Randomized worlds with emergent gameplay.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/steamworld_dig][/url]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. It's a rich world of steam-driven robots, inspired by Steampunk and Western themes. Explore an underground world full of secrets, treasure, and terrors. Uncover the remnants of human civilization, a degenerate race of dynamite-wielding troglodytes.The game comes with full X360 controller support.

Get SteamWorld Dig for only $5.99 on GOG.com. The 40% off special release discount offer lasts only until Sunday, February 16, at 10:59AM GMT.

Looks really cool.

Is there some reliable review somewhere on net or even better have anyone played it?
Posted February 14, 2014
I saw this some while ago and thought it looked interesting, then completely forgot about it again...

Have anyone tried it?

I still didn't grasp what "metroidvanian" means, but apparently this:

Great release! SteamWorld Dig has been on my wishlist for quite a while, but this time you were quick enough to release it on GOG before I'd buy it from the Humble Store, and the 40% discount is a nice incentive to get it here instead! :)

Played it on 3DS and enjoyed it, great music and atmosphere. Not sure how it will fare on PC, but the controls were pretty tight on hand-held. It isn't the longest game, only took me about 6 hours or so to finish, but you are rated on a number of things at the end such as loot collected and time taken, so could always go through it again and try to get better ratings.

Overall I thought it was pretty good, but I haven't picked it up since I finished it, although I will probably play through it again at some point.

It originated on the 3DS, and I played through it there. It doesn't do anything particularly impressive, as such, but it's extremely good at what it does do, and the dig/loot/return/sell/upgrade loop is highly addictive.

Dunno if the PC version's expanded at all, but on the 3DS version, I got through it in seven and a half hours, and I do still have an itch to go back for another playthrough.

Miniterraria?

It actually looks great. I will definitely consider, but Eschalon has my eye.

It looks an awful lot like Spelunky.
Posted February 14, 2014
looks like more generic shovelware to me.

I must be getting either old or maybe im just a grumpy old bastard.

It certainly looks nice enough, and is probably solid fun. I think I must've just played enough puzzle-gather-upgrade-repeat platformers in my life now. But still, amazed at all the bounty GOG is releasing today!
