Commendable variety in enemy types, level design and stage mechanics make Steamworld Heist's tactical warfare more than decently entertaining, at least for a while, despite its somewhat clunky gameplay core being numbingly simplistic. The game's setting oozes charm with an atmospheric presentation and inspired artsyle, but the actual narrative fails to capitalize on it with a cast of forgettable characters and a dull plot that flows with freakishly boring linearity.
