Multiplayer back-stab ’em up coming to the Switch on February 11th

Skymap Games is proud announce that they’ll be bringing Rude Ghost’s Thief Town to the Nintendo Switch next week. This malevolent multiplayer mayhem is a perfect fit for the Switch, letting you take your betrayal on the go. Practice your guile as you and up to four (soon to be former) friends hide amongst a crowd of NPCs and try to stealthily ferret each other out so you can run each other through.

Thief Town will be available on the Nintendo Switch on February 11th for $7.99 USD, and is still available now on Steam and PS4.

About Thief Town

Thief Town is a local multiplayer-only stealth action game set in a pixel-perfect rendition of the Wild West. Lurk in the crowd, emulate non-player characters, and achieve backstabbing victory. Up to 4 players control identical avatars (the “Thieves”) in a single-screen arena (the “Town”), also filled with other identical NPCs. Players must identify which NPCs are secretly other players and stab them for points, before being discovered and stabbed themselves!

Thief Town comes to the Nintendo Switch and includes the “SPOOKY TOWN” update! With portable local multiplayer fun, Thief Town finally finds its true calling on a hybrid handheld-console system.
