About

SteamWorld Dig is a platform mining adventure with strong Metroidvanian influences. Take the role of Rusty, a lone mining steambot, as he arrives at an old mining town in great need. Dig your way through the old earth, gaining riches while uncovering the ancient threat that lurks below...

  • A rich world of steam-driven robots, inspired by Steampunk and Western themes
  • Explore an underground world full of secrets, treasure and terrors
  • Uncover the remnants of human civilisation, a degenerate race of dynamite-wielding troglodytes
  • Randomised worlds with emergent gameplay

SteamWorld Dig can proudly sit amongst those top-tier eShop titles that can describe themselves as a ‘must-play’. There is a small desert’s worth of charm packed into this game, with a beautifully high level of polish and sheen just oozing from its very core. We’d love to have more reasons to play the game after its relatively short campaign and, considering this game is a short few years old now, having a UK launch price higher than when it released on previous Nintendo systems seems slightly off, but the gameplay alone will show you that this one is a real winner.

If you’re looking to delve into the SteamWorld universe for the first time, this would be a great place to start.

I absolutely adored SteamWorld Dig when I first played it on my Nintendo 3DS. I bought it again and cruised through it on my Wii U. I triple-dipped and played it on my Nintendo Switch. It's still fantastic. The gameplay look is simple and addictive: dig, gather materials, improve your abilities, dig deeper, fight cool bosses, discover surprising things, repeat. If you enjoy this, don't miss the excellent sequel. Highly recommended!
