The average video game character can do more than the average person which is what makes playing games so empowering. There's still value in more realistic games or in characters that are more vulnerable than their peers. Because of this, they can't just go in swinging wildly and hope to win, they need more tact. Thus, the stealth genre came to be and provides a whole new set of challenges. Ideally, you want to get in, do your job, and get out without anyone realizing you were there. While this is more popular on consoles, it still has a place on mobile.

Whether this means sticking to the shadows, moving through the ventilation system, the goal is to never trip the alarm once. These mobile games will test your patience and your ability to plan a stealthy way to your objective.

Snipers vs. Thieves

Well, this is like playing hide and seek in plain sight, and your goal is to get spotted sometimes, and to stay hidden most of the time! Let me explain that a bit. Snipers are the ones trying to...well snipe thieves that are trying to run away after a successful heist. Their goal is to stop every thief. Thieves, on the other hand, have to figure out diversions, run and hide behind obstacles, have to dive and slide across the road just to avoid the fire. One hit, and you're going down. Not much is at stake, huh?

The graphics is cute and cartoonish with a very wide colour palette, and most of the game looks rather casual and fun, which it really is. Simple concept, but working exactly as intended!
