Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a thief in the 1980s? Well, you're in luck. American Theft 80s is an upcoming game that answers a question that we'd believe nobody ever asked. Get your shades on, crank up that synth-pop, and get ready to become the ultimate kleptocrat in this action-adventure stealth game.
So what's expected of this game, and why is there such a fascination with the 80s setting? It seems to be the irony of making a big deal about stealing technologically irrelevant things. American Theft 80s looks intriguing. This preview will answer the already burning questions of why, what, and how?
The Golden Age of Thievery
Let's wind back to an age where VCRs and boomboxes were incredibly sought-after materials. Corruption is rife, poverty is everywhere, and crime is a way of life. It doesn't sound too different from today's general outlook on life. Still, in the 1980s, we had neon colors, morally ambiguous cartoons, and cool sunglasses! American Theft 80s sets the scene masquerading that nothing has changed in an ironically more relaxed setting.
So you've probably already got the gist of what American Theft 80s is all about. You'll play as an underdog thief looking to rise the ranks in a country known for corruption, crime, and dirty little secrets. It eliminates the moral tightrope of stealing for a career. You'll have no trouble finding systematic ways to loot residents' prized video recorders and stereos.
Naturally, most gameplay mechanics involve evasion, strategic thievery, and evading the local police. The 80s setting makes it nostalgic for anyone who remembers those times; others might feel it's a bit abstract. All considered, American Theft 80s does look like a good bit of fun.
The versatility in gameplay, the slight tongue-in-cheek humor, and the well-designed 80s visuals make American Theft 80s an intriguing prospect. The world is your oyster when it comes to robbery, so it will seem you will have plenty to do when the game gets released.
Kleptocracy Awaits
Nothing looks notably different about American Theft 80s from its spiritual sibling Thief Simulator. However, you get more of a Hitman vibe from this game than anything. The level of thought and strategy that needs to go into effectively stealing from the variety of homes, museums, banks, and offices is much higher than your average looting game.
How much detail goes into American Theft 80s is still yet to be seen. We don't have a release date yet, but we've got some expectations that the game could be good at first glance. It's a standout concept, even if the gameplay is similar to any other kleptocratic simulators we've seen before. Alas, we look forward to what American Theft 80s ends up offering us and see if it whisks us away into a synthwave kleptocracy.
