Not only have they kept the SteamWorld name and steampunk aesthetics intact since the original SteamWorld Dig (and to a lesser extent, SteamWorld: Tower Defense on DSiWare), they aren’t afraid to branch the franchise out into new and exciting genres. 2015’s SteamWorld Heist saw them flex their muscles at strategic turn-based shooting while SteamWorld Dig 2 is a near-perfect Metroidvania. So enter SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech, the newest entry in the series that also, predictably, sees the developer once again trying something different — this time, a turn-based roleplaying card battler. So how does it fare, you ask? Unsurprisingly, it’s another home run for Image & Form.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Fsteamworld-quest-hand-gilgamech-review\u002F","2019-05-08","86",86,{"id":69,"author":70,"outlet":73,"summary":79,"review_url":80,"review_date":13,"original_score":81,"normalized_score":82},51382,{"id":71,"name":72},4239,"Andrew McMahon",{"id":74,"logo":75,"name":76,"website_url":77,"score_format":78},66,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTwinfinite.png","Twinfinite","https:\u002F\u002Ftwinfinite.net\u002F","5","At first glance, SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech shouldn’t work.
