Vice Thief Simulator: 80s Nostalgia

⭐ https://youtu.be/sAi-z2rpS_w ⭐ Recommended? ❌ Not in its current state. I really wanted to like this game. The neon 80s vibe, the retro city, the whole “Vice-style thief fantasy” sounded great on paper but after playing through the missions, it’s clear the game needs a massive update before it can be recommended. ✔ What’s Good · 80s atmosphere is spot on — great colors, great vibe · Concept has potential · Basic systems (lockpicking, distractions, looting) could be fun with refinement · Pawn shop interactions / haggling are interesting ideas ✘ What’s Not Good · Cop AI is extremely inconsistent Sometimes they spot you instantly for turning your head 2 degrees, other times you can stand next to them picking your nose and they don’t care. · Controls and animations feel stiff Movement, crouching, and interactions just don’t feel smooth. · Mission structure feels copy-paste Almost every job works the exact same way with only minor changes. · Map is tiny and repetitive You end up running around the same small block over and over. · Bugs and logic problems everywhere Objectives fail randomly, cars don’t register, and some interactions break completely. · No real progression or reason to earn money You collect cash… but can’t meaningfully spend it. Tools unlock through scripts, not gameplay. 💬 Overall Thoughts This feels more like an early demo than a full game. The foundation is there, the art direction is good and the idea has real potential but everything else needs polish: AI, UI, controls, mission variety, progression, and general stability. If the developers push out a big overhaul, this could become something fun. Right now though? Barely playable, as the title of my YouTube video says. 👍 Would I revisit it? Only after major updates.

This game is kinda confusing at first even with the quest pointers but it doesn't disappoint, the constant action from the police presence keeps you on edge as you try to navigate the map to complete quests, overall its a good game to chill with and I look forward to continuing the journey.. I just wish I could spend my hard earned cash but maybe I'm missing something, Thankyou again for the key.. 💚💙

game feels like a light 80s crime rush. You sneak into houses, grab whatever you can, steal cars and race away from the cops under neon lights. The progression feels good, the atmosphere pulls you in, and every clean getaway gives that nice hit of adrenaline. In short, simple, stylish, and seriously fun.

Vice Thief Simulator: 80s Nostalgia is the type of game I was really looking forward to. I often play these kinds of simulation games. And on top of that, it has a great 80s theme, a theme I absolutely love! The 1980s were known for their amazing synth music, flashy neon colors, and arcades! This is an action simulation game designed and published by Oddi Tycoon. [b]A Promising Idea[/b] The way they describe the game is exactly what pulls me in. While playing, you dive into the neon-lit 80s and become a cunning thief. You break into houses and steal valuable items. You also hijack cars and have to escape from the police. To do this more effectively, you upgrade your skills and gear and try to survive in a world where only the boldest criminals make it. Your goal is actually very simple: get rich. Enjoy a world set in the 1980s and don’t get caught. One wrong move and the police are right behind you. You can lose the cops quickly and easily. For example, by throwing a bottle so they go investigate the noise. Or by setting off a car alarm. Are they still chasing you? Just run. Slalom a bit through narrow alleys and you lose them. I have to say, I do like the 80s style, but it doesn’t fully pop. On top of that, this game is literally a copy of other games. The lockpicking is exactly the same as in other titles. Simple locks open quickly, but the ones hiding more expensive loot are better protected (no ♥♥♥♥, Sherlock). You can open those by upgrading your tools. It’s also possible to steal cars. You break in and drive off without being noticed. Deliver it to the correct drop-off point and you get cash. You can also sell items at pawn shops. These are items you can carry, like valuable watches or rare electronics. [b]Early Access Reality Check[/b] But let’s get straight to the point. The game only costs 4 euros and is still in Early Access. And unfortunately, that’s very noticeable. The game doesn’t feel finished and feels a bit like a demo made by a student in their attic. In principle, the game does have potential, but I personally don’t feel like this game will ever truly be finished. It feels like a hobby project that people will quickly forget. The developers themselves state: “We plan to release the game in Early Access to gather feedback on core mechanics such as burglary, car theft, and police chases. Player input will help us balance difficulty, refine stealth, and create the most authentic 80s-inspired experience possible.” That does sound like a promise that could genuinely improve the game. Still, I was done with it pretty quickly. After about an hour, I was bored. You get tired of it very fast. As I mentioned before, the game doesn’t feel finished and clearly has flaws. When I first started the game, it felt a bit like something inspired by GTA: Vice City, but you definitely shouldn’t compare it to that. I also found myself more annoyed by the police (especially the way they patrol) than actually entertained. [b]Final Thoughts[/b] I really do think the game could be enjoyable if they go back to the drawing board and actually listen to the community. Maybe it’s time they take a look at how “the bigger brother” of this genre is designed. And don’t get me wrong: I did have some fun, so don’t think I played the game with disgust. But after an hour, I was just completely done with it. This game is mainly meant for simulator gamers who want to give developers a chance. I genuinely encourage those players to try the game and send feedback to the developer. And honestly, it only costs 4 euros, so… who really cares.

💬 Mon avis : Vice Thief Simulator: 80s Nostalgia reprend une formule déjà connue des amateurs de jeux de cambriolage tout en l'habillant d'une ambiance années 80 agréable. Les mécaniques principales (vols, revente du butin, poursuites policières et amélioration de l'équipement) fonctionnent correctement et offrent un gameplay simple à prendre en main. En revanche, le jeu étant en accès anticipé, il manque encore de contenu et de finition. On sent le potentiel, mais également les limites actuelles en termes de variété et de profondeur. Si le développement continue dans la bonne direction, il pourrait devenir une expérience bien plus complète. 🏆 Mon évaluation 🧩 Gameplay : ★★★☆☆ 🎨 Graphismes : ★★★☆☆ 🎵 Ambiance / Audio : ★★★★☆ 📖 Histoire : ★★☆☆☆ ⚙️ Optimisation : ★★★☆☆ 🎮 Plaisir de jeu : ★★★☆☆ 🏆 Note finale : 6,5/10 🔥 À refaire ? Oui, surtout après plusieurs mises à jour de l'accès anticipé. 🎯 Je le conseille ? Oui, mais principalement aux amateurs de jeux de cambriolage et si vous acceptez les limites d'un jeu en accès anticipé ou que vous l'obtenez à petit prix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bORPym1zKM

Vice Thief Simulator: 80s Nostalgia is a first-person theft game set in a neon-soaked version of the 1980s. You break into houses, steal valuables, hijack cars, and try to stay ahead of the cops while upgrading your skills and gear. The focus is on sneaking, lockpicking, and building yourself up as a career criminal in a stylized era. Pros ✔️ Multiple unlocking mechanics - As someone who enjoys lockpicking systems, I liked knowing there were different ways to get into places. ✔️ Plenty of items to steal - There’s no shortage of stuff to grab, which at least makes exploration feel worthwhile. ✔️ You keep stolen items when caught - That choice softens failure and keeps mistakes from feeling completely punishing. Cons ❌ Sneaking feels broken - The stealth system just doesn’t work well enough to support the kind of game this wants to be. ❌ Lockpicking is weak - Despite having multiple methods, none of them feel especially well-developed. ❌ Feels half-cooked overall - A lot of systems are there, but they don’t feel finished or well integrated. Conclusion On paper, it should’ve worked for me, especially with the focus on stealing and multiple entry methods. In practice, it felt rushed and underdeveloped, like ideas were added without being fully thought through or tested. There are better games out there doing this same thing, even within the already pretty niche “80s thief” space. This one just didn’t come together. Score 4/10 Neon Heists — A cool concept that never quite locks into place.
