Killers and Thieves

Command Your Thieves in Killers and Thieves

In Killers and Thieves, step into the role of a cunning guildmaster controlling a misfit band of thieves in the medieval city of Greypool. With guidance from Alex Thomas, co-creator of The Banner Saga, this game invites players to shape street rats into master criminals. Engage in high-stakes heists and execute daring missions, all while navigating a world full of unpredictable twists and surprises.

Assemble Your Dream Team of Criminals

Your first task requires assembling a crew that suits your heist style. Choose from an array of characters, each with specific strengths: the nimble catburglar, the expert lockpicker, or the lethal cutthroat. The challenge lies in selecting the right combination for each job, as the steep streets of Greypool throw unforeseen difficulties into your path. The decisions you make can lead to loot or disaster.

The Thrill of High-Stakes Heists

Every mission presents unique objectives, from stealing valuable artifacts to executing stealthy assassinations. In the open world, your guild must carefully stake out high-value targets while managing risks. Tension builds as your plans may unravel with each unexpected twist. Success hinges on your ability to adapt and think on your feet, transforming meticulous strategies into rapid reactions.

Craft Your Narrative in Greypool

The game's story-driven missions pull players deeper into the treacherous life of a thieves’ guild. As you navigate the city and complete quests, your moral choices shape the unfolding narrative. Each decision impacts not just your crew's outcomes, but also the fluid social dynamics prevalent in Greypool. Will you be a ruthless opportunist, or a compassionate leader?

Manage Your Resources Wisely

As guildmaster, maintaining your operation isn't just about executing heists. You must keep an eye on the coffers, ensuring that wages are paid and morale remains high. If your treasury runs dry, there could be dire consequences for your team. Balancing risk and reward with tight management makes every decision crucial—one wrong move could leave you without a crew at all.

A Beautifully Crafted World Awaits

The art style of Killers and Thieves is inspired by medieval illustrations, bringing Greypool's gritty beauty to life. The animation and design evoke a sense of a world teetering on the edge of chaos, populated by vivid characters and palpable tension. Each corner of the city reveals its seedy underbelly, showcasing the clever blend of humor and danger that permeates your guild adventures.

An Independent Vision from Acclaimed Creators

Developed by a talented team led by Alex Thomas, Killers and Thieves marks a significant independent project from the minds behind The Banner Saga. The collaboration with experienced professionals in the industry brings depth to the gameplay and narrative. This game not only answers the question, "What if you ran an entire thieves guild?" but also rocks the genre with compelling mechanics and a rich world ready for exploration.
