We can’t claim that the original Steampunch was anything to write home about, with our review taking particular umbrage with the fact that the game was defined as ‘challenging’, when it was anything but. However, Afil Games are back with the sequel to this rootin’, tootin’ platformer, taking the action to a whole new level in Steampunch: Lost Tombs.
Civilizations Lost to Time
Now available on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, Steampunch: Lost Tombs ramps up the action to 11, featuring all new levels, gameplay mechanics and more in this precision-based platformer.
Set across 30 levels taking you on a sandy adventure through Incan and Aztec ruins, underwater temples, and a robot-ruled desert, each level builds upon the last in terms of difficulty, with new enemies and obstacles being added.
With the ability to dash in eight directions, the goal of Steampunch: Lost Tombs is to avoid oncoming attacks by any means necessary, as you collect relics, unlock portals, and raid tombs – sound familiar?
Key Features
- Skilful Platforming Action: This is a platformer that demands accurate and timely movements from the player to navigate its challenges.
