Hey guys!
I know some of you are not used to play indie games, but if that's the case, I can assure you that Monaco is a completely different beast.
I've been playtesting, bug reporting and providing useful feedback for the devs of this 2010 IGF winner since the first batch of beta testers, and later on I became one of the "Beta VIPs" and got credited (yay). Check the credits list and look for me, lol.
Apart from having a very distinguishable art style with a camera perspective that resembles that Pac-Man, you can choose one of the 8 possible different classes and play as singleplayer or up to 4 co-op thieves in your team. They play very differently:
- The Locksmith: Blue-collar infiltration expert
- The Lookout: She can see and hear everything... a natural leader
- The Pickpocket: A hobo with a monkey and a penchant for crime
- The Cleaner: A silent psychopath... Jack The Ripper in pink
- The Mole: Big and dumb... likes to tunnel
- The Gentleman: He doesn't always wear a disguise, but when he does, he looks fantastic
- The Hacker: Armies of viruses shut down security... a modern day warlock
- The Redhead: Manipulative and murderous... a lady always gets what she wants
This is indeed one of the most fun and best couch games I've ever played, and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat! If you are a fan of performing heists, stealing lots of loot using different tools to knock-out/ kill guards, and specially enjoying when that heist gets out of control and makes you want to punch your friend on the face but you are too busy laughing your ass off, man, this game is for you!
Add me on steam and let's steal Monaco! (or die miserably)
Games are usually pretty short so it's easy to team up with some friends whenever there's half an hour to spare.
