About The Masterplan

✦ AI summary

Plan the perfect crime in this tactical heist game where you command a squad through 20 hand-crafted jobs in 1970s-themed scenarios, choosing between silent infiltration or guns-blazing mayhem. Hand-drawn 2D visuals and dynamic slow-motion controls let you micromanage every detail, manage your crew's gear and abilities, and decide whether to threaten, sedate, or eliminate anyone who gets in your way.

The Masterplan is an award-winning tactical squad-based heist game set in 1970s. The 2D top-down view gives you a great overview of what's happening at any given moment, allowing you to be a real criminal mastermind. Features hand-drawn 2D graphics and fun group control, granting you total control - at least until someone calls the cops and everything goes haywire.

During the game you'll need to heist your way through 20 unique hand-crafted heists in a persisting career mode, manage your crew from heist to heist by hiring the right goons and by making sure they are properly equipped. A test of a true mastermind will be to execute the plan to perfection, keep the goons alive, and walk away with the maximum loot from each heist.

Depending on your preference, you can hit your targets loud, or in stealth, or a mix of both. Keep the civilians under control, knock them out, or leave no witnesses. It's all up to you, just make sure you won't be there when the cops arrive - or be ready for a brutal firefight.

If you are hungry for more content on top of the campaign, you can test your mettle in the 8 challenge maps, built by the development team, available through Steam Workshop. And with Steam Workshop support, players can also create their own heists!

Fun game but I cannot recommend with the constant crashing issue, hits hard in a game with long methodical levels. 8 / 10

Incredibly buggy game. The main problem is how often the game crashes mid-mission. Unfortunately, progress cannot be saved during the mission so when the game ultimately crashes you just lose all of your progress. I would've thought that in the nine years since this game was released the developers would've fixed this issue but no such luck. If they haven't gotten around to it by now I can only assume they have no intention of figuring it out in future. Don't waste your time or money.
