Hard to say if I completed this or not. I played all the way through one map on story mode, but started a second run on a new map.

Gameplay - A nice mix of city builder and dungeon keeper, though both halves feel a little light. On normal difficulty, I didn't really run into anything all that challenging. The only real gripe I have though is that it's really hard to do anything intelligent once you need to start building turrets. Your guards will run in guns blazing no matter what, so it's nearly impossible to do anything better than spam turrets.

Story - The story is pretty basic. No real issues, and it ties in nicely to the SteamWorld Dig stories if you've played those, but it's not why you'll be sticking around.

Aesthetics - It's a SteamWorld game. You know what you're getting, not that that's a bad thing. It's fun to watch your little robots tromp around town, but it's hard to tell if they're doing anything meaningful. (I think they do actually carry resources around.)
