SteamWorld Dig Reviews

Way too short.

Short addicting game.

fun but fuck orbs or whatever I CANT GET THEM EARLY GAME

Metroidvania-lite, as in a Metroidvania you can finish in (looks at playtime) 6 hours. I'd even say this is probably a great introduction to Metroidvanias. I found the lighter fluid resource management to be a great but simple mechanic to get you back up to the town Hub. The light combat, along with the digging and the exploration, as well as the highly charming tongue in cheek steampunk aesthetic make this game a winner.

Not the most complex game, but a fun time still. Would recommend for someone who wants to have a good time and enjoys mining. Rock and Stone!

The original Steam World Dig is tighter than the sequel with more grounded gameplay, and highly enjoyable. The sequel is great too, but the original has more restrictive, and in my opinion better gameplay. The first cave area music is okay, and it gets a lot better from there. Hang in there for cave areas two and three. Highly recommended.

Starting off my SteamWorld adventures with the first in the "series" (if you can call it that), with Dig. A short and sweet Metroidvania + Platforming digging game where you play as Rusty in a really well-drawn universe of robotic desert dwellers. It has a pretty repetitive yet engaging gameplay loop where you dig, go back to the surface, sell your ores, buy upgrades, and then head back for more. It's a nice, casual experience overall. My main gripe is that it's way too easy. I beat the game with no deaths on my first attempt, and almost got the speedrunning achievement on accident off by about 20 minutes. The final boss is a cakewalk as well. Could use more challenging moments to make it more memorable. But overall, I would recommend this game. It's cute, it's fun, and it knows what it is. 3/5

Bought it for 1 euro on sale. Addictive game loop, short enough to be excellent all along.

fun game, fairly hard. not to punishing, and the backtracking is a lot of fun. great leadup to #2, and it only took me about 6 hours to 100% it. I got it and #2 for $2, so definetely worth :D

Dig baby dig. Game took me around 6 hours to beat for the first time and the achievements are quite difficult for example "get 4 gold stars" which could mean alot of replayability. For a game that is a dollar when its on sale pretty frequently def a must buy.
