SteamWorld Dig 2 takes place in a colourful world inspired by Western movies. "Is there such a thing as something too western-y?" Image & Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson wondered to me over email. If you look at the game, apparently not.

The first SteamWorld Dig was a sleeper hit on the 3DS for development studio Image & Form, selling over a million copies across all platforms, according to Image & Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson.
Even with those numbers, its launch was "nowhere near that of SteamWorld Dig 2," which has also been a success for the studio. Three factors contributed to the follow-up's success: better design, a close relationship with Nintendo, and the Switch's coolness.
How important is the design of game icons, the visual indicators of the titles available to launch from our consoles' dashboards? A number of Switch owners are very particular about the colourful squares that show up on their home screens. They're calling for changes, and developers are listening.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is a game about exploring and finding secrets. There's a plot, too, and some fun characters, but for the most part you dig in caves and look for treasure. I could do it forever.
