Time Thief Reviews

Steal some time to play

For Starter, works well on Steam Deck! (just have to set the buttons right) In Time Thief you play as this cute thief named Bunny moon and your task is to steal different items for your ultimate goal...no spoilers! You do this by sneaking around multiple floor buildings and not getting caught by the guards or other random people populating the area. The game features cute and lovely characters and pixel art, many references to other games and fun gameplay. Even though at times the game is hard adn requires some problem solving, it never felt like it would get to your nerves, trying again is easy enough. Bosses also break up the usual gameplay, each boss has their own gimmick and are very interesting and fun to figure out how to beat them. You can also buy items to help you out in your runs! And now where the game could certainly use some work. -No fullscreen mode, you have to play in a window unless you force lower resolution on whole screen. Interestingly enough Steam Deck stretches window games to full screen so there it works very well, however its playing in non native resolution and resorts to pixel doubling in some horizontal rows, so the image is not perfect. -Randomness, while it keeps the game fresh by switching the item locations and the people going after you, it also randomizes the difficulty... Sometimes theres a detective, ninja, sniper and guards all going after you, sometimes its only the guards, so each run is not same difficulty wise, this is especially bad if youre going for higher ranks. -Not much time to stealth. Often the time limit is pretty tight which understandably keeps you moving, but if you wanna sneak and not get caught, it pretty much means you are gonna run out of time or at least lose on your score. Sometimes guards also keep walking around closed areas you wanna go to a bit too hard so you just HAVE to WAIT and the timer just dosent have much space for that. But overall I had fun with this game and loved the art and characters. And I think it was the moneys worth. So, I recommend you give it a try!
