SteamWorld Build

SteamWorld Build Mechanized DLC

Thunderful and The Station today unveiled new Mechanized DLC for SteamWorld Build, and it should be launching soon.

The DLC lets players explore new mines, solve puzzles, construct new buildings, and encounter new enemies alongside a new companion: The Mech. By working with this companion, they’ll be able to escape from the planet, as they are tailored to solve any puzzling problem players may encounter by moving, pulling and lifting, due to their brute, raw strength.

SteamWorld Build Mechanical Meadows update

A new “Mechanical Meadows” update just dropped for SteamWorld Build.

This is a seasonal patch for the game that ushers in spring. It comes with 11 player placeable decors, 5 environment decors, 10 mine decors, 3 agent decors, 1 tumbleweed, and 1 custom light and post.

SteamWorld Headhunter put on hold

As part of its latest financial results, Thunderful CEO Martin Walfisz commented on the sales of SteamWorld Build. While we don’t have specific data, SteamWorld Build “fell slightly short of expectations”.

Switch was actually referenced specifically here. Walfisz said “the genre of this game has not really appealed to our most dedicated target audience and it has not been well-suited to the Switch console, which has traditionally been a key platform for SteamWorld games.”
