Hey everyone! Hope you've all had a great weekend. Today is the start of Steam Next Fest, and I'm super excited for the Mining Merchant Demo to be included in this event.

Hey everyone! Today Valve has been generous enough to include Mining Mechs as today's "Deal of the Day" on Steam.

Mine in singleplayer or with up to 8 players in online co-op and unravel the storyline as you make your way down.
