About this game Read the full description
Countryballs: The Heist is a comedic stealth adventure with a dash of casual strategy. Climb from rookie thief to world-class burglar by pulling off absurd jobs for eccentric clients — all set in the wacky Countryball meme universe, spiced with satirical geopolitical humour, brought to you by PWA. Plan, sabotage, sneak, and outwit your way to dubious fame or become a creator of genius heists for the community yourself, using the built-in Heist Editor.
Create Your Very Own Countryball Master Thief
To sneak past guards, you’ll not only need to use your environment wisely and outsmart the guards in various ways… you’ll also create your own Countryball from ANY national flag (yes, including overseas territories and regions with limited recognition). Use costumes inspired by real-world traditional folk outfits and cultural items. Along the way, you’ll pick up memorable facts about the many countries that make up our diverse shared world.
In short: A surprisingly educational thieving game with Countryballs.
Become the Main Character of PWA's Countryball Universe
Experience PWA's story about the thieving Countryballs, viewed and loved by millions… with YOU as the main protagonist. As a Countryball rookie who (unwillingly) signs up with a shady spy agency, you embark on a crazy journey around the world, encountering many familiar Countryball characters... and their quirks.
Endless Hot Heists – Community and Steam Workshop integration
Download heists of your friends (and foes) and embark on ever new adventures – or become a heist creator yourself and design challenging Heists for a global player base using the integrated Heist Editor (Steam Workshop integration). This versatile editor allows you to create complete heists with your own story in your native language and share them with the community.
