Difficulty Summary

SteamWorld Build offers an accessible experience with pockets of challenge that keep things interesting.

Why Players Find It Difficult

Players describe the challenge in this game as coming mainly from a few specific areas:

• Players are punished for poor decisions more than poor reflexes
• Progress depends on planning and system understanding
• Some sections require experimentation before the correct approach becomes clear
• Limited resources force careful decision-making throughout

Who Will Find It Difficult

SteamWorld Build is suitable for a wide range of players. Newcomers may hit a few friction points, but should be able to progress with some persistence.
