If you've been to this site before, you'll probably know or at least have a rough inkling that we cover a lot of games here; it's slightly our whole entire thing. But whilst we look at so many games it can often be all to easy to forget that behind each game we look at there's a team of revoltingly talented individuals who have made this creation come to life.
That's why when Thunderful, Image & Form, and Zoink all asked us if we wanted to visit their gigantic shared office in Gothenburg, Sweden, we thought that sounded like a pretty damned lovely prospect. We chatted to the staff, had a look at some games from the past, present, and possibly even another period of time that may not yet have happened. Give the little video play button a tickle up above and see for yourself.
Enormous thanks to everyone Thunderful, Zoink, and Image & Form, we all owe you a less expensive beer Blighty-side.

Image & Form are way up there as one of my very favourite devs.
-even despite the fact that they're bloody Swedes (neighbourly love and all that).
Brilliant people, can't wait to see what they do next.
This is a cool video and they seem like a great team - makes me wish that SteamWorld Quest was a better game.
@ilikeike Personally, I think it's great. What is it you don't like about it? I can understand if you're not a fan of card games or turned based RPGs, but that doesn't make it a sub-par game.
They sound like a superhero team: In the next episode of Thunderful, Image & Form, and Zoink, our heroic team take on the might of the fearsome....... Testicle-atomizer!!!
@roadrunner343 Personally, I found the whole experience to be incredibly repetitive. Environments all looked beautiful but blended together since they shared the same basic hallway design with little to break it up. Battles were frequent, fairly long, and boiled down to the same strategy over and over again. The story squandered its potential - the characters are cool but have basically no development, the big story twist was obvious from a mile away, etc. It's still a worthwhile game in some ways - again, it's really beautiful, and it has some charming writing - I just dont think it's an exemplary RPG, especially when there's so many better offerings on Switch. Also, turn-based RPGs are my probably my favorite genre, so I guess I could just be a bit pickier too!
@ilikeike Thanks for clarifying. It's interesting how not being interested in a genre, or being extremely interested in the genre, can both result in someone being extremely critical =). I tend to love card based games, so maybe I'm a little too lenient here. I definitely share your opinion on battle length, though - they could be toned down a bit.
I like all of their games and I just finished SteamWorld Quest today. It's a pretty good game with gorgeous visuals and a very fun card system.
@MajinSoul How long was Quest??
After playing all of the SteamWorld games, Heist STILL has to be my favorite. I want a sequel sooo bad...
Really like those guys. Heard them on IGN podcast before. Super personable and friendly.
Bring on Heist 2!!!
@MattFox I'm at roughly 16 hours, and I'm on the last chapter. There is an arena area that is completely optional, which I'm about half-way through or so. I may have left the game on a few times, but I don't think it's been for any more than an hour in total.
HowLongToBeat.com has the game length at about 13-16 hours. I definitely found it worth the $25.
Thank you Nintendo Life for a great video! As a big SteamWorld fan, it was fun to hear them and see their studio. And thank you, Image and Form for great games!
@MattFox Took me 20 hours. Could be a bit less if you are just rushing through it, could be a bit more if you try to 100 % it.
@MajinSoul @PerishSong Thanks guys. When buying an indie game I usually go for 1 dollar for 1 hour ratio, so this really helps. I decided to get it when it`s on sale for 20 dollars or less. It might take a while, but it`ll happen lol.
