Thief Town

Way to not use the local multiplayer tag on the store page

Some good notes and some bad bugs. Good: When the game was working it was a huge laugh, having a bunch of people in one room on different devices lead to a lot of smack talk, and a lot of stabbing. The game play, while very simple, is a ton of fun, and makes for an incredible party game. Bad: We could not get every device working. The biggest boon to this game would be having friends come over and download it on their phones or tablets, but when we tried running multiple platforms together it was bug city. Different devices would log in as the same player, ghost players would be able to run around and stab whoever they wanted (which was hilarious, but for the wrong reasons), and the game would crash constantly or throw people back to the lobby. I hope a patch comes in the next few days, I will definitely be trying this out again. Recommended, but with a warning.

Can't play as i have no LAN friends :'( (Warning)

Its Pretty fun if you have multiple Controllers, Computers, iPads, iPhones, and or friends ;(

Do not buy this game. Buy "Hidden in Plain Sight" instead. Thief town is all style and 0 substance. The game plays like this: You and your friends are on screen with a bunch of npcs that look exactly like you and your friends. The objective is to find out which one of the npcs based on movement are actually one of your friends and stab them without getting stabbed by your friends first. This is an incredibly fun CONCEPT but is executed very, very poorly in Thief Town. Technical problems: Firstly, every single player has to bind their controls EVERY SINGLE TIME THE GAME IS LAUNCHED. If you don't understand what you're doing and bind the wrong keys you have to walk over to the bartender to change your key bindings using the very same incorrect controlls you just bound. "Couldn't you just reset them in the menu?" you may ask. Unfortunately you still need to navigate the menu with broken controls and then you need to rebind keys for every player. "Why aren't the the controls bound to de...

Core gameplay is fun. very similiar concept to AC multiplayer. However, unless you have friends who can come over, you won't be having much fun with this game. It's only local multiplayer so my friends that are not in town can't have any fun with me in this game. 5/5 if you have close irl friends 0/5 if you have friends via internet or friends that live far away

Phenomenal game for my dorm household. Getting together on the couch with some brews is a blast and a roaring good time. Does it need online multiplayer? No. Would it be nice? Yes. But really, this game is about getting together with your real friends, not the imaginary ones or internet ones, and being social. And in the end thats how gaming became great, and so is this game. Minor flaw would be I couldn't get my android device to work, BUT to be FAIR, I have a shit signal from my room. For the price this game is a steal. Get it? Hahaha.

So far I haven't analyzed a lot of games on Steam. But I always read analysis. Let's be clear: some games can benefit more from positive user's feedback than others. I didn't need to read at people's opinions to know I was buying Awesomenauts or Binding of Isaac. But truth is that it took me some time to finally purchase Thief Town. I wasn't pretty sure. And it was a damn good purchase. The game excels at what I think is the most important for a local multiplayer: creating tension and hilarious moments that make you and your friend burst into laughs. It's not a game you will play more than an hour in a single session (but most local multiplayer games aren't designed for that, to be fair). But it's a game you will surely propose to play every time you and your friends decide to have a fun time playing some local multiplayer on Steam. Its strengths remind me to Nidhogg: a super easy to learn game that guarantee a lot of laughs. I picture you at the same spot I was: doubting if this ...

Very good party game, recomended.

The game doesn't work ONLINE, DOES NOT WORK, EVEN THROUGH Hamachi\Tunngle, DOES NOT WORK.
