\"\"<\/a>Earth\u2019s resources have been nearly depleted in the future, so now you must go and deplete other planets\u2019 resources in Super Mining Mechs.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of a sequel\/updated version of a game I reviewed about a year ago<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Use a robot drill to search for treasure underground in 2D space.\u00a0 It kind of reminds me of Steamworld Dig mixed with a bit of Terraria and Dig Dug.\u00a0 Super Mining Mechs is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

On the surface, you can talk to people who will give you missions.\u00a0 Complete those to unlock new blueprints for parts for your mech, which you can build with money and resources and they\u2019ll make you move and dig faster, and hold more stuff.\u00a0 Other people will give you money or empty out the dirt in your machine so you can drill some more.\u00a0 You can also purchase items like bombs and platforms to dig on.\u00a0 You can travel to other planets, too!\u00a0 When you reach certain digging milestones, you may come across an underground mine you can use as a base camp so you don\u2019t have to go all the way to the surface to do all this stuff.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve played the first game, you\u2019ll know what to expect here.\u00a0 Just more of the same.<\/p>\n

Play control is simple, just move down and left and right to dig and collect goods.\u00a0 You can press buttons to use bombs and other items, although I found they don\u2019t explain that very well.\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the problems with the game, as well as the text being too small and gameplay being too slow and repetitive.\u00a0 But if you liked the first game, here\u2019s more of that for you.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Super Mining Mechs is rated E for Everyone with ESRB descriptors of Mild Fantasy Violence and Mild Language.\u00a0 I really didn\u2019t notice any bad language in the text and violence just consists of using bombs to blow up dirt.\u00a0 Reading skill is needed and younger gamers may find it too slow and repetitive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
