Pixel Heist is an awesome little rendition of cops and robbers with online multiplayer support!
It features 2 teams (obviously) with two different objectives.
One team (robbers) needs to execute the perfect bank heist and get away with it. The other team (cops) needs to prevent it!
Robbers need to break into the safe using the explosives and steal the goods. Then escape without getting killed. Alternatively, they can just kill all the cops as they have limited respawns.
Cops need to find the robbers (they can be disguised) and kill them without harming the innocent.
The robbers need to smuggle and sneak around with an armed bomb to the security vault in order to blow it up and get the goods, which is usually cash or expensive jewelry. They can enter from the front door, back door, or even climb up on the roof to break in. The cops need to watch all entrances in order to stop the push. The robbers may be best splitting up and entering from all entrances.
In order to hide from the cops, robbers have the ability to disguise themselves as an NPC or civilian. This leads to some pretty good laughs and they try to blend in with the crowd and pretend. But in order to do this, they need to kill some employees in order to steal their clothes. And they need to do it without getting noticed.
That’s right- you get guns.
As cute as the graphics are, everyone is armed with a gun. You shoot at the opposing team in order to take them down.
With all the different plans of attack, entrances, and strategies each team can use, no two games are the same! The robbers can even set plants on fire to trigger the fire exits. And the cops can watch from security cams (or get them hacked by the robbers).
There are a total of 6 classes each with unique abilities to suit different playstyles. There are also 5 different weapons to use in the game. While this isn’t a whole lot, just the multitude of all the things you can do makes for a very fun time- especially when you play with friends.
The best part, of course, is the online support. Pixel Heist lets you play with your Steam friends all in one game so you can work together (or pit against) your friends for guaranteed laughs! The server finder is super easy to use with a server browser and utilizes Steam server hosting.
The game features both mouse/keyboard and controller support for maximum enjoyment!
Pixel Heist features cute cartoonish graphics and is a blast to play with friends. Guaranteed laughs and a good time.
