SteamWorld Heist could be a download highlight of 2015, with the follow-up - not sequel - to SteamWorld Dig heading to Wii U and 3DS alongside a host of other platforms. 2D strategy takes the place of digging and jumping, while steampunk will be heading into outer space.
The Image & Form blog is posting regular updates, and the latest article shows off The Scrappers, which are familiar enemies to those that have watched footage or played demos so far.
Though appearances will vary due to the game being procedurally generated by nature, each will have different strengths.
Rippers are weak but attack in numbers.
Choppers are "smarter and able to handle more potent weaponry".
Finally, Crushers are rather like tanks, absorbing and dishing out a lot of damage.
Let us know what you think of these details, and whether you're excited about SteamWorld Heist, in the comments.

One of my most anticipated indie games! Need to see more and glad it's coming this year!
gimme gimme!! can't wait for this , think I actually prefer this concept to the original game!!
Day one!
Can't wait for more steam-bot gaming.
I feel bad but I misread that as Scalpers for some reason. Anyway I'll pick this up when it drops.
SteamWorld Dig was one of my favorite eshop titles. I loved it so much that I bought the 3DS and the Wii U version just to give them my support.
This new game will be a day one purchase.
SQUEEEEE
Definitely excited for Heist!
Song at the end was awesome.
oh man, not my style of gameplay. I was interested but now looks completely boring for me. Ill pass
I loved SteamWorld Dig, but I may wait for a sale on this one.
@Bass_X0 How much are they charging for it?
Can't wait for this one really enjoyed the first game ... Ended too soon 😞
WOw. Steamworld Dig never caught my attention due to 'digging holes' not sounding very fun, and the gameplay videos did little to sway me. Heist on the other hand reminds me of a small dash of Abe's Odyssey and a helping of Codename S.T.E.A.M (or X-Com, or Valkyria Chronicles depending on what you have played.)
If the price is right, I won't mind adding this to my 3DS.

"Digging holes" never sounded very fun to me either... but I got Dig as part of the Humble Bundle and it has been an incredibly fun game...
