Peaky Blinders: Mastermind

Mechanics

Despite the theme and place of the action, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is not a gangster tactical game or a shooter. The game offers a unique gameplay and a series of missions, consisting of logical puzzles, which we solve by manipulating time. The three-dimensional world is presented in an isometric view.

We control six representatives of the Shelby family. Each has different skills, such as bullying, bribery, sneaking around or kicking doors. The action takes place in the mind of Tommy, the head of the Shelby family, who is planning to make another jump or lucrative action. During the mission players move a specific hero to a selected position and give him a command, e.g. to open a door. Then, using the clear timeline located at the bottom of the screen, they retract the time and take control of the next character who benefits from the passage open to them.

Scenarios in Peaky Blinders: Mastermind requires us to be able to plan individual heroes' actions and synchronize them, and to use special skills and the ability to predict how they will affect each other in different ways. It is also up to the players whether they bet on quiet and hidden problem solving or on forceful methods. While performing the tasks we have unlimited possibilities to experiment and correct possible mistakes.

Technical aspects

Three-dimensional graphic design in Peaky Blinders: Mastermind was prepared in a slightly comic style. The game is accompanied by cutscenes prepared in the form of two-dimensional illustrations. The soundtrack was prepared by an rock band Feverist, who also worked on the TV series.
