Size Five Games is bringing its action/platformer The Swindle to Nintendo Switch, with Curve Digital once stepping up to serve as the publisher. The game will arrive on October 11, 2018.

Already available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PS Vita and even the ill-fated Wii U, The Swindle is a "steampunk cybercrime caper" that lets players burgle wealthy victims and then flee the scene before the police can do anything about it. There may be some violence involved. Just a tad.

The main appeal in The Swindle appears to be the environmental artwork, which looks quite lovely to me, and the use of stealth mechanics and gadgets... which doesn't suit me quite as much. There also are hacking mini-games, and you know everyone loves those!

If you are convinced The Swindle is right for you, know that buying it early will net you a 20% discount, which PR is calling a "veritable steal." Because of course PR would call it that.

The Swindle features randomly-generated buildings to burgle, populated by guards and robots and security cameras and all the stuff you would expect from facilities where loot has accumulated. You'll need to keep an eye out for superior equipment you can gather, the better to tackle more advanced missions and acquire greater wealth.

"The Nintendo Switch release of The Swindle will speak to the most nefarious of players, I suspect," said the suddenly suspicious Dan Marshall, Founder of Studio Size Five Games. "Taking their Switch out into public will present the rarest of opportunities: robbery in broad daylight. We hope players seize the moment and enjoy the game in these bite-sized portions as well as at home."

"The Swindle is a firm office favourite at Curve," said Jakub Klitenik, Product Manager at Curve Digital. "I can't wait for Nintendo Switch players to get a taste for the dark side of crime capers and risk it all for the big score. There's every chance it will steal the hearts of Switch players around the world."

The Swindle will be available to satisfy your thieving needs on October 11, as noted above, and will retail for $14.99 USD or equivalent.
