The Swindle is a bit like Spelunky with a cybercrime edge, heading to Vita this year
It might be a bit like Spelunky ... a bit
Curve Studios has announced that it's bringing Size Five Games's "steampunk cybercrime steal-'em-up" The Swindle to PS Vita in 2015.
Size Five describes The Swindle as a mix of Deus Ex and Spelunky but insists that it has its own personality. The screenshots seem to prove as much, at least.
Anyway, this is a combination of action, stealth, and platforming. In it, you are tasked with breaking into procedurally generated buildings. That may prove tasking enough but that's only the start of your crime caper.
Once you're in, you then have to hack into terminals, steal cash, and then dash out to sound of alarm bells ringing in your ears.
Afterwards, you're able to upgrade your thief and their equipment so that you can take on bigger buildings, tougher security systems, and bigger cash piles.
But if you get caught by the police then you'll lose everything you stole and will be miserable, probably.
