Burgle Bros v1.2999999

Fowers Games are a bit elusive since they're an indie publisher, so I used this app to try out Burgle Bros, and that was enough: I was hooked. I've since bought the home game and it's my favorite co-op board game ever. It perfectly captures the feel of Ocean's 11 style heist movies, and the mobile version is a near-perfect adaption in style, execution, and music. ... The only downside is that there are some bugs, which comes from being a small publisher. But it is well worth it; this game rocks.

Good co-op game for up to 4 players. You are a team executing a heist. It's not an easy game at all, but it is a fun one to plan and play. If you liked pandemic, you would probably enjoy this as well. All the game mechanics are there and I've enjoyed playing what is effectively a faithful recreation of the physical game. That said, what keeps it from 5 stars is that the game is a complete reproduction and lacks some of the florishes, story, and engagement that digital versions of physical games often have. The difference between winning and losing is a different graphic at the end which felt somewhat unsatisfying. There is also no online multi-player option. The Graphics are the same style as Fowler's earlier game; Paperback. In summary, Burgle Bros is fun and enjoyable to play with others but doesn't take full advantage of the digital medium.

I've never played the board game so I can't compare them but this game was absolutely awesome....until it stopped opening. I made it through all levels until Tower of Babel and it continued to freeze and then not even open. I uninstalled and reinstalled and played through every level again until Tower of Babel and it did the same thing. It will not even open.

Nice game; good theme, graphics and sounds, let down by excessive random elements (arbitrarily impossible room layouts; random guard patrol routines; dice rolling to crack obstacles and open safes) which make it too dependent on luck. Compounded by a lack of accessible useful information and no undo, this makes chance of success range from arbitrary to impossible. Also, it's a 1 player game not multiplayer co-op? Some reviews appears to be of the board game not the app.

The main menu doesn't work and I can't play at all. Please give me a refund.
