Gonna wait for reviews just in case, but there's a 95% chance i pick this up on Friday. I've been waiting for Slay the Spire to hit Switch since before this was even announced, and shitty luck for them, this will fit the bill nicely.

Looks like you can have a party of four, but it looks like there are more than four possible characters.
There are many more characters than that, according to the AMA.
What your source regarding the light on story thing?
This. I wish I were seeing more hype for this on Era. SteamWorld Dig 2 and SteamWorld Heist are two of my favorite games of the gen.
Very excited. Not sure if I'll get it day 1, since Dragon's Dogma is coming out before it (and I'm still in the midst of the turn-based FFX), but will definitely grab it in the next month.
Oh, that's fantastic to hear. Image & Form hasn't disappointed me so far so I am definitely getting this.
That trailer. It was 99% card battles. If they had interesting towns and events and exploration and dialogue it would have been featured. The game looks all in on card battles.
Nothing about it seems "story light"

I hope Game Explain does a preview or hands-on, but with it being out in a few days, maybe just a review.
Yeah. My caps wasn't clear. It was like "YEAH, MORE CHARACTERS, HADN'T SEEN THAT, AWESOME!"
FYI, a few people were worried in the eShop thread this game would be too short, but Image & Form has it pegged at around 20-25 hours for the average player. Seems like a good length.

I guess I don't count characters standing around chattering as good story. The 'deep lore' of Steamworld isn't intriguing to me. A good RPG story should be filled with animated major set piece moments and a wide variety of activities. If the story is delivered by chat, it's an instant turn off for me. Game developers are notoriously terrible writers.
Really conflicted about this. I will get it to support the studio because I think Image & Form are amazing, but I'm not a fan of the genres they've branched the Steam World franchise into thus far. Well, I wasn't a tower defense guy either, to be fair, but I don't like turn-based strategy or card battlers. I'm sure they're great games but they're genres that are simply not for me.
IGN compared it to Paper Mario:
There's exploring for secrets and talking to NPCs.
Not sure what you are expecting then. It's not like the previous Steamworld games were full of cutscenes without chattering or deep environmental storytelling. Even less sure why you want heavy story games if you think games usually have bad writing, but you do you.
Dig was good and Heist was great, so i'm looking forward to this. I&F have been able to seamlessly delve into multiple genres so far with style.
I'll most likely be getting this, but probably dropping it once Slay The Spire releases on Switch.
Quest is a 20 hour RPG you'll play through once. Slay The Spire is a roguelite you'll go through many times. Both are card games, but are quite different beyond that.
Day 1. Steamworld + Cards + Turn based RPG + beautiful artstyle = 100% my kind of game.
Also liked that bit of Sword Magic, channeling Steiner and Vivi there. ;)
