gameplay is very similar." I invite you to toss all those precognitions out the window. SteamWorld Heist isnt an exploration-based platformer at all, but rather a turn-based strategy game mixed with elements of an action game. I got a chance to sit down with Image Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson at E3 and spent a good thirty minutes immersing myself in a whole new world, and a new gameplay style that couldnt be more different from the game that came before it."
