Do not, I repeat, DO. NOT. Start a game unless you have enough time to finish it. All kinds of random occurrences could happen. Losing tools and loot, squares being covered back up, entire characters missing, complete the game and nothing happening, unable to complete game cause gold bar missing. All of these have happened to me in the 3 days I've played it if I pause and back out to the main menu: basically: menu button, menu button and close app. Normal mode way too hard guard movement.
An addictive and fun solo version of the cooperative board game, but PUNISHINGLY difficult on Normal mode. I'm a seasoned gamer and even still, this game can be maddening at times.
Now, the actually Board Game is ★★★★★, but the App is IMPOSSIBLE unless set to "Easy." My friends and I LOVE this game, but seriously the "Random" guard movements even in "Normal" mode make it impossible. I love the customizable nature of the game, but unless you're on Easy it's virtually impossible to win.
Nice game; good theme, graphics and sounds, let down by excessive random elements (arbitrarily impossible room layouts; random guard patrol routines; dice rolling to crack obstacles and open safes) which make it too dependent on luck. Compounded by a lack of accessible useful information and no undo, this makes chance of success range from arbitrary to impossible. Also, it's a 1 player game not multiplayer co-op? Some reviews appears to be of the board game not the app.
Tons of variability to rules you can make, and a fun mechanism to unlock a variant of each character through play. You can save and come back to your game also. Easier settings are recommended for a while until you can develop advanced strategies/tactics. There is still a high chance to lose with harder settings, so good luck.
When is the Burgle Bros 2 app coming out? 🙂
Fowers Games are a bit elusive since they're an indie publisher, so I used this app to try out Burgle Bros, and that was enough: I was hooked. I've since bought the home game and it's my favorite co-op board game ever. It perfectly captures the feel of Ocean's 11 style heist movies, and the mobile version is a near-perfect adaption in style, execution, and music. ... The only downside is that there are some bugs, which comes from being a small publisher. But it is well worth it; this game rocks.
Stuck at title screen, will not load game
Love it; I actually bought it on Steam first, but I had to buy it here too. I just wish they add an "Exit" button in the main menu because the back button doesn't do a thing.
Tons of bugs, get the physical game
