About

Break ground on a new frontier as the planet dies around you…

The world is ending and you need to escape! Thankfully Astrid knows there is untapped technology deep in the mines that can help you. But in order to get to it, you’ll need to grow your Steambot town, manage your resources, open your mines and explore the shadowy depths below. Have you got what it takes to escape this crumbling rock? 



SteamWorld Build is a casual city-building and dungeon-management cross-over set in the SteamWorld universe. It offers a unique and accessible entry to both genres, alongside charming hand-drawn art and a delightful soundtrack.

  • Intuitive City Building: Easily construct and manage your city with simple controls and a user-friendly interface.

  • Dungeon Exploration: Navigate hand-crafted mines, overcome puzzles, and claim valuable treasures. But beware! Dangers lurk in the darkness.

  • Strategic Resource Management: Balance your resources to ensure your city thrives and your residents stay productive.

  • Charming SteamWorld Aesthetic: Immerse yourself in the beloved SteamWorld universe with its distinctive art style and whimsical characters.

  • Relaxing Gameplay: Enjoy a laid-back yet fulfilling experience with four difficulty levels, five base maps, and six additional themed maps to explore, including:

    - Jingle Bolts

    - Dorado Quest

    - Mechanical Meadows

    - Crash Site

    - Steam Wave

    - Skull Valley
