SteamWorld Build Brings Sim-Style Gameplay To The Series
A new game in the popular SteamWorld series has been announced by developer Thunderful Games. SteamWorld Build is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year.
Thunderful made the announcement earlier this week, pairing it with a new trailer showcasing the title.The series, which started in 2010, continues to venture into different genres. What started as a tower defense game quickly turned into a platforming, role-playing, and strategy game.
SteamWorld Build is set to continue this trend by taking the series in another whole new direction. A construction and management simulation is added to the team’s portfolio, allowing players to build towns and mines in a robotic steampunk world.
The synopsis involves a dying planet that needs lost technology to survive. Cut to you and your mining prowess to save the day. Along the way, you’ll be tasked with helping the locals, trading resources, and defending the mines from what lurks beneath the surface.
You can preview the gameplay in action with the trailer below, which showcases an above-ground town and an underground mining facility.
Thunderful Games recently dabbled in the construction genre with its foray into the world of LEGO. LEGO Bricktales is a solid construction/adventure game in its own right, and if you can pull off that type of brick building, we think SteamWolrd Build is worth checking out.
