## Review summary

SteamWorld Heist on iOS is praised for its deep, replayable turn-based strategy, charming art and music, and a one-time purchase with no ads. However, it faces compatibility and update issues: screen scaling on newer devices, audio inconsistencies, lack of ongoing updates, and missing mobile content like Fen/DLC. Core gameplay remains strong, but these shortcomings affect accessibility and long-term support.

### Pros

- Deep, replayable turn-based strategy with loot, varied weapons, and crew progression.
- Beautiful artwork and a memorable soundtrack with engaging characters.
- One-time purchase with no ads or microtransactions, offering uninterrupted play.
- Plays well on iPad with good touch controls and readable UI.

### Cons

- Not full screen on newer iPhone/iPad devices, causing black bars and readability issues.
- Audio problems: some users report broken sounds or sound cutting out.
- Lack of ongoing updates / updates not keeping up with newer devices and screen sizes.
- Content not available on iOS (Fen cannot be obtained; DLC/expansions not available on mobile).
