In a short video, Thunderful presents the most important gameplay elements of the game coming in August and there is an innovation compared to its predecessor: every bot will have a job.
The at the Nintendo Indie World presentation in April SteamWorld Heist II has been unveiled. We already knew that the continuation of the turn-based, side-view game would lead us to the sea this time, and now we’ve got an insight into the gameplay as well.
In the game, you control a team of bots that search for loot. All bots can shoot and move during their turn. An important element is the “geller” system, i.e. the projectiles bounce off the walls, which can come in handy in some cases.
The biggest innovation, however, is that in the second part, each bot will have its own caste, which will determine the toolkit with which they go for treasures. For example, the engineer can shoot two shots per round, while the flanker has higher mobility and has a shotgun.
The more you use a caste, the more abilities it will have. However, it is important that you can switch between castes during the missions, moreover, the acquired skills will be preserved. This means that you will be able to combine and create very strong and fast characters at the same time. But there will be several factions among our opponents, which will use different tactics against us.
The game will be released on August 8 for all platforms (except mobile).
