The primary gameplay aspects of Dig 2 are similar to the original, though there are some handy additions that have been added in. The core conceit of Steamworld Dig 2 is digging underground, gathering resources, selling those resources and buying upgrades to dig more. While you may know exactly what the setting of Steamworld Heist is and you may have a clue on how it connects to Steamworld Dig 2, getting to that point can actually be kind of emotional. By the end of the game, you get a real sense of connection between the characters. The plot goes in some surprising directions, as you uncover a doomsday cult, a group of “Shiners” (the last remnants of humanity), and discover that although the threat thwarted at the end of the last game may be dead, it’s terror is far from over. After meeting a small ghostly sprite named Fen, Dorthy sets to digging underground to find Rusty and determine exactly what is causing all of the quakes above ground. Following the ending of that game, Rusty vanished and was last seen in the small town of El Machino. So it certainly wasn’t a surprise that the sequel, Steamworld Dig 2 was announced for the Switch and, as it turns out, is still an absolute blast to play as a portable game (although, playing it on a big screen is still great, too.)įollowing the events of the original game, Steamworld Dig 2 follows Dorthy, another steam-powered robot on a search for Rusty, the protagonist of the first game. While seeing the art in full size is great, indie games like that work especially well in handheld form. Playing it on the Playstation Vita, however, felt nearly perfect. Steamworld Dig was a game I got into way too late.
