The original "SteamWorld Dig" game is a Metroidvania-influenced 2D side-scrolling indie adventure video game that was initially launched for the Nintendo 3DS back in August 2013. This was followed by a PC release of the game in December of the same year.
The first "SteamWorld Dig" told the story of Rusty, a "steambot" who inherited a mine from his uncle. At the start of the game, he claimed that he is not a miner by profession but is only compelled to take on the job at the old mining town out of "great need." In the process of digging through the earth, he gained wealth but he also unearthed an ancient world underground that is filled with treasure, secrets and danger.
The plot of its sequel "SteamWorld Dig 2," on the other hand, as published in Steam's website, reads:
"In search of her lost friend, a lone steambot and her unlikely companion must dig deep, gain riches and explore an underworld riddled with danger. But time is running short..."
"SteamWorld Dig 2" has no official release date yet, but the game sequel is expected to arrive sometime in the late summer or early fall of 2017.
