Carrying on from its predecessor, SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Dig 2 puts players in control of Dorothy, a steam-driven robot searching for Rusty, the protagonist of the previous game who disappeared. The game also features customisable gear, and in the Switch version, HD Rumble support. The game is a lot longer than SteamWorld Dig, with multiple bosses rather than just one. GameplayĪs previously mentioned, this game marks the return of the Metroidvania/Spelunky/Dig Dug-style gameplay that was in the original, which consists of exploring mines and finding ores and gems to sell. The fast-travel system also makes your health less important than it might be, as getting to a pneumatic tube entrance lets you hop back to town, instantly replenishing your health, water stores, and lamp. It gets easier as you progress, however, as you can equip cogs to help keep your lamp glowing and unlock more ways to safely take out enemies. The longer you stay underground the dimmer your lamp gets, and the more you collect the greater the loss if you die. Like the last game it has a risk-reward dynamic at play, as you need to come back to the surface to sell off your loot regularly – your backpack can only carry so much – but how often you do that is about how far you want to push it. Dig 2 is all about the explore, harvest, upgrade, explore loop.
