Following its recent announcement at Indie World, SteamWorld Heist II has received a brand new trailer that takes a deep dive into the upcoming title’s gameplay.
Of course, we get a glimpse of the back-to-back combat, including a delicious tease of ricochet shooting. However, the real highlight of the announcement is the new job system in the game. By equipping teammates with certain weapons, you can determine what job they have and upgrade their abilities from there.
Next up, the enemies take center stage with an announcement detailing the types of enemies you’ll face and the strategy you’ll need to employ to defeat them. It’ll all be pretty familiar if you’ve played the first game, but gosh, it looks pretty awesome.
All in all, it’s a nice little showcase for the game, which is launching for the Switch on August 8, 2024. The animations are spot on and it’s really nothing like the SteamWorld games, aesthetically speaking. Only nice things.
