Image & Form Games has announced a Nintendo Switch port for the original SteamWorld Dig.
The original metroidvania-spelunking game will launch for the hybrid console on February 1st, for $9.99/ €9.99. Originally released back in 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS, the game was later ported to PC, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Xbox One, and the Wii U.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
SteamWorld Dig is a platform mining adventure with strong Metroidvanian influences. Take the role of Rusty, a lone mining steambot, as he arrives at an old mining town in great need. Dig your way through the old earth, gaining riches while uncovering the ancient threat that lurks below…
After making a huge impact on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, we’ve decided to bring SteamWorld Dig to PC / Mac / Linux. Introducing HD graphics, achievements and more, the game has been optimized for Steam!
Key Features
- A rich world of steam-driven robots, inspired by Steampunk and Western themes.
- Explore an underground world full of secrets, treasure and terrors.
