SteamWorld Heist II | Gameplay Deep Dive

[@jeremyhiebert8109]

So excited. This looks like the sequel we've been hoping for: keep the core mechanics that we already loved, bump up the visuals, give us new characters and new locations, and add some depth to the upgrade systems to keep us coming back for more. Bravo!

[@MagicTurtle643]

So the reaper class is Sally. THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

[@jeremyhiebert8109]

YES...LET'S GO

[@StrongandGrand]

Reaper and Flanker equals death!

[@MagicTurtle643]

@@StrongandGrand I never excelled with Payroll or Dora for whatever reason. I relied on sharpshooters and Sally basically. I beat Elite mode that way. Good memories.

[@StrongandGrand]

@@MagicTurtle643 I loved Payroll and Dora on the team. Treasure seeking + high movement = quick clears for farming. As for boss fights, that's a different story.

[@MagicTurtle643]

@@StrongandGrand Yeah true. Dora's stun gun was always useful.

[@ty_sylicus]

Very nice! The original Steam Heist was an absolute blast so I'm confident this follow up will be a great time as well.

[@mrwho995]

Being able to mix and match abilities sounds like such fun! Will be amazing for replay value

[@jeremyhiebert8109]

Agreed, and the original Heist was already among my most replayed games...hundreds of hours across four platforms.

[@Bullminator]

Yeah its similar to octopath traveler system where you can have 2 jobs and combine them.

[@icebear80r]

Make me want to play Steamworld Heist again! My favourite Steamworld game. Can't wait for this sequal.

[@tomemaster1744]

Words cannot describe how hyped I am for this. Been playing all the Steamworld Games since Heist 2's reveal. Heist was my first Steamworld Game though back in the 3DS days!

[@loganmunier9798]

Prepare (prepare!), for boarding This heist (ha!) will be rewarding You can't stop us Grind us down or top us

[@markbratton111]

I love Heist 1! I can't wait for 2!

[@clamsion2202]

So now that we have confirmation that the blue guys are the Royal Navy, are they essentially an independent faction now that the Queen is dead, or did they get a new heir? Would be cool to see how the first game plays into this one, give how the first game’s theme briefly plays in this video

[@jemster38]

Absolutely loved the first game, gameplay's great and character design's awesome! This looks even better!

[@stephen1896]

I am SO EXCITED for this! It's a dream sequel as far as I'm concerned.

[@TheKirBoi]

I haven't been this hyped for as hyped for a game as I am now for a long while. Only real points of "concern" I see are that the "ragdolls" of scrapped bots don't seem to go flying all over the place, which was something I always found to be endlessly satisfying, and the fact that the new job system might end up taking away some of the identity of the new characters. Other than that I wish it was already in my hands so bad, and I'm honestly probably going to be buying it on multiple systems like I have with every other entry so far.

[@NintenGeeksMaria]

Im so excited for this game! Jut recently bought the first one after watching the trailer for this one and I´ve loved it

[@polaris_draws]

You're going to be able to make some insane builds in this I can't wait. Imagine a flanker who can use heavy weapons... Curious about how Vectron plays into this, we've seen their weapons in footage already

[@Cracko298]

I'm assuming that we have to goto certain places on the map. Like the trailer said at around 03:57 Ratlers towards the north, meaning either we start off at East, West, or South, and we have 4 areas to go around to and complete, or we get 3 like last game. And we start off in the South, East, or West.

[@Dnedri]

I think Vectron would be like a a tough enemy to find. Probably would be hiding in the farthest points of the map & underwater.

[@stevenwidmark1952]

I saw Rabbit in the bar! My biggest concern was not seeing SPG back in the sequel. Heist 1 introduced me to the band and I can't express how happy I am that you brought back to Steamworld!

[@kass1089]

Can't wait :)

[@remyfate3005]

I'm nonstop playing this while Beatie boys - Sabotage is on the background.

[@JesseDylanMusic]

Can’t wait! Heist was my favorite steamworld game along with Gilgamech! Glad it’s on game pass-means I’ll be playing it release day

[@paQ75]

Uno de mis juegos favoritos. Gracias por volver a darle vida!!

[@tripleg6]

I'll watch this later. But now I'll say that is so good to be a Steamworld fans to this day. 😎

[@NaabiXx]

I just came to comment that i'm hiding and not watching any of the trailers for heist 2. And the reason for this is i'm already looking forward to it and i want to play it as pure as possible. Just wanted you to know :)

[@SteamWorldGames]

Aw, thanks for letting us know! We completely understand wanting to go spoiler-free!

[@aidanporter2576]

Yk how long I’ve been waiting for this

[@SteamWorldGames]

No need to wait anymore!

[@drd7of14]

One of my most played PSV games, can't wait to play on my PS5 😎

[@KingEntertainment17]

YES! I’m so excited, this can’t get here soon enough! Looks so good!

[@theluigiguyVODs]

This looks so GOOD I cannot WAIT! Can't wait for the lore dump next video!

[@gm08351]

the soundtrack sounds awesome in this one

[@benmcmanus4154]

OOOH EXCITE

[@joshogden1081]

Didn’t think I could get more excited. Release early on Switch please 😭

[@Lazirus951]

Looks great! You can already see how you may want AoE weapons for some encounters or high powered precision weapons for others. I love this studio, can't wait!

[@ssjdennis6058]

Can't wait to get back into this!

[@emperormegaman3856]

What a coincidence I discovered steamworld heist just a couple weeks ago. liking it so far.

[@theolong6689]

Love the customization options. But I want to know more about the ship combat.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

Poe having payrolls zoom and a sniper or explosive, dear god

[@lotny5492]

Level design was not mentioned but it looks like there will be more variety tha in the first one which is very good :). I really liked the first one and I can't wait to play this as well.

[@jonahrichard3615]

So happy to see Steam Powered Giraffe making a return! ❤

[@kpc1890]

Game is going to be dope

[@neonmarblerust]

Cool! Really liked the original and played it again recently

[@trashl0rd]

I was always hoping we'd get a sequel. I loved the first but it was a little too barebones. Can't wait.

[@Qwarky]

I'm so happy to see hats back.

[@nazokashii]

So cool :D also, love the script x3 thank you so much

[@abel9008]

Can't we play with the captain? I don't see it in any gameplay outside the submarine and that discourages because Piper was charismatic

[@TheOriginalSebacrush]

Steam World Dig 3 - WHEN?

[@vazk-thret]

Oh please give us the shiners that were teased last game...

[@mysterwhymedia]

This sounds terrific! It will be exciting to create more versatile characters. …no hint of there being any PvP/Vs mode, though, sadly. Still holding out hope for that…

[@schitzophia]

I'm so excited for this game! I loved the first one.

[@thegundampilot01]

YES!!!

[@Frg31]

Even more Awesome?? Hell yeah!!😆✌

I've wanted this sequel for so long!

[@whitedragon1204]

yay!

[@QORXamq]

Gameplay showed us Gunplay Job system (brawler engineer boomer sniper reaper frankler) Cogs system Enemies and a slight of the lore (You can make a combo with the job system)

[@kevincruz7958]

I love this! Daisy is my main, she's adorable. Can you call her Margarita in the spanish version? Bro Steammates! That word is genius. This is a day 1 purchase.

[@DougGay]

Day one purchase for sure. Cannot wait to play this gem.

[@carpediem4619]

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Polished and fun turn-based strategy with an excellent story. My only complaint is that the beginning gives off a bad impression. Poor intro narration (English) and limited gameplay as the story first takes off. Anyone who plays for 15 minutes may decide to return it, but they are really missing out if they do. Give it at least an hour or two. There are many many great improvements from the last game, including tactics, gunplay, abilities, and multiple stages of story to keep you engaged for 20+ hours. It is well worth the price. A fun game from one of the few developers left that make quality titles without the pay-to-play shenanigans. 10/10

[@Ghisteslohm139]

Do you still have to escape at the end of each level because an endless amount of enemies spawn? That is what pushed me away from the first Steamworld Heist.

[@tombotr]

I'm gonna be all over this like you-know-who on you-know-what!

Does characters have their own perks than just classes?

[@meugameb7567]

Parece estar mais profundo que o primeiro jogo e sistema de classes muito me agrada! Vai ter suporte para português do Brasil?

If it is confirmed that they will do the music?

[@Zuwer_WS]

This looks so cool

[@Roscar.]

W8ing

[@BigFresh37]

IS PIPER OKAY?????

[@tomassoejakto]

What I like from this showcase is the dev finally gave proper, easy-to-understand job names. I mean, SH1 has "Vanguard", "Bounty Hunter", "Flanker", what do they even mean??? And then, what I don't like from the first game is how you've progressed through the game far enough, and then find an absolutely OP new crew, but you had to level them up first before they can be useful. Such. A waste. Of time.

[@ProgrammerEA]

Thanks for Giraffe - Heist Ho! 😍😍😍😍😍🥰

[@garretwoeller7669]

Let's hope Quincy gets an arm back

[@wyomingsioux]

Loved the first game but found the weapon balance off. Turn-based combat favours mobility, judicious positioning, and efficient use of actions, yet some heavy weapons- like miniguns and certain grenade launchers- could not be fired if you moved, making them borderline useless (you don’t frequently start encounters in line of sight, so you have to reposition. Then you have to wait until the next turn to fire, which is terrible action economy). Some sniper weapons had the same limitation but could compensate to some extent through their laser sights, allowing you to make trick shots more easily. Both types of weapons were outclassed by guns that could be fired post-movement. Hopefully, the heavy weapons have been rebalanced to be more useful in the sequel.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

Ooooo yes, only the trailer and ign overview have info on the game Does whoever is running the channel know when the trailer song will be out, Spg said it would be some time before aug

[@alfredovirtual2861]

Un lanzallamas y un arma que dispare hielo son muy buenas ideas 💪🗿

[@mechanismstudios3459]

So excited 😁

[@StrongandGrand]

I noticed the Captain is missing an arm. I am hoping we get to unlock him! Let's find that arm!

[@Dnedri]

Actually you're right. In some frames (not in this video) we can see cap. Leeway with a second arm. I think Leeway would be playable at any point of the game and I think would've been cool if some character perks could've only unlocked through story progression, like in SWQ

[@StrongandGrand]

@@Dnedri Ah, good point. I noticed that, as well. This game better have DLC, I swear. I already know I'm gonna love it.

[@vernontk]

This looks so good!

[@chikensaregood9500]

take all my money now!!!!

[@KawaiiFoxita]

Let's gooooooooooooooo!

[@Leo_Rasmus]

Yeaaah

[@Bullminator]

Kinda wonder if you can beat the game with worst possible combos for jobs. (at least by how it sounds) Brawler + Boomer --) bad idea to get close if you wana boom Boomer + Reaper --) same for close combat Enginer + Flanker --) healers dont usualy get close to enemy as they have lower hp generaly Sniper + Brawler --) close combat sniper lol Reaper + ???? (maybe there are secret jobs) Flanker + i cant think of bad combo

[@Trialwolf]

I hope the EULA on this game is more consumer friendly than Steamworld Build, the original EULA on that game made me so nervous I refunded the game.

[@guyguy7213]

PAYROLLS DAUGHTER!!!???

[@flatlinerking]

So am I the only one who didn't touch build?

[@jeremyhiebert8109]

I don't think Build sales were great, so you're probably not alone. I tried it for a few hours and kept waiting for the fun to arrive. Gave up in frustration after getting stuck in endless menus, confusing controls, and feeling utterly lost.

[@mabec]

Ping me when its time

[@morkanz6998]

why not allow for co-op? 2 or even 4 players, 1 for each toon. ill never understand why these games do not allow co-op

[@privatkatze9186]

Can't wait! But does every frickin strategy and RPG game need a job system?!?

[@imkidfriday]

it's literally just classes.. and yes, i'd say every single rpg should have classes. you're complaining that theres depth to developing your characters? maybe RPGs aren't for you.

[@user-sv1fd9gm1e]

just give as dig 3

[@Chuck_vs._The_Comment_Section]

Well, I don't know, it seems degenerative to me that the sequel takes place in a more regressive setting (i.e. not in space). I had actually been looking forward to a sequel for many years and then such a disappointment is announced.

[@Prizm44]

I enjoyed Heist for a while, but got sick of hearing the same music track every time a battle started. Every single time. That's the main reason I stopped playing. I also find that procedurally-generated levels made my achievements a bit meaningless. If the level is too hard, just keep trying until you get an easier RNG level 🤷 And if you had a particularly hard level that you finally pulled off or used some unique skills for, you can't share that with anyone else who plays, since their version of the same level would've been different 😕 Makes for a rather lonely one-sided experience. I'm still open-minded about this sequel though, so we'll see.

[@acesquid6944]

SPG fans 👇

[@captain-game]

I love all of this BUT the art style. It's lost all of the uniqueness and greasiness that the digs, original heist and the quest had...

[@G_Trapper]

I'm a little disappointed with this sequel :(

[@thomaswittkowski8316]

Why? Care to elaborate? (I am very happy that there will be a Heist 2!)

[@G_Trapper]

@@thomaswittkowski8316 there is no team from the first part, the actions take place not in space but on a piece of land on which there is an ocean in which carobs swim, for now that’s all that worries me, I also waited a very long time for the continuation and it turned out to be not what I expected to see, maybe I I'll change my mind when I play it P.S. if anything my english is very bad so i translated through google translator

[@mohammed-mw3ms]

I hate turnbase games 🤦‍♂️

[@Aussie27Legend]

that's fine, but this game may not be for you then

[@harryfader8217]

I don't like it also but this game is special

[@jeremyhiebert8109]

Honestly, this was me until the first Heist...gateway drug.
