American Theft 80s

"American Theft 80s" is a love letter to the '80s – neon colors, VHS vibes, and plenty of criminal energy included. Just like the '80s were in the States. You take on the role of a small-time low life junkie, or more precisely, a burglar, who works his way up step by step by spying on houses, bypassing alarm systems, and taking anything that isn't nailed down. Always with style, of course… or at least with plenty of guts. There are two game modes to choose from: Story Mode and Sandbox Mode. In Story Mode, you have to complete the individual tasks of the main mission to advance to the next district, similar to GTA. In Sandbox Mode, on the other hand, you can explore every single district right from the start. What I like about the game: - You can break into every single apartment or building. - There's a wide selection of items to loot. - There are different burglary tools. - Each of the three city districts presents its own unique challenges when attempting a burglary. - The missions in Story Mode are entertaining and engaging. - Different vehicle types can be unlocked after completing the corresponding tasks. What I didn't like: The game has a few bugs. For example, you can fall through the floor and reappear somewhere else in the city. Or, if you get out of your car and have parked too close to a fence or wall, your character will hover in mid-air, suspended between the car door and the wall. The atmosphere is particularly strong: the radios, music, technology, and visuals practically scream "80s!" It's simply fun to scout out a house, observe routines, and then strike at the perfect moment—or flee in a panic because you've overlooked a camera again. Planning is rewarded, improvisation sometimes is too, and failure is part of the charm. The gameplay is pleasantly slow-paced but never boring. Every burglary feels different. "American Theft 80s" is a charming, relaxed, and simultaneously exciting stealth game with plenty of style and humor. Anyone who enjoys nostalgic vibes, clever planning, and minor criminal escapades will be thoroughly entertained. A nice indie title.

[h1] Очень глючный симулятор домушника [/h1] Хотя даже без глюков здесь сюжет конечно вообще так себе. Играем за вора или же грабителя, который обносит домишки в маленьком районе. Возможно дальше район увеличится, но пока что проходить было очень тяжко. Здесь криво всё - обнаружения сделаны странно, кривые укрытия, персонажи ходят опять через стены и видят сквозь стены. За вещи цены просто смешные - лучше бы этот грабитель тогда на завод пошёл и то больше бы получил выручку. На тяжёлых производствах даже с судимостями берут. Это лучше, чем рисковать быть избитым хозяином дома или же служителем закона. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3750295138 Так что игра на любителя. Сюжет типично-помойный про побегушки по заданиям у каких-то непонятных челов. Условия тоже так себе. Прокачка медленная, деньги капают тоже вяло. Персонаж может заклинить в мусорном баке и его может выкинуть оттуда скособоченным. За 700 руб явно можно купить что-то поинтереснее и качественнее.

This was advertised to me as the better Thief Simulator. What I received was an experience just as lackluster, with some slight improvements. It's your average, cheaply made simulator game. Little voice acting, clunky animations, and bland presentation overall. The optimization is dreadful. Aside from long loading screens, my PC turns into a jet engine as it tries to process the mediocre open world. The stealth is either hit or miss with how absurdly sensitive detection is. Halfway through the game, I genuinely found myself enjoying it, but that doesn't make up for the abhorrent experience that are the first few hours. Especially towards the end, it becomes pretty apparent that they ran out of ideas. The novelty of burglary wears off as soon as the game restricts you to limited entry methods. The only major positive I can grant this over Thief Simulator is how the grind for equipment and upgrades is substantially minimal here.

It's a semi decent thief sim remake, just be prepared for its annoying problems when you play it. The game's got a lot of issues (like stealth being in and out of existance), but I just can't be bothyered to go over all of them.

Игра кривая, не имеющая каких то интересных механик, скучная и блеклая. Не советую к покупке

Sadly, it's technically broken. It needs more than a minute (!) to load a save, freezing the whole (high end!) computer in the meanwhile. If you want to switch to another window, everything freezes, but then for even longer. I'm astonished that the programmers were able to publish such an unfinished and buggy game and not fix it ever since. Killing it in task manager takes several minutes, too!

It takes you straight back to the 80s, where the tech was chunky and the heists felt like something out of a classic crime flick.Gameplay: Old-School ThieveryYou’re a thief climbing the social ladder in a typical 80s American town. No high-tech hacking here—it’s all about crowbars, lockpicks, and hauling massive tube TVs into the back of your car. You have to scope out houses, learn the owners' routines, and make your move when the coast is clear.The 80s VibeThe strongest point of the game is the atmosphere. Everything from the synth-wave music to the boxy cars and the "shag carpets" in the houses feels authentic. It’s a great sandbox for anyone who misses (or loves) that aesthetic.Pros & ConsPROS:Strategic Freedom: There are multiple ways to break into every location. Planning the perfect getaway is super satisfying.Retro Fun: Stealing VCRs and cassette tapes feels surprisingly nostalgic and funny.CONS:Wonky AI: The police can be hit or miss—sometimes they're oblivious, other times they have superhuman vision.Technical Jitter: It has that typical "simulator" jank with occasional clipping or physics bugs.Final VerdictAmerican Theft 80s is a fun, lighthearted stealth game. It’s not perfect, but it’s a blast to play if you want to experience a "crime spree" through a retro lens. ---{ 9 / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10

It has a solid concept, but it's not executed well enough. Reloading a save takes ages, tenants are extremely buggy, interacting with doors or windows can take ages, and the story is... lackluster to say the least.

It is like thief simulator but with connected town that make it feel like player can roam freely. But the sandbox mode is harder, no schedule for tenant and no save. Thiefing the house in blind with sandbox

great game
