An adorable little strategy game that's deeper than it appears and has a wonderful soundtrack by Steam Powered Giraffe. Absolutely a gem.

Sharp and compelling strategy that expands on the first game with a clever new progression system, but at over twice the length it's in danger of outstaying its welcome.

SteamWorld Heist 2’s charming adventure refines the original game’s clever turn-based combat with a flexible mix-and-match class system and hand-made maps that are built around using teamwork to accomplish their objectives and escape unscathed. On top of that, it serves up a light and entertaining real-time nautical exploration game as a palette cleanser between battles, and swapping between them helps things stay fresh for more than twice the first game’s 15-hour length. It’s occasionally mired in grinding to unlock the next area and the skill system will make you waste a lot of XP if you don’t know what’s coming, but there’s no shortage of loot, amusingly off-kilter robot characters, and fantastic original folksy music along the way.

The core of SteamWorld Heist still burns brightly in this turn-based tactics sequel, but its bid to go bigger and better is a risk that hasn't quite paid off.

Like first SteamWorld Heist but bigger and better. There are four main differences:
1. You are no longer piloting the spaceship. You are the captain of a submarine, and you can freely explore the whole map.
2. There are ship upgrades that impact ship parameters and crew skills and statistics.
3. There is a well-thought-out multiclass system that gives you way more options on how to progress/organize your crew.
4. There are bounty and rest mechanisms that push you to use all your crew members every "day" if you want to maximize your loot. If you liked the first SteamWorld Heist, or you like turn-based tactic games, you will love this one. Btw. Works great on Steam Deck.

Steamworld Heist 2 es sin duda un juego muy recomendable y entretenido. Empecemos por la historia, esta no es nada particularmente increíble, pero sus personajes funcionan razonablemente y sus premisas inocentes y afables cumplen bien. Pero donde el juego destaca es en su jugabilidad, que sigue siendo única. Las seis clases de personajes son muy diferentes y el poder combinarlas da pie a una enorme personalización de estilos, estrategias y demás. Combinando eso con las habilidades únicas de cada personaje es suficientemente profundo como para nunca aburrir. A eso hay que sumar el equipamiento de los personajes, que con sus slots limitados también da pie a seguir perfeccionando builds. Los enemigos también son muy variados, con tres facciones bien diferenciadas en estética y trama pero también y sobretodo en cómo juegan y cómo hay que enfrentarlas. Buena variedad de enemigos dentro de cada una de ellas además. Y las misiones también son variadas entre sí tanto en objetivos, como contratiempos y distintos eventos que ocurren en ellas. Quizás la parte más floja, porque es entretenida pero ya, es el combate naval, pero sigue siendo lo suficientemente interesante como para no aburrir, aunque no sea la panacea.Estéticamente el juego está bastante bien, dentro de sus limitaciones, con la cuidada estética de los Steamworld en general muy bien trasladada. Quizás flojea un poco en el apartado de animaciones. El sonido cumple bien, buenos efectos, la banda sonora cumple bien y aunque no hay doblaje en la mayoría de conversaciones, los sonidos de los robots están bien y son graciosos. Además, al menos en mis horas jugando, no me he encontrado con ningún bug, aunque me hubiera gustado que las misiones tuvieran un botón de "reiniciar" en vez de tener que abandonar y volver a empezar. Pero vamos, un juego que sin duda no pasará al panteón de los juegos que hacen historia, pero que está muy por encima de la media habitual. Un 8.

I don't remember the first game being this bland and boring. It could be that the first game had the outer space setting and more mystere going for it. I've been playing for a couple of hours now and the game feels like it's just dragging on and not showing me anything interesting.

Usually garbage by ineffective developers. They don't know how to make the game more difficult organically so they make the enemies do things you can't do. This makes the higher difficulty levels not fun, and honestly, the developers likely couldn't figure out how to do this better.
