What is SteamWorld Heist II?

In this side-view, turn-based tactics game, Captain Leeway and a crew of steambots investigate why water has begun corroding their bodies. You position crew members and aim shots that can bounce off walls during missions. Between missions, you steer a submarine through real-time ship battles, search for treasure, and change your crew's jobs and gear.

For you if...

+you enjoy planning shots and experimenting with crew builds
+you want exploration between turn-based tactical missions

Not for you if...

−you dislike missions that pressure you to move quickly
−you want only turn-based combat, without real-time ship battles
