Crookz - The Big Heist Demo

Hollywood has given us a fair share of movies that are all about a group of people who work together to pull off some impressive heists. In most cases, we loved those movies or at least saw the ingenuity of the robbers be at least interesting.

Crookz - The Big Heist is based on the success of the team heist concept, only this time, you get to control your team of robbery experts.

Part of Crookz - The Big Heist’s charm comes from the time setting, which in my humble opinion, couldn't have been better. With the action taking place in the 70s, expect loads of quality funk music, big hair, powerful characters and maybe, just maybe, a few mullets along the way.

The game is not just about completing levels or heists with the best score. There’s a story to it; it revolves around friendship, double-crossing people and good old payback. You also get a lot of sassy talk from the female protagonists and all the macho nonsense that was blooming in the male mind of that period. In short, writing and attitude-wise, Crookz - The Big Heist is just great.

The gameplay to Crookz - The Big Heist is well-balanced between being challenging and enjoyable in a casual way. In each mission, you get to assemble a crew based on their individual skill set and complete the heist at hand. Finishing a job with just one member is out of the question, and that’s what makes Crookz - The Big Heist appealing.

In Crookz, crew members open the path to completion for one another and planning ahead is important. Stealth, coordination, foresight, risking, everything counts.

From an aesthetics point of view, Crookz - The Big Heist is well worth the time. Not only does the game feature wonderful attention to detail, but the 70s mood is also spot on. Moreover, the latter is complemented by the great soundtrack and excellent voice over acting for each of the characters.

In closing, Crookz - The Big Heist is definitely a game you should have if you’re into team-based gameplay, heists and the 70s.
