Sorry this post is a week late, been busy with real life stuff.
How does this game compare to the more recent Steam World games?
Is Steam World: Heist a procedurally generated roguelike or a singleplayer game with a specific constructed sequence of levels?
It looks really good, I have heard good things about most of the Steam World games I just have never actually given one a try.
Heist has a story and preset levels. Each level is usually a different ship you have to board and clear. They’re all connected by a sort of star map. The objectives for each level are preset. Though, the level layouts may be generated. I’ve rerun a couple and I remember the layouts being a bit different.
SteamWorld Dig 1&2 are platformers. I really enjoyed them. The gameplay for Heist is different but it still feels like the same quality.
