Ant Workshop and publisher Wales Interactive have together released a new trailer for Into the Slimy Mines which reminds us of the release date.
The trailer promotes the May 29th release date, and says: “A roguelike tower defense with a card-driven twist. Build your deck, carve out tunnels, and deploy defences directly into the path of the swarm. Rank up your chosen Guild and rescue your Dwarven crew to get off this frackin’ slime-infested moon!”
Check out the trailer below:
Into the Slimy Mines is the follow up, of sorts, to the superb Into the Restless Ruins, which we adored, saying “Into the Restless Ruins effortlessly combines dungeon building and dungeon crawling into a Roguelike package that I couldn’t put down.” in our review.
Into the Slimy Mines is a roguelike tower defense. Working for Ironkilt Intergalactic Industries is not easy, especially when you crash your mining vessel and lose all of your crew on a slime infested moon!
Rescue your crew and return your ore filled cargo before the Boss hands over the Stout Hammer to a more competent dwarf. Buy cards and booster packs, find crazy combos and dig the path to squish those frackin’ slimes. Dig, build defend – and get off this B&*@!n Moon!
Here’s some of the key features (from the Steam page):
- DIG TO VICTORY: Rescue your crew from 30 dig sites – 6 unique biomes, each with 5 increasingly difficult depths. Drag Dig cards to excavate new tunnels toward your missing crewmates. But be warned, these paths are also your enemy’s path! Eek!
- GROUNDBREAKING PLAYSTYLES: There are 3 unique guilds to choose from: ANVIL, WARHAMMER & PICKAXE. Pick from 6 upgradable Drill Rigs and customise with up to 30 different add-ons to match your play style and the location’s hazards.
- LORE DIVE: Dig deep into the story of Captain Firebeard and his intergalactic Dwarven crew by rescuing them from the pesky slimes and collecting up to 20 datapads. Say hi to the ship’s AI, F.O.R.G.E for us.
- BUILD TO LAST: Upgrade your kit by placing another of the same card on top of them. Level 1 Cannon + Level 1 Cannon = Level 2 Cannon, the maths checks out! With 10 Buildings & 26 turrets, there’s a whole arsenal to upgrade.
- SLIME AFTER SLIME: Defend your rig from the incoming waves of slimes. Blast them away with 26 different turrets each with 3 upgrade levels, or slow them down with displacers and blockades.
- DWARF IN DISTRESS: Need a little extra help? There are 15 Gadget cards that can slow or blast groups of slimes and repair your buildings, mid-wave.
Into the Slimy Mines is coming to PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on May 29th.
