Games Asylum: "The key to making a compelling construction sim is ensuring players always have something to focus on, such as town planning and micromanaging citizens, or perhaps introducing something that requires intervention often. The fear of progress going awry when your back is turned can make an experience all the more addictive. The Station, developers of SteamWorld Build, have a clear understanding of this. The whole shebang is structured around flicking between four layers – above and deep below ground – which, eventually, all require your attention. Couple this with a strong premise and the allure of the SteamWorld brand, and it seems like a winning package."
Review - You shouldn’t come to SteamWorld Build looking to pile in hundreds of hours, but this is a likeable, bite-sized city creator.
