The player takes on the role of Captain Piper Faraday, a space outlaw who leads a band of steambot mercenaries on missions across hostile sectors.
The crew boards enemy vessels to raid resources, recruit allies, and stand against threats that endanger their kind.
Each mission unfolds as a self-contained scenario where the player must maneuver through corridors, eliminate enemies, and collect loot before escaping.
Gameplay is presented from a 2D side-on perspective.
Characters are positioned across gridless ship interiors and move using action points that govern walking, climbing, or taking cover.
Combat is turn-based, with characters using firearms and melee attacks aimed manually by the player.
Precise aiming allows bullets to ricochet off walls or ceilings, enabling trick shots to bypass cover.
Different weapons alter the aiming mechanic, with some offering laser sights and others relying purely on player skill.
Crew members each have unique classes, attributes, and abilities.
By completing missions and defeating enemies, characters gain experience points that unlock passive bonuses or active skills such as improved critical shots or grenades.
Loot collected from missions can be sold or equipped, with items ranging from pistols and rifles to explosives and stat-boosting gear.
Inventory management is central, as each bot has limited slots that force choices between weapons, armor, and support items.
Progression is mission-based, with the player navigating a sector map and selecting contracts to advance the story or earn resources.
Difficulty can be adjusted on a mission-by-mission basis, offering greater rewards for taking higher risks.
Losing crew members in battle reduces the team’s effectiveness but does not end the game, enco
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks SteamWorld Heist for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding SteamWorld Heist to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2015.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
