Anything Steamworld is worth playing.
This studio is so consistent that I would buy anything they make. They have jumped across multiple genres, using the steamworld ip, and delivered amazing games in each one of them.

Buy it if you are on the fence. I don't like card games and I finished it!
I was/am a huge fan of Slay the Spire. So after I read glowing reviews about this, I got it on a deal.

I think after about a couple hours, I just really had a hard time getting into it. It's been a while, but I remember it feeling like the progression was very slow, and the battles weren't near as satisfying as they are in Slay the Spire.

I know they're different games, but in case others see "card battle RPG" and think Slay the Spire, they're pretty different games.

Game is a lot of fun. Very customizable combinations. Story is light hearted but very standard.

Got 30ish hours out of it on my first playthrough on legendary(they fixed the difficulty scaling, used to be way too easy).

Enjoy!

125% agree! I have Steamworld Heist, and love the charm and humor, and i can see that holds true with all their other Steamworld games. You really can't go wrong with any Steamworld title!

As you said, both are two different games. Steamworld is a more structured game, with RPG mechanics and a story attached to it. Slay the spire is designed around card collecting and roguelike mechanics. Personally like steamworld much better and felt the game got progressively better as the plot progressed.

Yea Heist is by far the best of them in my personal opinion. I've replayed the game several times, well worth every penny.
