Some will give way immediately, while others will take multiple hits to destroy. There are also many different types of rock to dig through. Large rocks will fall on you if you 're not careful, potentially crushing resources, but they can also clear chunks of earth below them. Enemies pose an immediate threat, and you can either risk taking them on for rewards or avoid them to preserve your health.

This time around, you play as a Steambot named Dorothy who sets off on a mission to discover what happened to him, and in the process uncovers that things go way deeper than she ever imagined.Īrmed with a handy pickaxe, a backpack and a lantern to light the way, Dorothy starts digging downward in search of clues.

Taking place in the same world as the first SteamWorld Dig game, it drops players into a western steampunk world. It perfectly blends the gratifying collect-and-sell aspect from Animal Crossingwith the exploratory intrigue of Metroidgames and the puzzle-solving complexity of a Professor Laytongame into a neat, super playable package.

Yes, the game is also available on PC, as well as the PlayStation 4 and Vita, but something about it feels classically Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildhas some strong competition for the most addictive game on the Nintendo Switch in SteamWorld Dig 2.
