Of Guards And Thieves Reviews

Used to love playing this game with my friends since before it was even on steam. Now it has hardly any players, the single player that was promised looks like it's no longer going to happen, and it now has microtransactions. I wanted to love this game so much and even told my friends that had grown to hate it that they were wrong, but jokes on me. I bought the game for $15 and it's no longer worth that, now that it's free I guess it would be worth playing.

Really really good gameplay, different game modes means hours of playing without getting bored, lots of fun! BUT There's no option to play in a group with my friend, so i don't often get to work with them in a team, which is the main reason I bought this game. It says that "Friends" is coming soon, but i've had this game for a while now and still no option to easily play on the same team. I hope that the devs will sort this out very soon.

Of Guards and thieves in the most fun I've had with strangers since battlefield 3. It's like a quiet game of cat and mouse, the guards walk around trying to stop the thieves from stealing their stuff, the thieves try to run and steal the items and make it to the exit without being shot dead by the guards. Along side this, you get to communicate wth a fun, friendly community. I myself have been following this game since the very early stages. All I can say is it's worth the price it is! Overall Rating ~ 9.5/10

There's something satisfying about racking up kills in the Office bathroom as cobra Netcode isn't great and door opening seems to be tracked client-side so you occasionally get killed through a door... but it's still a tonne of fun

I think this game defines what "cute little game" actually is. It's interesting, pick-up-and-play, and the gameplay has enough unique features to keep me hooked. Easy to learn, hard to master, and really fun. It's free on the developer's website, I think, but I paid for it because it's good.

Pros: -Beautiful Graphics -Funny engaging gameplay -A variety of different gamemodes, -Very simple yet addicting -Well worth the money Cons: -A rather small player base -No dedicated servers, this ties into what I wrote above because occasionally there are few or no servers to play on because it relies on players to host games and not everyone has the capability to do so. If there were dedicated servers I wouldn't mind a small players base. I highly recommend the game, try the demo and see if you like it, and if you I suggest you buy it! :)

Trash When it first came to [b] steam [/b], I bought the game to play it. [b] Pros [/b] It's free. [b] Cons [/b] Can't escape from lag. I am not talking about lag nor fps. There's this netcode (?) problem or some kind of lag. Community is full of kids. There's merely any good guy in the game. Those "some good guys" has alraedy became good in the game and they'r so selfish people. Updates rarely come. (VERY rarely.) Except admins (who are also players) i don't feel like Developers actually listening to their players. Gotta say this: When some Developers of some game starts not to listen to their old players (by old i mean who spent 4-6 years for the game. And who has basically more than 600hrs). And starts doing what they thing is right. That game is *dead* for everyone.

[b]Of Guards And Thieves [/b]is a stealth multiplayer game developed by Subvert Games. It features intense action with many featurs such as, Leveling System, 7 competetive gamemodes, 4 fun gamemodes (including soccer), 13 maps, and and an awesome community! [b]PROS[/b] *Many varieties of maps and gamemodes *A player count of 200 on average *Constant updates *Max level is 20 (will be changed to 50 in future updates [b]CONS[/b] *NOTHING! OGAT is a completely amazing game that has hard working developers and an active community

This Game is awesome it have so many different gamemodes (Guards and Thieves,Team Death Match,Zombie Rush,Faceless(Slenderman),Insta Gib,Soccer,VIP,CTF,...), i love the design and the originall Game idea in the gamemode "Guard and Thieves" where the Guards defend some objects and the thieves try to steal one of them. But in the moment you feel that this game is in Early Access because you can't change Weapons so you have to play with the basic Equipment which the class offers. But i am looking forward that the developer add more Items and the New Singleplayer mode. BUY IT!! THE COMMUNITY MUST GROW!!

Of Guards and Thieves is a competitive multiplayer stealth game, and you don't really see a lot of those around. Plenty of cooperative stealth but rarely does a game put you against other players. In fact, the best comparison is the “Spies vs Mercs” mode on Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Basically, if you liked that mode but found it to be too severe on the Call of Duty spectrum of gaming, then I have news for you! OGAT is the same idea but in a more indie/flash game type style. Makes sense, as many people who play it through Kongregate and aren’t even aware it’s on Steam. The core mechanics are simple; The Guards tend to be better equipped with more health and assault weapons. The thieves have crossbows and silenced weapons, less health, but one major advantage; Night vision. They must navigate all the maps and turn off the lights while they steal a specific item that only they know about. The guards can find and patrol the multiple items but are not aware of which one it is, giving the less-equipped thieves a tactical advantage. Distraction is a major gameplay element here. There are also other modes to mix this up, including a Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Bomb Defusal, and more. If I had to find a criticism, well... There’s two. They both overlap slightly. The first is that the playerbase is incredibly small, usually peaking at 200 people and going down to 40-60 in off hours. While this is a fine core for the main game mode, I have found it very difficult to explore other game modes such as CTF, or that extra large map where you explore and loot (and what ever happened to Slender?!) I pretty much see 0/10 on all servers unless it’s private or just on a different gametype. Due to the small base of players, there’s no matchmaking and games don’t always autoshuffle so sometimes it can feel like a team is outclassing another. If it does shuffle, there may be a couple of particularly experienced players crushing everyone who just downloaded and are giving it a try. I'm not the worst player but I have on a few occasions found myself in an endless loop of failure because one enemy was just crushing it. I have some friends who can barely play it for more than twenty minutes at a time and it’s a shame. The flip side of this; There's no equipment or pay2win system here. If you play enough you can eventually learn the maps, figure out decent hiding patterns, and perform better yourself. (Protip: Guards can turn off their flashlights and hide in bushes themselves, which is hard to see even with night vision). That kind of thing. Regardless, It’s a great, small game with a fair amount of replayability. The matches are quick and bite-sized, and you can usually get several games in just twenty minutes or so.
