Steamworld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech revealed, a fantasy card based RPG (2019, Switch with others to come)
- Thread starter Kalor
- Start date
Just a observation:
Dig = Wild West
Heist = Sci-Fi
Quest = Fantasy
So what style is left for them)

Game style and the title make me think of Adventure Quest with the 2D RPG tall characters, but I dig it. Will love to see what they will do with this genre and where it will go next.
Gothic or Victorian would be cool to see.
I've never had any interest whatsoever in card-based games, but I'd follow these devs into hell... so I guess I'll be finding out what I think of these types of games after actually having given one a chance.
I can't say I expected a card game as the next thing from this studio, but they've earned the benefit of the doubt from me so I'll definitely give it a shot.
I'm gonna say before Heist for sure, and possibly before Steamworld Dig 1, purely because Middle Ages/Fantasy stuff come before cowboys stuff in my mind.

I could easily see it taking place
on a new planet and being the latest in the timeline
Have you checked out this game? Not sure If it's on consoles though.

Do all these Steamworld games take place in the same universe? Are the devs building a mythology for this series?
Tower Defense was already used for Steamworld. It's easily forgotten, but I recommend it.
Gothic horror text adventure ala Sunless Sea?
I would love it but it probably wouldn't sell very well.
So a Steamworld take on Slay the Spire? I'm down.. but I wished it strayed a bit from the formula.. but I've loved everything they've done and Heist and Dig 2 were amazing games.
My thoughts exactly.
I appreciate that the devs want to try out a bunch of different genres, but Heist was so damn good.
So long as card decks aren't a random loot boxes or gacha, I'm in. Steam World games are awesome.
The fans spoke and told them they want an RPG. That's what they're giving us. They can only do so much.
I hope it'll be as unique in its genre as SteamWorld Heist was in its own. Also, everyone, go play Heist in preparation for Quest!
Do we have how many hours the campaign is? I know SWD2 is 10-15 hours, which is a good length for a metroidvania style game. But with RPGs, if it can be 25-30 hours, that would be great.
Liked Dig and Heist and the art style continues to hold up in this, but this type of game isn't my cup of tea.
Glad they are continuing this universe with different genres. A sprite based FPS would be beautiful in this art style.

As with every one of their games, this looks unique and fucking amazing!! They always put a twist on conventions of genres and I love it!! Also, HELL YES to card based turn based battles. That's some Baten Kaitos shit which I loved and is way too rare in rpgs. Day 0 - these guys can literally do no wrong with me :)
god this looks so good
Heist is their best game BY FAR but I am far more excited for this than a potential sequel to that title

I've seen quite a bit of card based games coming up lately but what is it that makes them card based, really? I know, it's a weird question. Let me put it this way: Let's say those cards are actions or skills and the place that they're put on screen is an action/skill bar. The "deck" is then basically a loadout of said skills which you can modify out of combat.
This isn't specifically aimed at this game. Just that I've been seeing a trend of replacing skill slots mechanic (what we all knew for years) with card graphics and not much mechanics beyond that about actual deck building, and calling it a card game or a card-based combat game.

They can't just recklessly namedrop Battle Network and Baten Kaitos like that. šš¼
I'm sure they're working on that too. Heist was followed by Dig 2. I feel like this team enjoys switching it up.
