Splitkick: If you’ve ever lamented that the 3DS doesn’t have nearly enough games about robots digging holes in the ground, Steamworld Dig is here to solve all your problems. A post-apocalyptic mining adventure from developer Image & Form, Steamworld Dig blends some of the best elements from Metroid and Castlevania with “mining” genre gems like Terraria and Dig Dug. While this might seem like an odd combination, the final product is one of the best titles currently available on the Nintendo eShop.
TSA writes: We revisit the games that put SteamWorld on the map with the digging metroidvania adventures of SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Dig 2.
From IGN: "Thunderful Games has four separate SteamWorld games in development with three expected to launch next year.
The company revealed during its latest financial results that SteamWorld Headhunter - a third person action adventure that was revealed in November - is just one of four different genres the SteamWorld franchise is exploring. It is expected to launch in 2023, along with two others.
Those two, codenamed 'Strawberry' and 'Coffee', will be followed in 2024 by 'Caramel'. Are all listed as "SteamWorld IP" games, with Strawberry and Coffee actually listed before Headhunter in Thunderful's development timeline."
Coolest news in a while ! Steamworld games are always the best! Steamwrold Dig,Dig 2, Steamworld Quest and Steamworld Heist are all fabulous games !!
