Since I’ve not bought it for myself I couldn’t say. I loved the first one, but I’ll get a copy for myself at a later date.

This is the order the games go by timeline. Very close to the release order, except SteamWorld Quest.

SteamWorld Tower Defense
SteamWorld Dig: A Fistful of Dirt
SteamWorld Dig 2
SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech
SteamWorld Heist

This is why the bundle market stops me from buying many games now. I’ve so many games that I hold out on buying games I really want to play (such as this game). Hopefully this will appear in a bundle before Christmas, but if it doesn’t, I’ll just have to play some other game I really wanted and forgot to play instead 😄
