SteamWorld Build on Steam
store.steampowered.com
In SteamWorld Build, you must escape a dying planet by building a mining town to dig up vital long-lost technology. Meet the ever-growing needs of your citizens, trade resources and defend your mine from the creatures that lurk below.

I gave it a try the other day and really enjoyed it! Really nice cartoon art style / setting. The above-ground portion of the game feels like a solid clone of the Anno series games. Then below ground adds a fun twist of exploration / resource gathering into the mix.

Really looking forward to when it releases now!

      Same! Dig 2 was sooooo good. And there aren’t many like it really. Searching for all the powerups, making notes about spots on the map. Loved it. Dig 3 would be an instant purchase for me, I hope they get around to it next after Build.

      I would have been pretty close to perfectly satisfied just adding an “endless mode” DLC that randomized areas and did something to make power up progression feel bigger. I used to play the hell out of the browser mining game motherlode and this is the first example of mining feeling kind of similar that I can think of.

        Thanks for unlocking a memory for me! I played so much motherlode — I think my friend and I discovered it in the school computer lab. It had a great soundtrack too!
