STEAMWORLD DIG 2 DOROTHY UPGRADE
You chip away at tiles with the pickaxe, some bits of ground taking more hits than others and some being indestructible, while looking for precious gems with which to upgrade your bot-bod. This is a deep tunnel of earthy platforming supported by metroidvania crossbeams. There’s nothing particularly new in how Dot goes about her mining. To get ever-deeper she has to dig, fight insects, plant bombs, and most importantly, hookshooooot. But I’m glad to have picked up its sequel, Steamworld Dig 2, in which a friendly robot called Dorothy goes looking for her uncle Rusty, the hero of the first game, in the deep mines beneath a western-style town. Despite Steamworld Dig earning John’s admiration (so much so that he also used the comedy word “aplomb” when describing it) I had never played it.

Have you got a hookshot? I bet you don’t. As the robots explore space in order to set up a new civilization, Dorothy remains hopeful that she will one day be reunited with Fen.I’ve got a hookshot. Dorothy manages to defeat Rosie and rescue Rusty, only for the energy source to become unstable, prompting Fen to stay behind while she warps the two to safety, allowing them to escape on a rocket with the other El Machino residents before the planet explodes. In actuality, the machines were built by Rusty to prevent Rosie from harnessing a powerful energy source to get rid of all robots. Dorothy goes to destroy these machines, only to discover that Rosie had lied to her. While searching the mines for Rusty while also hearing rumors of him turning into a monstrous machine, Dorothy comes across a group of humans led by Rosie, who claims that mysterious machines are triggering earthquakes. Along the way, she comes across Fen, a remnant of the Vectron that Rusty had previously fought, who joins Dorothy as a navigator. The story takes place inbetween the events of SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist.Following Rusty's disappearance at the end of SteamWorld Dig, Dorothy, a robot who he had befriended, travels to the mining town of El Machino in order to search for him. More blueprints for upgrades become available to the player by either increasing their level by killing enemies or completing quests, or by finding artifacts hidden in the mines. Each of the weapons also have perks that can be activated by installing Upgrade Cogs found in secret areas. Any resources found can be traded in for cash in the game's hub world, where the player can upgrade their health, weapons, and abilities. As the game progresses, Dorothy can gain new abilities and weapons such as pressure bombs, a hookshot, and a pneumatic arm that can punch through rock. Like the original game, gameplay largely involves exploring a vast underground mine, coming up against enemy creatures while also finding various resources as the player digs their way downwards.
