Snap & Grab

A charming heist game that tries to be a bit of an Indie Hitman (2016) though with a much smaller scope. A bit rough around the edges but most of the biggest issues have been smoothed out. It's a good first episode and hopefully the rest will release Soon™️ Writing is fun, there is some Lupin the Third dynamic going on with the protagonist and the detective hounding her, but with all the sexual tension that Monkey Punch was too cowardly to make explicit.

So far, this game is very No Goblin, in that it's unique, it's humor is generally hit-or-miss, and is full of quirk, charm, and jank. The art direction and animations are lovely, even if the 3D ones are a little stiff and glitchy (especially during cutscenes). The music and voice acting is incredible. And the gimmick is unique and appealing, as you plan the heist with photos, observing for all sorts of options and opportunities. I'm still early in the game, but I do feel pretty comfortable with saying this is a solid buy (especially on sale, like it is currently), so long as you're aware of these issues. First, it's episodic. For what I've been told, the later episodes won't be free updates. But you CAN get all the episodes in the No Goblin Complete Collection bundle. Do it now before the later episodes add to the price. Second, you only get one save file, and I don't think you can reset your progress. While you can replay missions, you cannot replay the story and its cutscenes. Hopefully, they update with the option to have multiple save slots, and the option to restart the story. Or at least replay cutscenes. Third, it's not a hard game. Because you're not doing the heist, and you get easy retries if the heist is failed, there's not much challenge. It's also not very dynamic, at least compared to Hitman games. Most of the challenge comes from strategizing the plan, rather than attempting it.

・写真家である主人公がその立場を利用して盗みの現場の「下見」 ・お目当ての獲物 / 犯行の障害となるもの / 障害を取り除くものを「撮影」 ・撮影した画像をもとに「犯行計画」を立て、クルーに「実行」させる といった一連の流れで行われるドロボウパズルゲーム。 カートゥーン＆コメディ調で、盗みは知的な方法ではなく、 なぜこれで捕まらないのだろう？というおバカなノリで毎回獲物をゲット。 エピソード１：『ペントハウス』ということで プレイ可能なステージはペントハウスのみ。 ストアページの１つ目のトレーラーに仲間４人と１匹が登場しますが、 エピソード１に登場する仲間は２名のみのようです。 ２つ目のトレーラーは今後リリースされるDLCの映像のようなのでご注意を。 ストーリーぽいものは冒頭に少しあっただけで エンディングらしきものは確認してません。 約1000円の価格はお手頃に感じますが、もし今後リリースされるDLCが エピソード１と同程度のボリュームだとすると、 全DLCの総額はお高いような気もします。

Snap & Grab is a pretty unique indie puzzle game where players take on the role of Nifty Nevada, a fashionable photographer who also happens to organize robberies on the side. Instead of stealing things directly, we are tacking photos of everything important like guards, valuables, traps, and more. Those photos are then used to create plans that the crew will carry out. Visually, the game is very stylish, featuring glamorous neon 1980s aesthetics, colorful locations, and a great soundtrack. The voice acting is also surprisingly good and fits the overall vibe of the game really well. The game feels like a comedic version of Hitman World of Assassination. There are some visual and gameplay bugs. For example, during the investigation phase there might be no guards in a certain area, but once the heist starts, guards suddenly appear there anyway. The game still needs polish, though. Despite its flaws, it’s still quite a creative game with some potential.

I really hope they redo and improve the character models to have even a fraction of the charm that the 2D art does. I love everything about this game, but the character models are distractingly unrefined. If you're able to look past that, this game is just exceptionally charming.

PROS: - Art style. Stylized over realism always adds more character. - Voice acting. - Puzzle game dressed as a colorful heist game. Essentially you're the person doing reconnaissance before the actual heist and plans it out. - MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SOLVE A PUZZLE. Always a welcome thing. - It doesn't take itself too seriously. Putting on a chef hat is already considered being "disguised." - There's Corgis. A bunch. CONS: - Volume Mixing. Please fix it. Sometimes even when the audio settings should be correct. It doesn't really reflect what we hear. It'll just sometimes jump from normal to a megaphone in your ear then to barely hearing anything after cutscenes or "running" your heist. - Animations. Some of them just clip onto each other. When I ran some heists, NPCs would clip into each other. - Sometimes weird puzzle solutions. There was a puzzle where it shouldn't have worked but worked anyway.

A very stylish but very janky game. Snap and Grab is a Hitman-style game but you commit heists with a crew instead of solo assassinations. The current release is Episode 1 with one level. There are quite a few objectives and extra challenges but it is still one level without much variety so be aware. The gameplay is focused on taking pictures in the level to plan your heist. You construct your plan and watch it play out, adapting it if you run into any snags. There are quite a few ways to complete levels which allows for a lot of player freedom, but bugs can frustrate your schemes. For example, a later mission requires you to stop a laser trap. When you take a picture of it, the info you get is it can't handle being wet. Okay, so I grab a soda from downstairs to dump on it. But wait, there is a second laser and it needs to be stopped at the same time. There's a snag, which I fix but getting another crew member to simultaneously dump a soda on the second trap (this is where I learned you can do two actions at the same time if they are the same type of action, which felt like a natural way to teach the player, well done.) So I deactivate the traps and grab the goods and... it didn't work. The alarms still went off. I don't know if I messed up something, if the Paper Soda Cups are not flagged a liquids, or if the solution is stright up bugged. So I just abandoned that plan and made another, which didn't feel very good. There were quite a few screwed up animations and camera placements during the heist scenes too. The game needs more polish and maybe a fastforward button for the hesit sequence so people don't have to rewatch the same thing over and over again trying out solutions for a problem at the end of a heist. The style is currently the best part of this game (although I have high hopes for the gameplay after polish gets dumped on it). It's is ridiculously 80's and even has some good vocal tracks playing which really sell the atmosphere. They even had an animated credit sequence which got a smile out of me, it was very charming. The story is an earnst love letter to criminal fiction like Lupin III and Sly Cooper. There isn't much story yet but what is there is enjoyable beginning. The charcters are archtypes but have some fun writing and good enough voice acting to give them some life (Rio Rivers and Brick are my favorites so far). Good luck to the dev team, I hope you are able to finish and polish this game, as lack of content and jankiness are the two biggest marks against this game right now, everything else was great.
