New video games: Scoundrel is the roguelite little one of Gunpoint and Thief

So think about you are taking the 2D platforming hijinks of Tom Francis’ terrific Gunpoint and blended them with the sneaky housebreaking motion of Thief. You’d get one thing a bit like Scoundrel, a procedurally-generated steal-’em-up coming quickly from a brand new indie studio known as Bullish Games.

Bullish Games have been engaged on Scoundrel since 2015, and so they’ve simply launched a primary teaser trailer (above). You can get a reasonably good concept of what the sport’s about from the video, which reveals numerous cat burglars creeping by dimly-lit mansions, hiding in potted crops, and customarily stealing something that isn’t firmly nailed down.

As in Gunpoint, there are guards to cope with utilizing your bag of methods or the setting. Unlike Gunpoint, there’s completely no fight – Scoundrel is 100 % a stealth recreation, and while you get noticed, it’s time to beat ft to the closest exit in as immediate a fashion as attainable.

You’ll even be utilizing a brand new, randomly-assembled scoundrel for every thieving mission, so it appears as if it’ll be vital to be adaptable to totally different gear or ability loadouts and strategy every mission with an eye fixed on what your strengths and weaknesses are.
