Review: Retro Faith’s Mining Mechs Switch Review

Mining Mechs, developed by one-man indie game dev Delayed Victory (Barry Young) and published by Eastasiasoft, has made its way from Steam to consoles, including the Nintendo Switch. The game follows a story-driven resource-management puzzle gameplay style, resembling a mix of a point-and-click adventure and Boulder Dash.

In Mining Mechs, players explore underground caves with a digging mech to uncover valuable resources and strange noises. The mined resources can be sold to upgrade to better mechs. The game offers a relaxing experience with a focus on mining and upgrading tech.

The game’s pixel art style gives it a retro 90s PC/Amiga vibe, complemented by a catchy electro pop soundtrack. Mining Mechs may not appeal to everyone, especially those seeking fast-paced arcade action, but it offers a laid-back gameplay experience with a touch of strategy.
