I got this in a big bundle over on itchio quite a while ago and it turned out it was one of the onlyworthwhile games that I didn't already have in that bundle. So I decided to get it on steam to throw the devs some bucks (that's why my playtime here is just half an hour)
It is pretty much a heist-planning-sim. It reminds me of the old game "The Sting!" ("Der Clou! 2") just a bit simpler.
It is not really compareable to games like thief simulator, because the main danger here is alarm systems, not humans.
But as plenty of people know neither game:
It is a game where you simulate heists on your state of the art fictional 80s computer. you start out outside of a building or simlar and need to get inside to steal something specific (or photograph something or similar). The alarm systems are your obstacles on the way and you surpass them by your trusty laptop and it's very simplified command interface. You can, for example, open doors using it, but most doors can only stay open for 3 seconds or the alarm goes off.
During the game you get more and more tools, like a mini-remote-controlled-robot. There never are any human guards, thankfully.
Unlike other stealing type games (like the aforementioned thief simulator/the sting) you're only interested in one thing, you do not actually steal all that isn't nailed down.
Later on there is a sequence where you plan a few heists for more than one person at a time. I really didn't like those because of some clunkyness involved. Thankfully they were over again quick.
The story is.. meh. It's mostly a cheap framing device for the heists, and I already forgot most of it despite having fully played through the game earlier this year.
The graphics, well, look at the screenshots. That's what you get. It's blocky and low res. But other than oher games, in this one it really feels those graphics were used for style, not lazyness. For example, it uses real textures, not 10x10 pixel ugly ones like so many indies I could list. They're still low res, mind you, but with a high enough resolution to not be an eye sore. For how simple it looks, it looks fine.
Now price.. It's currently half off on steam, autumn sale, and I think this price, $10, is a fair price. I'm not sure I'd recommend it at full price. After all, it's an 8 year old indie game that's quite short. I'd say wait for a big sale like the current one.
Quadrilateral Cowboy is an excellent, albeit very short, puzzle heist game. Blendo Games drops probably their best game to date. I loved Gravity Bone 16 years ago when I was a kid, but Thirty Flights of Loving disappointing. This game is no disappointment. Once again, they excel at immersive storytelling without a single line of intelligible dialogue. We follow three friends and their numerous heists over the years. It's less about the heists themselves and more about the bond of these three women. It's a nice simple story, but the gameplay is the real highlight. The heists are brilliantly crafted to take full advantage of your arsenal of tools to solve the increasingly intricate puzzles cleverly disguised as heists. Instead of hitting you all at once with everything and hitting you with a glorified manual like some other puzzle games. The difficulty increases on a curve as more tools are provided to the player. You start with a computer deck for hacking electronics in the environment. I love the approach of typing out commands like a real computer. I won't list them all out, but the case gun is my favorite. The puzzle design is more akin to a Zachlike than a Mystlike. To explain, instead of restricting you to one solution for you to figure out, you're given wiggle room to experiment and solve it in a number of ways. I gotta give compliments to the unique art style indicative of a Blendo Game. The boxy character models and cyberpunk architecture is unique and inspired. I really wanted to explore more of the world. If I had any complaints, they would be with the short length and soundtrack. I have no issue with the music itself, I just don't think it fits the cyberpunk setting. A more atmospheric soundtrack would be better here in my opinion. Regarding length, because the game eases you into its mechanics by introducing tools over the course of the campaign, by the time you get them all, you only have a few missions to use them before it's over. Bonus missions or just an extended campaign would've been nice. There are some workshop maps, but I don't count that as a positive for the vanilla game. I recommend Quadrilateral Cowboy to fans of puzzle programming type games. (8/10)
cool
A really interesting heist game with a deus ex flavor.
It's more about puzzle work than Deus Ex but the feeling is still there.
Fantastic.
I love this game so much ~
The way Blendo Games tell stories is just masterful.
honestly one of my favorite games ever, portal level puzzles in a game filled to the brim with personality
:)
