About the game
What you do in a play session
Heavy Steam puts you in command of a steam titan, a massive war machine in a steampunk universe filled with action. As a pilot, you’ll strategically use steam resources to complete scenario objectives, which often involve defeating your opponents in epic battles. Customize your titan by choosing robots, pilots, and weapons, and carefully plan how to use your energy to move, attack, or defend. The combat is abstract and easy to master, but events, terrain cards, and other elements ensure every game feels fresh. With multiple game modes and focused scenarios, Heavy Steam offers constant challenges for fans of strategy and action. Ready to face the heat of battle?
