How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About SteamWorld Heist
Turn-based 2D strategy with steam-powered robots: you raid procedurally generated ships and, instead of hit percentages, you aim every shot yourself and bounce your bullets. You can even shoot enemies' hats off and keep them.
