Image & Form has announced that its latest title SteamWorld Quest will be receiving a free update to make the game even more enticing than it was before. The best news? You'll be able to check it out starting from tomorrow.
The update will take the game to Version 2.0, with the main new addition being a New Game Plus. You'll be able to access this once you've completed the story; the mode lets you replay the game from the beginning and keep most of your non-story progress like cards, items, and more. When you unlock the game's characters you’ll have access to all their cards from your previous playthrough.
Also, a new, "super-hard" difficultly called Legend Remix will let you really test your skills once you've beaten the game on a more normal setting. This mode is only available within New Game Plus and apparently "throws in a fair amount of gameplay twists of its own". Intriguing.
That's not it, though, because there's also a new art gallery with previously unseen concept art and illustrations, and a jukebox should you want to listen to the game's soundtrack in peace. HD Rumble has also been introduced, the merchant's wagon now contains more consumable items, and it's now easier to get into the “Midas Grand Prix” colosseum tournament.
If you haven't picked up a copy of the game, there's never been a better time. To celebrate the update, SteamWorld Quest will be getting a limited-time 20% discount - make sure to head on over to the eShop tomorrow and check it out.

Once I beat a game I dont often revisit it but I can see myself playing through this again someday. This is just more incentive to give it another go. So much I still haven't seen and 2 characters I barely used.
Still patiently waiting for a physical release.
Totally forgot about this game, and a discount makes it even more tempting...
But Image & Form are so great that I might wait and pay full price, they deserve every virtual penny
I'm still waiting for the promised physical release myself, but very eager for it as well.
I told myself if I saw a discount for this game I would pick it up, however at $20 (after the discount) I still think it's a bit high... the other SteamWorld games have gotten crazy discounted (after I bought them all for full price at launch) so may wait for a while as I am in no rush and my backlog is maddening.
I will say, this game looks amazing and I will 100% pick it up at some point with this extra content!
@LegendOfStewart Same here. I remember them saying it would be out by the end of the year.
I'm surprised the article doesn't make any mention of the physical edition coming this year. Julius said it like it was obvious but this is just awesome !
Image&Forms Games always add goodies to the physical editions so it can only be nice.
@Mathieu_B A few months ago, their official Twitter account tweeted that the end of the year was still the plan, but I'm starting to doubt it will be out before next year. Hope I'm wrong though.
I found this hard to enjoy. My least favourite steam world game. I might redownload and give it another chance
I LOVE Image & Form, but couldn't convince myself to get this one. It looked downright boring, and the reviews for the game often used the words "grind" and "repetitive."
Those are big turn-offs for me. I don't have enough gaming time to grind (Pokemon is too grindy for me).
I read this article hoping that somehow those issues would be resolved, but nope.
I LOVED Dig and really liked Dig 2. Heist was my absolute favorite, I played through it a 2nd time with completely different characters and liked it more than the first time.
I look forward to their next game and hope they simplify back to the early greatness of Dig 1 and Heist. The newer games are getting a bit over-complicated and a touch on the boring side.
@cyrus_zuo I never had to grind. The only time I replayed a stage was because I completed it before going to a whole other path. The arena is a fun place to grind though if you need to but There's also prizes to be had and that's why I did a few of those.
Has Image & Form ever done something that wasn't awesome? Not that I can remember.
@JHDK yes. This game. It’s really, really poor.
This is awesome. I played the game non-stop when it came out and finished it in a couple of days because it was so addictive. Left me wanting more so this is exactly the perfect addition. It's a really excellent game, would probably rank it as my second favourite SteamWorld game behind SteamWorld Heist.
@Spoony_Tech Same here. I ended up playing on the hardest difficulty because the others were a bit too easy and I don't recall ever needing to stop and grind.
@McDerbert The game is really good but I can understand how it's not for everyone. They did pick a topic that wouldn't get as much attention as their past games. However to call it poor just because you didn't like it is probably a poor choice of words. The game runs well, looks great, and gameplay works well too. If anything is lacking it would be the story.
Will totally play this through again! But I'll be skipping the nightmare mode, thanks. Had enough trouble with the end game as it was.
@Kimyonaakuma
How great are they? I mean...you did forget.
