    This Game !!!! it took me back to when my love for gaming started with dig dug in the 90’s. The 2D platform works great.

    You actually have to think about your moves; if you don’t then life is made a lot harder for you trying to play this game. It’s one of them games were you find yourself addicted, Very easily and quickly. The start of the game starts a little hard work and slow, but    This Game !!!! it took me back to when my love for gaming started with dig dug in the 90’s. The 2D platform works great.

    It’s one of them games were you find yourself addicted, Very easily and quickly. The start of the game starts a little hard work and slow, but once you start picking the correct tools and perks you’re soon on your way.

    Compared to top platform games it does somewhat sit behind them, but if your wanting to work your mind and have a little fun then BUY THIS GAME.

    Nice game, the mechanics is fairly addictive and the upgdrades make it sweeter along the time. The main cons being the necessity to go back way too much in the first 2/3 of the game, making it a bit frustrating, but once again, the upgrades make it more fluid along the run.

    SteamWorld Dig's ramshackle caverns are a threat to traverse, and while Rusty's underground excursion is over a little too quickly, there are plenty of distractions to be found on the way. [Issue#127, p.84]

    The exploration is awesome. The upgrade system is awesome. The game was just awesome. Its available on damn-near every platform and if you haven’t played it yet you definitely should.

    A great twist on a genre almost as old as gaming itself, SteamWorld Dig gives platforming an injection of life and spirit that stands out from the crowd in this age of blockbuster gaming. It's worth playing for many reasons, but the fresh way it handles platforming is reason enough itself.
