Steamworld Dig 2 - Nintendo Switch

SteamWorld Dig 2 invites you on a platform mining adventure, meticulously crafted in the style of Metroidvania. This game is set in an old trading town that has been rattled by enigmatic earthquakes. The responsibility of unveiling the hidden terrors that cause these tremors falls on the shoulders of a solitary steamboat and her improbable ally. The game’s protagonist is Dorothy, a steam-driven robot who embarks on a quest to find her lost friend, Rusty. Rusty, the hero of the previous game, mysteriously vanished after the final boss fight. Dorothy’s journey takes her to the mining town of El Machino, where she teams up with an unlikely companion, Fen. Fen is a remnant of the Vectron that Rusty had previously fought.

The gameplay of SteamWorld Dig 2 is a delightful blend of exploration, combat, platforming, and puzzle-solving. As Dorothy, players will delve into a vast underground mine, encountering enemy creatures and unearthing various resources as they dig their way downwards. As the game progresses, Dorothy gains abilities and weapons such as pressure bombs, a hookshot, and a pneumatic arm that can punch through rock.

The game’s world is not procedurally generated but is instead a gorgeously detailed, handcrafted world. This world is filled with treasure, secrets, and traps, providing players with plenty of variety and a great gameplay rhythm. The game also features customizable gear, adding another layer of depth to the gameplay.

SteamWorld Dig 2 is a single-player game that offers a rich and immersive gaming experience. It is a worthy addition to any library and stands out because of its great gameplay that works well both as a portable game and on a big TV. The game is longer than its predecessor, SteamWorld Dig, and features multiple bosses rather than just one.

The game’s storyline takes place between the events of SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist. The narrative is engaging and keeps players hooked as they try to figure out what happened to Rusty. The story is complemented by a cast of interesting characters, each with their own unique personalities and roles.

SteamWorld Dig 2 is a game that will appeal to fans of Metroidvania, platforming, action-adventure, and side-scrolling games. It offers a unique and enjoyable gaming experience that is both fun and satisfying. Whether you’re a fan of the SteamWorld series or new to the franchise, SteamWorld Dig 2 is a game that you won’t want to miss.
