The Masterplan (Video Game Review)

There are many heist games right now on Steam, and each one comes with its own unique set of challenges and variety that you have to cope with. The Masterplan is a title that manages to bring you an extraordinary gameplay and other cool mechanics, while also being able to make you feel exactly how it would have been to play the role of a thief in the 1970s.

The Masterplan starts off easily, with you trying to get out of jail, but the gameplay difficulty quickly ramps up as you try to find more and more challenging jobs. The title offers a very interesting set of missions that are seamlessly combined into a story that actually makes sense.

What makes The Masterplan so interesting is the fact that it allows you to create a plan at all times. You are the only one in control of all characters, and each character has a wide range of interesting skills you can use.

I liked that players can accumulate items from the game world, which is a major plus, but at the same time there is no automatic element, and you can do everything with the mouse, so you can avoid using the keyboard completely. You can hire goods if you want, or you can pull off the heists on your own if you want. The objectives are there, of course, but you can try to pull off everything with perfection, that’s a given.

There are lots of options you can use in order to play the game. Players can opt for going guns blazing, which is really good, of course, but on the other hand you can opt for a stealthy approach. In the end, it all comes down to you, but rest assured that the experience gets very intense as you play. In the case of my gameplay experiences, I wanted to perform the heists alone, but I just couldn’t as sometimes there are way too many challenges that come out of this. Still, the game does a great job in providing you with a very intense experience since there are always options to check out as you play.



Another thing I liked about The Masterplan is that this is a game which doesn’t hold your hand at all. Instead it gives you freedom in regards to the way you play and how you want to complete missions, which is amazing. There is a slow motion mode that I found to be very useful when you want to plan the attacks, but at the same time you do have the opportunity to manage the crew at the beginning of the game.

The intensity of The Masterplan’s gameplay reminded me of heist movies, this is how intense and realistic it really is. You can control people at gunpoint and make them do a variety of things, but at the same time you can also try to kill them and do that stuff on your own. There are so many options to choose from, and it all comes down to you and the way you play.

There are so many options in this game that you can barely keep up. Still, there’s a lot of fun to be had here and it’s an amazing experience to explore new missions, complete challenges and just have fun. It’s a very good title and one that has a nicely designed interface, lots of missions and a ton of replayability, since you can easily try out the levels multiple times until you find the best results and challenges. All in all, The Masterplan is indeed a game of strategy and tactics, but the strategic component is just as beautiful and intense!
