SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition is a fantastic port of a fantastic game, and it fits perfectly on the Switch. Deep, engaging gameplay and stylish presentation combine to make this one of the standout indie releases of the year; this is a great example of a well put-together game. If you are at all a fan of strategy games, or are just looking for a fun diversion to occupy your time over the next couple weeks, pick up this game. It puts a neat twist on standard turn-based strategy gameplay, and stands as another fantastic entry in the SteamWorld series.

SteamWorld Heist is a rollicking good time. This rock-solid 2D turn-based strategy will test your skill at judging angles in the best way possible, with lots of surprises and humor along the way. Even if you've never played a game of this type before, I promise you'll enjoy the learning curve and be blasting bad bots with the best of them before long. Recommended!
