As you progress even farther into the game you unlock the rocket pack which allows Dorothy to briefly fly. It also alleviates one of the problems I ran into in the first game-digging a shaft too far down and then getting stuck because you couldn't wall jump out-which meant you had to rely on ladders, which cost gold. The grappling hook is handy for grabbing onto and boosting Dorothy over and above certain obstacles. There's no need to depend on expensive teleporters as a more efficient source of movement-you can use the map and easily teleport directly back to El Machino.ĭorothy has access to a number of handy implements that greatly improve her movement and make digging and navigating a literal (and metaphorical) blast. As players dig further below the earth they will find that the pneumatic tube system is much easier to find and use. Luckily, the developers paid attention to some of the minor annoyances in the first game and did a fabulous job of addressing and changing some of them. The gameplay in SteamWorld Dig 2 is very similar to the first game-much of it revolves around digging through different areas and searching for minerals and caves to search.

Similar to SteamWorld, the town of El Machino is filled with robots who provide a number of helpful functions-there are vendors who buy minerals and sell upgrades, there are pneumatic transportation tubes to quickly zip Dorothy to different locations around the map, and there are friendly robots to chat with. Fen is a feisty little bugger who enjoys destruction and serves as a sort of helpful follower. On the way she stumbles across an odd, sprite-like entity known as Fen.

The story follows Dorothy as she tries to locate Rusty, who disappeared after he handily defeated the evil robot mastermind, Vectron.ĭorothy finds herself searching the area around the robot town of El Machino.

Rather than playing as Rusty, the robot protagonist from the first game, you play as Dorothy-the cute, little robot vendor from the same game. SteamWorld Dig 2 continues the story of the spunky, steam powered robots who populate a place that is very much like the old American West. At first I was worried that I might've wasted my money on something that I wasn't going to like, but boy was I wrong! I've had fun playing all three of the games (if you're interested you can read about SteamWorld Dig here and SteamWorld Heist here) and after finishing up SteamWorld Dig 2, I feel great about my purchases. I snatched up three SteamWorld games for under under $20 and have been gradually playing my way through them. Steam's Black Friday sale was an opportunity for me to impulse buy a bundle of games for a nice, low price.
