![]() However, you as the player have to be creative with these tools to get Dorothy where you need her to go. As the game gives you all the tools you need to find a cog or reach a platform. SWD2 has that same speed and fluidity and if you’re better at the game than me, I’m sure you could fly around the Steamworld without touching the ground! With the new equipment emerges new puzzles. It reminded me of the Batman Arkham City, where you could fly around the whole city without touching the ground. With the jetpack and hook shot, moving around under the Steamworld is nothing but a joy. The way Dorothy moves really stood out to me in this game, especially later in the game when you have unlocked most of her upgrades. When I could, I tried my hardest to find the artefacts as they unlock more perks to spend my cogs on! I was always incentivised to do the dungeons because I wanted the cogs to upgrade Dorothy’s perks. It means players have a choice, rewarding the players that put more time and effort into the game. It’s great that Image & Form Games added all of these options into the game. However, if you really want to test your skill, you can look for the artifacts that are cunningly hidden in the dungeons. The cogs are the reward for beating the puzzle in the dungeon. Each one has one or two cogs in it and an artifact. There’s also different levels of difficulty to each dungeon. Each one can be beat on skill alone, but if (like me) you’re not that great at platformers, you can ignore a dungeon and come back to it when you have more upgrades. This is because they are designed for both experienced and new platform players. Nearly all of them are optional, there are just a few that the game directs you to, as they have upgrades essential to gameplay or the story in them. Cogs are mostly hidden in the game’s various dungeons and caves.ĭungeons and caves are done perfectly in SWD2. To obtain these perks, the player must find cogs in the Steamworld. Maybe you want to get the most cash for ores, or make Dorothy a tank by increasing her armour bonuses, with the perks you can build your own unique Dorothy. I think they are great because they allow each player to create their own, individual build for Dorothy. Perks are like passive upgrades to Dorothy. The second upgrade mechanic is perks to help Dorothy on her search for Rusty. Abilities like her water gun, armour, pick and lantern can all be upgraded, giving you more health or making your mining more efficient. The money is used to upgrade Dorothy’s equipment. These can be traded in at Barnacle Jones’s shop in El Machino (the main hub in the game) for money. The first is to dig as deep as you can into the Steamworld and mine precious ores, minerals and resources. There are two different ways to upgrade Dorothy in the game. Steamworld Dig 2 has a number of different mechanics that perfectly fit together and complement each other. The spirit is called Fen and he accompanies you on your quest to find Rusty and unravel the mystery behind the unusual earthquakes. An epic battle ensues resulting in Dorothy freeing a sadistic, and quite amusing, machine spirit from the old, evil machine. The cult awakens an ancient machine which Dorothy must defeat. Instead she finds a mysterious cult, messing with technology they don’t understand. However, inside the temple there is no sign of Rusty. The rumbles cause an earthquake and open up an entrance to an ancient temple that Dorothy decides to explore in the hopes of finding her friend. On her journey to find Rusty, Dorothy experiences some strange rumblings under the Earth. Rusty’s mysterious disappearance followed after his battle in Vectron, deep under the Steamworld. You play as Dorothy, a steam bot searching for her friend Rusty. Possibly the best Metroidvania on the Switch, Steamworld Dig 2 (SWD2) will have you going full steam ahead to beat it!
