About the Game


All is not well on the waves— a water crisis is brewing! Mysteriously, this precious resource has become deadly, corroding metal limbs and mechanical hearts. As legendary Captain Leeway, it’s up to you and your ragtag crew of steambots to uncover the source of this threat and save botkind before it’s too late!

TURN-BASED STRATEGY AT ITS BEST

Dive into an upgraded tactical experience that builds on the beloved gameplay of SteamWorld Heist. Every move matters as you plan your turns, position your crew, and carefully aim each shot. Ricochet bullets off walls and use your surroundings to outsmart enemies, but remember—victory hinges on a well-thought-out strategy, not just a quick trigger finger.

Equip your steambots for every strategy—whether you prefer a sharpshooting sniper or a hammer-wielding bruiser. Unlock new crewmates, jobs, abilities, and gear to perfect your team for each mission.

DIVE INTO A HANDCRAFTED WORLD
Immerse yourself in a beautifully crafted world filled with unique environments, eccentric characters, and a captivating story. And yes, Steam Powered Giraffe is back with an all-new soundtrack that will stick with you long after you’ve docked your ship. Plus, with over 30 hours of gameplay, your adventure will be as vast as the ocean itself!
