SteamWorld Build
Vibes: City management plus mining opportunities with bug battles
Availability: 2023 on Windows, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
What if you want your farming to be a bit…dirtier? Perhaps…subterranean? SteamWorld Build is a city-sim game coming out in 2023 that sets you off to work building infrastructure, managing NPC happiness, and various technological upgrades to take your settlement to the next level. Eventually you’ll get the option to dig below the planet’s surface, collecting mineral resources in order to expand your settlement.
Digging deep into the planet has its risks too, such as some nasty bugs who aren’t too happy to see you. The dual nature of SteamWorld as both a mining and city sim ought to make for some nice variety to keep things fresh.
