Treasure Grab stealing onto mobile
Prepare for some sticky-fingered maze-running
Universomo has just dropped us a line to fill us in on its upcoming mobile release, Treasure Grab, which will be the developer's first original IP since the excellent Chop Sushi.
My first thought based on the gameplay video below was that it looked like a cross between Pac-Man and Thief (a seminal PC stealth-adventure series). Scanning down the accompanying press release, it turns out that the two main inspirations for the game were none other than Pac-Man and Thief.
Is it possible to be a professional reference-spotter? I’d make millions.
The game sees you playing the role of Alya Loot (ba-dum-tish!), a master thief who must raid the mansions of four decadent nobles. You run through each detailed environment grabbing anything of value, avoiding guards and picking locks. Intriguingly, you’ll have seven “Trickster powers” with which to accomplish your goals, which include the likes of disguises and invisibility.
Treasure Grab is going to start hitting carrier decks from August 17th, but we should be able to sneak in a review for you before then.
