Tonight, Thunderful hosted a live stream of announcements, including New SteamWorld game and a release date for The Gunk from the creators of SteamWorld. They also sold many of their games, including giving away classic platformer SteamWorld Dig 2 for free for the next 24 hours.
You can download SteamWorld 2 for free to continue Steam and GOG between now and November 11 at 11am EST / 4pm GMT. You should, because SteamWorld Dig 2 is excellent.
Brendy writes: “Platform controls are pleasant and smooth (you can climb any flat wall just by repeatedly jumping up) and leveling up is a steady, mellow slope, not must be a terrible grind” after release. “Most of that is simply kid-friendly play, but it’s also ‘adult-friendly.’ There’s something soothing about spending twenty minutes of your evening searching for the next robot power. your follow or the next milestone in this lighthearted tale of greedy cyborgs and goofy mutants.”
Thunderful also sells the entire publisher On steam and on GOG. That includes 80% off SteamWorld Heist and SteamWorld Dig 1, and 65% off SteamWorld Quest, all of which are equally great. (They also make some non-SteamWorld games, but check it out.)
As mentioned above, Thunderful also announced the next SteamWorld game at the show, and it’s another new genre: co-op, third-person action-adventure. There were a bunch of other announcements during the full Thunderful World live stream presented by Mark Hamill, which you can see here.
