Cutthroat

I first noticed this game because it was very similar to a gamejam game me and a couple of friends made for GGJ 2014. If you're interested in it, it's called "Manhattan". I'm not ashamed to say, this game is a lot better than the game we made. This game is what I would call a hidden crowd game. Basically, there is a crowd of non-player characters that look identical to the player characters, and it is the player's task to conduct an objective without being noticed by other players. This is primarily accomplished through careful movement and crowd navigation, in order to decieve opponents into thinking that you are an NPC. In this particular game, the objective is to kill your opponents. This is done through moving up to the suspected player and attacking (by pressing X). This instantly kills them and awards you with one point. This dynamic is made complicated by the different player classes available. At the beginning of each round, players anonymously choose a class, which comes with 2 unique abilites. One ability can be used once, the other can be used three times, but both interact with the gameplay in interesting ways. Will you be a Warrior, who can cause a crowd of npcs t…

A review for this game is the hardest thing to say about it since it's so great, Like these Devs earned this game on steam and the BETA was amazing This game is very wonderful for a stealthy assassin game, If you ever played one you know they not easy to make but not the hardest and the mind games are insane, This game was a very declious game to dig my teeth into and I will be playing this game now and then and more when the updates role in, For real this game is so simple but so fun the art I love it The Art: It feel cartoony but it's amazing Gameplay:10/10 - Mind games are very fun to play I know I got rekt but I wanted to keep going xD PS: I did got this game free but I earned it from being top 10, and that alone was amazing to play in. <3 Devs:Anzoc,Verese,Kaelaholmen

Disclosure of Potential Bias: I know the developers (I grew up two houses down from one of them!) and have seen the game (and played it) since its earliest iteration (all the way back to when the devs would throw a Codefest in the dorms at our uni and we would all hang out: playing games, coding stuff, plus eating hot pockets, chips, and walmart bakery cookies; ah, college life). /waves at Ocumens developers TLDR: Cutthroat has a low barrier to entry (controls are easy), but has a high skill cap (git gud at pattern recognition) and even a metagame (better track the amount of times a warrior Riots, or if a mage has Soul-Swapped yet, and many more things) because the game forces you to be stealthy to be successful. You can play this game with your parents (or, if you're a parent, with your younger kids and your partner) and everyone can have fun within just a few rounds (you learn the controls very quickly). I don't do to well with most party games (local multiplayer pvp games), but I've found Cutthroat to be a pleasant exception. The game relies much less on memorizing zillions of fighting combinations, rather, the controls are easy and quick to learn...the real challenge (and wh…

I recommend to buy the game from itch.io. I got the steam key from itch.io, but the steam version is unplayable. Even when I choose "local" play it says that "account already logged in" and "wrong password" and does not allow to any controller or keyboard to join, but the itch.io version works well and the game is very good. But this review is for the steam version and this game is not functional.
