SteamWorld Build review: "An unusual mix but it works really well"

SteamWorld Build.

'As above, so below' - or so the old saying goes. It's an accurate description of what your mindset should be playing SteamWorld Build, as you balance the needs of your citizens above ground with the potential dramas lurking in the sub-surface mining levels below. For the series' first foray into city building, it's a confident opening, managing to offer up plenty of complexity on top of a mining adventure that's full of combat and unexpected consequences. It's an unusual mix but works really well for SteamWorld Build.
