Monaco executing its release plan on April 24
Pocketwatch's top-down heist game Monaco picked up a lot of attention from us for its co-op team of specialized burglars and the carefully constructed capers they can execute. After years spent in the boiler, it's ready for go-time. Monaco's Twitter account says the robbing will begin April 24 on Steam .
Each thief teammate brings a focused role for pulling off heists, and I'm torn on who's the most awesome of the bunch, from the hobo-and-monkey Pickpocket combo to the Hacker's reputation as a "modern day warlock." I'm probably more of a Cleaner man—he's the sleepy-eyed fellow adept at silencing nosy guards and championing pattern baldness.
Monaco is still up for pre-ordering on its official website for $15 or a $45 four-pack.
