Rude Ghost and Skymap Games announced that their larcenous multiplayer lark, Thief Town, is available now on the Nintendo Switch. Play a deadly and dusty game of cat and mouse as up to four players try to suss and stab one another out from a crowd of NPCs, with all manner of crazy western-themed items and modes to shake things up.
About Thief Town
Thief Town is a local multiplayer-only stealth action game set in a pixel-perfect rendition of the Wild West. Lurk in the crowd, emulate non-player characters, and achieve backstabbing victory. Up to 4 players control identical avatars (the “Thieves”) in a single-screen arena (the “Town”), also filled with other identical NPCs. Players must identify which NPCs are secretly other players and stab them for points, before being discovered and stabbed themselves.
Thief Town comes to the Nintendo Switch and includes the “SPOOKY TOWN” update! With portable local multiplayer fun, Thief Town finally finds its true calling on a hybrid handheld-console system.
