Bandit Brawler

Bandit Simulator is a title that combines elements of simulation, stealth and action games, developed by the independent Polish studio CreativeForge Games, also responsible for such games as Ancient Space, Hard West or Phantom Doctrine.

Plot

Bandit Simulator takes us to the Middle Ages. During the game we play as the eponymous bandit and the character's criminal "career" is entirely up to us. Nothing stands in the way of remaining a cutthroat who steals from children and poor townspeople, but we can also try to become a true master of thieving.

Mechanics

In Bandit Simulator the action is shown from FPP. The devs have prepared an open world consisting of a town and a forest wilderness. The former is a true paradise for a novice thief who can deal with both pickpocketing and robbing the houses of burghers (where, in addition to saving money, we will find, for example, candlesticks, dishes or even clothes that we can sell to a local fence).

However, in order to earn more money, we have to undertake more complicated tasks, starting with stealing pigs from farms, through getting knights drunk and taking their weapons, to ambushing caravans passing through the forest. Of course, we should be careful not to be caught in the act of committing a crime, because the robbed person and his allies may chase or attack us; if we fail to escape or defend ourselve (with our fists or weapons), we will be imprisoned. Even then, however, not everything is lost, because we can always try to escape and, if successful, return to our evil ways.
