    SteamWorld Heist is a decent length when factoring in the wide range of difficulty settings, and the fact you will be playing some missions a few times. Essentially, this is a well-made squad-based strategy that gives a choice: go in guns blazing…. or go in gun blazing. While the game is heavy on the tactics, it's never heavy on subtlety. It's nice it wastes little time, but it also suffers from a lack of diversity because of it. It's thus probably better for those looking for a game to play on/off rather than binge over.

    The SteamWorld devs are making a name for themselves for providing addicting, simple gameplay with really cool mechanics. The strategy element in this game, for example, may seem a little basic at first glance. But the ricochet system of bouncing bullets off of walls and ceilings is incredibly fun to mess around with. Lining up your shot JUST right never gets old.    … Full Review »

    STEAMWORLD HEIST is a fantastic but short indie game. It's not my favorite indie game, but it's close.
