About The Masterplan

Can you pull off the greatest heist in the history of mankind?

Drawing inspiration from both legendary tactical turn-based games and classic heist movies alike, the goal of The Masterplan is to put together the right crew, get the right equipment, and finally plan and execute the biggest heist ever.

Set in the early 1970s, the game features beautiful hand-drawn 2D art and an authentic soundtrack recorded by a real band. The gameplay blends a physics-based world and a clever AI system with an easy to approach "real time with pause" user interface.

Early Access and release date

The Masterplan will be released 4th of June, 2015.
PLEASE NOTE that before this time, this is an Early Access release. The Masterplan is still under development and we will be working hard to improve the game right up until it's launch, and beyond! We encourage you participate via questions and feedback on our Steam Forums.
The current Early Access version is fully playable and provides 5-7 hours worth of playtime. It features several heist locations, which are sandboxes, so you can and should play through them several times with different tactics to experience various results.

Current Features

  • Heist your target silently or go guns blazing - your choice (and your consequences)
  • Holdup civilians and make them do your bidding
  • Carry and hide bodies to avoid detection
  • Deal with eyewitnesses
  • Disable electrical systems
  • Outsmart the police
  • Over a dozen playable heists, including everything from a tiny kiosk to a huge drug lord's mansion.
