Good little drop-in party game.

Super fun micro game where you are trying to stab your opponents among a group of identical looking and randomly moving bots. There are additional wrinkles like item abilities thrown in, but the base game play loop is strong and satisfying. Anyone should be able to pick this up and have a good time. And if they don't, they only lost 5 minutes of their life. You could do far worse.

This game is super fun to play with your friends when hanging out. The soundtrack is great and I love the excessive amount of yelling that is also involved. If you play with more than two I would recommend controllers for the other friends, I don't have controllers though so we just used to keyboards. very fun play it with your friends please.
Silly simple fun for a small company of friends, perfect as a drinking party duel game, so stupid it's good. The hard part would be to establish control schemes for everybody, especially if there are 4 players present. But 1 on 1 feels alright too.
This game is fire and i expected it to have more than 99 reviews what i think this game needs more recognition

Stabbed my friends,
Got drunk, hid from the sheriff...
Booted up my PC, played thief town... fun game
this was the best value game ive ever bought
local multiplayer only game that would be best as an online multiplayer game.
Отличный патигейм. Вчетвером угорели с друзьями. Жаль,что только локальный или сплит-скрин мультиплеер и мало режимов игры.
Sehr lustiges kleines Partyspiel.
Played two rounds with friends, it was fun. Will play again.
В игре на одном компе, чаще всего вы будете слышать.. "Ах ты сууууука!"
Чётенькая игрушка, было бы побольше контента=)
Does not work properly on recent Macs with Retina display. 3/4 of the screen stays black, with the game screen showing entirely in the bottom left quadrant.
Pretty nice game to play together with friends on a TV.
Requires mindgames as well as reflexes/skills.
Fun game to play with some friends. But sometimes you can't connect 4 gamepads(I don't know why).
欢乐撕逼~
Simple premise: there are a lot of identical "Thieves" on screen but neither you nor the other player/s know who you are. The goal is to stab/kill each other.
Very accessible and really fun. Only got to try it in 2-player, but I can already see how sneaky it would get with 4 players.

TLDR: Inferior in every way to Hidden in Plain Sight which takes this concept and executes it better in every way with more modes and better out of the box experience
http://store.steampowered.com/app/303590/Hidden_in_Plain_Sight/
You have to manually configure your joypad everytime, menu is not a menu but a rather cryptic sidescroll level that you have to traverse to start games and get to options. Only one mode with random power ups for each player each game.
The controller system is so basic (and dynamic) it ends up being better than average for linux gamepad support.
one of the best party games i have, just wish it had more content.
Rate: ★★★☆☆
A simple game for fun, with friends is really enjoyable, thums up for me.
There be thieves in these parts:
Pros: Multiplayer.
Cons: Repetitive.
По скидке здорово, за 200 рублей чёт не очень.
Can't play online with friends and the game is pretty bad
A clever local multiplayer. You have to use cunning to fool your friends, in order to shank them. What's not to like? The price is good, the music is retro and catchy. And, most importantly, the Dev is extremely helpful. If you need proof? Check the forums. He's addressed issues I've had left and right until they're fixed. As a gamer, it's important to support these kinds of devs. The kind that don't ignore our issues.
The game runs smoothly, and you can even use a phone app to control yourself, and others, making it a keyboard free local co-op. I cannot stress enough how nice that is. Especially for a game that relies on folks not being able to see your movements.
The game itself is fun. Getting the damn thing started is a pain in the ass and buggy.
"Hidden in plain sight" is just this game but with better response.
-pixel art style reduces player feedback drasticly
+mobile phones and other devices can easily be set up as controllers
Conclusion: If you do not own enough Xinput controllers to play "Hidden in plain sight" get this game.
im lovin' dem graphics. Great game to play with friends!
Richtig gutes Multiplayerspiel für Freunde an einem Bildschirm!
Git gud.
Do not buy this game. Buy "Hidden in Plain Sight" instead.
Thief town is all style and 0 substance. The game plays like this: You and your friends are on screen with a bunch of npcs that look exactly like you and your friends. The objective is to find out which one of the npcs based on movement are actually one of your friends and stab them without getting stabbed by your friends first. This is an incredibly fun CONCEPT but is executed very, very poorly in Thief Town.
Technical problems:
Firstly, every single player has to bind their controls EVERY SINGLE TIME THE GAME IS LAUNCHED. If you don't understand what you're doing and bind the wrong keys you have to walk over to the bartender to change your key bindings using the very same incorrect controlls you just bound. "Couldn't you just reset them in the menu?" you may ask. Unfortunately you still need to navigate the menu with broken controls and then you need to rebind keys for every player. "Why aren't the the controls bound to default keys like the arrow keys, wasd, or the controller joysticks and then editable in the menu therefore solving all these problems?" That's a good question reader, I have no idea.
This game's simple control scheme and design lends itself to using multiple xbox controllers and playing it on the tv, however the game designers seem to disagree. Directional controls cannot be mapped to the xbox controller's directional pad, in addition, mapping the directional controls to the analog stick PREVENTS DIAGONAL MOVEMENT. This almost would be forgivable if the controls were bound to the directional pad but no diagonal movement on an analog stick? It also almost would be forgivable if the npcs weren't able to move diagonally in game, but they are, destroying any player's ability to accurately blend in. I should say that I did make a post about this problem in the forum and did recive a responce from a developer but he blamed the lack of diagonal movement on my controller rather than on a fault of the game. I have tried 3 different controllers that work perfectly fine with any other game on steam but they all suffer the same lack of diagonal movement. So either all three of my controllers break for literally only this game or there is real problem with keymapping. I'll let you decide.
The game also has trouble dealing with high resolutions. Even when I downscaled my resolution to help the game cope I experenced high frame rate issues and screen tearing which I just had to deal with becuase if I recall, there is no v-sync feature and if there is, it does little to nothing.
Game Design Problems:
Even if the technical issues were fixed the base game itself is just badly designed. There are multiple game modes but they do little to solve the problems in design and fail to keep the game from falling into a state of repetative boredom. The premise is to hide as best you can from your friends while trying to figure out who they are. Unfortunately the small arena you are given to move around in in addition to the large size of the player sprites makes it nearly impossible to differentiate between characters. You cannot identify a player based on movement if there is no room in which to move. In addition, you cannot follow a specific character once they are identified due to the flurry of npcs constantly moving over their position. It's like trying to find a needle in a hay stack if the hay stack was bunched up in one location and the hay in the haystack was constantly moving. The best and only strategy is to throw the entire point of the game out the window and begin stabbing literally anything that gets close to you, hopefully killing a player. The game then just tuns into a stabbing death match because everyone knows who everyone else is because trying to stealth at all will just get you stabbed. Your friends might as well just flip coins for fun becase the game just turns into a game of chance with 0 skill, 0 thought, and 0 fun involved.
I paid 2$ for this game and I would have had more fun setting those 2$ on fire and betting on how long it would take them to burn.
Great couch game to play with your family.
한 명의 도적이 된다.
다른 플레이어들과 경쟁을 하여 보다 많은 점수를 얻어야 한다.
다른 npc들 속에 숨어서 암살하기/ 총으로 죽이기/ 아이템 대전.
최대 4명까지 가능하다.
문제는 싱글은 거의 불가능.
혼자서 캐릭터 2개 만들고 플레이 가능.
하지만 재미가 없다.
This game is great if you have friends who share a local network, but I don't.
Es un juego simple, que te permite pasar un buen rato con amigos. No es para jugar todoo el dia, pero rondas de amigos seguro que si :D
This Game is one of Friendship Breaking game, If You Love Your Friends' and don't want to Lose them. Do Not Play with your Friends.
[b][i]Thief Town[/i] is a small local couch multiplayer game where the main goal is to find your friends in a crowd of AI, all the while staying hidden yourself.[/b] Very similiar to [i]Hidden in Plain Sight[/i].
Its cheap. Its short. Its *mildly* entertaining in short bursts. I played with a group of three people and we quickly wanted to go back to our usual games.
[i]No, I don't recommend getting this, simply because there is so little gameplay, and overall reaction was very meh for my group of friends.[/i]
Things that could be improved on? I don't know honestly. I'd say it overall lacks any kind of complexity that keeps a group interested. There is very little skill involved.
it is for n00bs....
Very good game, simple and funny.
best game to play with your friends(local co-op)
Simple, but one of the best local multiplayer games on Steam. With its easy to understand gameplay, it's the kind of game that non-hardcore gamers can easily compete with hardcore gamers in and have a great shot at winning (sort of like a Nintendo game in that regard). Only criticism is that having to configure all four controllers' buttons every time we play is a bit tedious.
Great local multiplayer fun, and an excellent way to start off a nerd party.
So far I haven't analyzed a lot of games on Steam. But I always read analysis. Let's be clear: some games can benefit more from positive user's feedback than others. I didn't need to read at people's opinions to know I was buying Awesomenauts or Binding of Isaac.
But truth is that it took me some time to finally purchase Thief Town. I wasn't pretty sure. And it was a damn good purchase. The game excels at what I think is the most important for a local multiplayer: creating tension and hilarious moments that make you and your friend burst into laughs.
It's not a game you will play more than an hour in a single session (but most local multiplayer games aren't designed for that, to be fair). But it's a game you will surely propose to play every time you and your friends decide to have a fun time playing some local multiplayer on Steam.
Its strengths remind me to Nidhogg: a super easy to learn game that guarantee a lot of laughs.
I picture you at the same spot I was: doubting if this not so specially good-looking game worths the money. Believe me, mate: it is super worth. Highly recommended.
The perfect party game.
The game-setup / character registration can be a bit off-putting at first, I admit. That is because you can use controllers, the keyboard and even smartphones.
But once you get it all set up, this is so much fun to play with friends at a party. Grab a beer (or more) and everybody involved has a good time.
If you play this at a party with more than four people, I can asure you that even the spectators will have fun guessing who is who. Soundtrack is also a blast to listen to.
Very fun party game. Players must identify which character is the other player while trying to blend in. Great to play with many players! Very recommended
Interesting premise and kind of fun to be sneaky. However, the interest couldn't hold us for too long once we realized it was way more fun to just stab everything. In the end, we ended up playing around in the saloon more than the actual game.
good concept
funny to play with friends
recommended
Why is there a 4-pack
Jetzt brach ich nur noch Freunde :(
Ein online Modus wäre noch wünschenswert
Its Pretty fun if you have multiple Controllers, Computers, iPads, iPhones, and or friends ;(
We were drunk and could not figure out how to play this - that's a big flaw for a 'party' game.
For some idiotic reason every player have to setup his own control layout after joining. Gameplay is too random, there is no point in concealing yourself amongst other thiefs since the screen is too small and you can simply stab three guys at once and kill your foes by accident.
Superb fun. Buy this immediately and hook up four pads for your friends, and enjoy!
Жду глобальный мультиплеер.
10/10
You are not thieves. There is no town.
Awesome :D.
Buggy when you play with more then 2 LAN. (last tested with version 1.0)
Well, that was dumb. I enter expecting at least a half-decent game, but no. Games last too short, have almost no variety at all, and I can't even see a little replayability. I can't even make a good name for my character!!!!
Thief Town really is all that and a bag of chips.
Thief Town is a gem in the Steam local multiplayer library for Its fun, accessible gameplay, charming retro pixels, and wacky humor. If you have a set-up that allows for local multiplayer, this is one of the top 5 essential games you must own. You'll find yourself whistling the soundtrack and itching to play another round as soon as you finish the current one.
Best. Game. Ever.
Really fun game
Now here's an innovative game! Highly original gameplay divided over short, fast-paced rounds, that are sure to keep you and your friends on the edge of their seat.
There's probably not that many people that have enough controllers to play with three or four players on their PC, but if you do, boy, you should buy this game. If only because it's not like anything you've played before. But note that the game is a tad less fun with only two players.
I don't reccommend this game till it gets computer a.i. or online multiplayer. So yeah, sorry to the developers for their very hard work but to stay present now a days with games like these you should probably be on console or just mobile, but if you feel you want to be on Steam you should include the prevouisly mentioned needed editions for the new pc generation. And if you say these words developer, "how do you know you barely played the game", the reason why I haven't played so much is because theres not much to do on this game without computers or ONLINE multiplayer, and if you say this, "it doesn't seem that any one doesn't like our game", its probably because everybody viewing the store page grazed over local multiplayer and said, "nope, $4.00 for local, ♥♥♥♥♥ you crazy", and walk away, so yeah, you should make those changes and should probably get more money for the changes, and not just statues looking at you.
When I first played it had no idea what to do. Horrible game, would cut my flesh, rather then play this game.
A delectable aperitif for any multiplayer party!
Great game for local gaming. Fully rebindable controls allow for comfortable experience, while gameplay keeps you sneaky and sharp. Fun and fast-paced game.
This is probably one of my favorite games to play wiyh friends. The pixel graphics go great wu=ith the style of the game. The gameplay is stellar and you always end up having a great time. The only thing they need is online multiplayr instead of LAN, otherwise this game is definitely one of the better games out there. 9/10
I DONT KNOW HOW TO CONTROLL THIS GAME (the only reason i chose this avatar is because to me it looks cool) and i think i wasted my money
This game is an incredible amount of fun. As long as you have someone local to play this game with, it should be an immediate buy.
The graphics are nothing stellar, but the game doesn't require that. The graphics do all blend well together making the game nice on the eyes.
The sound effects are adorable. Whether it is your character laughing at your opponent, or a tumble weed stampede crashing onto screen, you can't help but have a positive reaction.
My friends and I were able to start up this game and jump right in. The variety of game modes kept things interesting and helped make it so that nothing felt stale.
We actually recorded us playing this game. I think the video really helps convey how much fun the game was!
http://youtu.be/vKCSDVFeYCw
I want my money back. Bought this back when it said it was multiplayer on Steam, thinking it actually was, but I guess not. Thanks for nothing.
Great multiplayer game, I've played it with friends a bunch. You can have some people on keyboard and some with controllers.
Took a bit to figure out the controls and the naming system. However, once we figured that out, I very much enjoyed the game with friends. Even a gaming novice can figure out the stradegy and dominate the game. Btw, enjoyed talking to you guys at MAGfest.

Not as good as 'hidden in plain sight'
Fun to play with some friends (local coop) but it's pretty much the same all the time. Gets pretty boring after about 15mins. Get it if it's on sale or you're rich like an arab king.
Вчетвером прикольно, у меня все.
--update--
100% RECOMMENDED GAME..
Very good party game, recomended.
Stabbing your friends is rarely that much fun! You are a thief in a hugh crowd of similar looking thiefs, as well as your friend. Will you figure out who your friends are and kill them quietly, or the other way around?
Really funny little game for local parties (only). We had a lot of laughs.
The detail of being able to play with your phone if you don't have a controller is quite nice and original. Also the controls are simple and you can redefine them every time, it supports properly every single controller I tried on it.
It's well worth the few bucks.
It would be nicer if it had more game modes, though. It ends up being a bit repetitive after a while.
Thief Town is a perfect example of a indie concept gone right. It is one of the funnest local multiplayer games for my PC. There are not that many, but Thief Town stands out. It becomes a real blast as you franticly find and kill your mates, and the other gamemodes are creative, and don't dum-down the experience. As a nice fresh concept, it is only local multiplayer. I am fine with that, the four-kids-cramped-in-a-basement gaming sleepovers I have settle the need for others. Grab some friends, get some drinks, and start stabbing! Soundtrack not only fits, but is 8-bit dubstep. If you like getting your friends for monaco, or even a nintendo game like smash or mario party, you will LOVE this! I heard the app doesn't work that well, but I have controllers.
Honestly, This game is quite terrible, but it makes a fantastic drinking game. I can't recommend it to enough friends. 30 thumbs up
STABTACULAR!
[h1]¿Y las gráficas?[/h1]
Olvidalas, [b]la Jugabilidad es la mejor y las gráficas son perfectas[/b] para el juego.
[b]Juegalo acompañado, es adictivo y más competitivo[/b] que Super Street Fighter XVIII Omega,
y claramante original mucho más original.
[b]PERFECTO para Jugar con Amigos.[/b]
It's like Burning Man but for thieves!!!!!!!1
Noice game m8s
Played with my friend! Whole lot of fun.
8/10
Core gameplay is fun. very similiar concept to AC multiplayer. However, unless you have friends who can come over, you won't be having much fun with this game. It's only local multiplayer so my friends that are not in town can't have any fun with me in this game.
5/5 if you have close irl friends
0/5 if you have friends via internet or friends that live far away
When i bought this game the description mentioned nothing of it being local multiplayer, after the big steam sale they edited the description to say local multiplayer. So stupid

Phenomenal game for my dorm household. Getting together on the couch with some brews is a blast and a roaring good time. Does it need online multiplayer? No. Would it be nice? Yes.
But really, this game is about getting together with your real friends, not the imaginary ones or internet ones, and being social. And in the end thats how gaming became great, and so is this game.
Minor flaw would be I couldn't get my android device to work, BUT to be FAIR, I have a ♥♥♥♥ signal from my room.
For the price this game is a steal. Get it? Hahaha.
Thief Town reminds me of th great couch multiplayer games that are so rare nowadays. Simple, yet addicting gameplay with mechanics that keep it fresh, I can play this game for long spurts of time with friends. Next step is obviously a server based multiplayer, and I am willing to wait patiently for that. Excited for this game, and really enjoying it.
The game doesn't work ONLINE, DOES NOT WORK, EVEN THROUGH Hamachi\Tunngle, DOES NOT WORK.
I liked the idea of Wild West)
i kinda like it :P
I've been playing this off of Humble for a few months now and I gotta say this is an awesome party game. It's simple enough to pick up right away but varied enough that you can play it over and over again. Glad to see it's finally on steam so I can get achievements to prove my superiority.
Thief Town (Город Воров) - это многопользовательская (до 4-х игроков) стелс/сплит/компанейская игра. Именно такими словами и можно охарактеризовать разработку американских энтузиастов.
Сразу вас предостерегу: ДАННАЯ ИГРА НЕ РАБОТАЕТ В ОН-ЛАЙНЕ! НЕ ТРАТЬТЕ СВОИ ДЕНЬГИ, ЕСЛИ ХОТИТЕ ПОИГРАТЬ С ДРУЗЬЯМИ ЧЕРЕЗ STEAM! ТОЛЬКО ЛОКАЛЬНЫЙ МУЛЬТИПЛЕЕР (4-Е ИГРОКА ЗА ОДНИМ ПК).
Если вы всё же собрались за одним компьютером с 2-3 мя друзьями, то веселья вам хоть отбавляй. Есть, конечно ещё один способ игры через интернет, но он связан с использованием виртуальной сети Hamachi (я его не пробовал и некоторые пользователи пишут что у них так и не вышло поиграть с другом не на одном ПК).
И так, если вам нравятся весёлые игры для вечерней компании (друзья, пивко/лимонадик для кого как), то "Город Воров" именно для вас!
Механика на самом деле очень проста и привлекает с первых минут своим интересным исполнением: имеется одна карта и куча людей (ковбоев/воров), так вот вы и появляетесь среди них и выполняете задания, появляющиеся на экране перед каждым раундом. Когда, например, вас оставят в пустыне с гигантскими перекати поле, когда просто вы будете выживать среди таких же как и вы людишек (он здесь играют роль маскировки и активного окружения). Первой задачей в таком случае станет: 1.Найти себя на экране среди других одинаковых ковбоев, при этом не показывая что вы это вы, иначе ваш друг сразу же прирежет вашего персонажа. 2. Собственно выполнить задание, которое появлялось перед началом раунда: например вперёд друга заколоть его ножом в спину, либо в роли шерифа пристрелить его. 3. Радоваться победе и ставить заслуженные щелбаны/пиявки, смотря на что вы с ним поспорили на случай проигрыша.
Сам я играл исключительно сам с собой на одном ПК (печаль беда, форевер алоун), но это ни сколько не расстроило меня, а скорее наоборот - сподвигло к поиску друзей/знакомых для совместной игры.
Спасибо за внимание, ставьте лайки, если понравился данный обзор :)
Some good notes and some bad bugs.
Good: When the game was working it was a huge laugh, having a bunch of people in one room on different devices lead to a lot of smack talk, and a lot of stabbing. The game play, while very simple, is a ton of fun, and makes for an incredible party game.
Bad: We could not get every device working. The biggest boon to this game would be having friends come over and download it on their phones or tablets, but when we tried running multiple platforms together it was bug city. Different devices would log in as the same player, ghost players would be able to run around and stab whoever they wanted (which was hilarious, but for the wrong reasons), and the game would crash constantly or throw people back to the lobby.
I hope a patch comes in the next few days, I will definitely be trying this out again. Recommended, but with a warning.
Way to not use the local multiplayer tag on the store page
Can't play as i have no LAN friends :'( (Warning)
