SteamWorld Dig 2 is now available to download from the Switch eShop and we rather liked it in our review. The game is jam-packed with things to do and as with any Metroidvania style game, completing it with 100% of collectables will be a stern challenge.
Image & Form's big cheese Brjann Sigurgeirsson has just been in touch to let us know that completing the game 100% might well be worth your while, however:
One of the things we promised ourselves when we set out to make SWD2 was to include a big reward at the very end of the game. A chunk of bonus gameplay that justified getting to the core of what SWD2 is all about: exploration.
We thought it was a fun to surprise completionists this way, but now we realize that players deserve to know that completing the game 100% unlocks post-game content. Of course we'll let players discover for themselves WHAT that is... suffice it to say that it is as surprising as it is challenging!
What a tease! Will you be the first to unlock the secrets of SteamWorld Dig 2? Let us know your percentage of completion with a comment below.

I'll play it, won't be the first though. Got Pokkén to obsess over first
Hell yes I'm going to 100% it now. That was the only incentive I needed haha.
@Kalmaro You beat me by 10 seconds man you're fast haha. You're the first on here atleast
Ah, I hope this will tempt Jirard The Completionist, then !
A port of the game on Wii U.
@Joker13z Haha, it's become something of a hobby of mine now. I don't mind not being first but if there's an empty comment section, imma take it!
@Kalmaro What kind of crazy person rushes to comment on a story asap?
I'm not going to rush this game. I'm going to savour it by slowly digging my way to paradise.
@JHDK Holds up two thumbs which may or my not belong to him and points them to himself
This guy.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE you DO know that the Wii U Game was a port, right?
Looks good hope theres a long campaign.
Still at 1% as of right now, but oh, I'll get there.
buys eshop card
You unlock Rusty as a playable character.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE THAT was funny 😂
Neat, I wonder if 100% includes getting gold medals in all areas, like time to beat, items found, and number of deaths?
Unlockable - rusty character perhaps???
Watch it be just a concept art book. lol
I like a lot this game so far. Im on the way To 100% for sure.
Didn't even know this came out but maybe I'll buy it. I'm still heavily in samus returns and I probably will pick up xenoverse 2
Brjann may have got in touch and sent you that email, but he and Julius shared the news in a video on YouTube at least 12 ahead of the time the email was sent, yet no one seems to mention that.
Would be cool if unlocked the first Steamworld Dig.
@Webheadd
That would be awesome my friend, because I've never played it....
Jirard would be proud
Been playing this game all evening and I'm really enjoying it
There is a platform with a skull on it with two red eyes in the middle of the air, east of the main village. Collect all 42 artifacts and enable the blueprint from the work bench. The skulls mouth will open and give access to a very tough series of platforming challenges. It will take away some items as you go. Haven't beaten it yet, got to where those super scary giant robots chase you through a room. That's where I died. No clue how long it is. I'll try again in the morning.
Update: the room order is randomized. I also only have 96% I don't think I have all the cogs.
They made it sound more exciting than it actually is. Post-game challenge rooms are fairly standard stuff. Felt more like a chore than a reward, really.

If I was not a robot, I would spit out my cereal right now! Hilarious! Clink Clank Zrrt.....
