It’s the 1970’s: the era of Funk, flared jeans and disco-fueled Saturday nights. A crack team of expert thieves turn Grand Larceny into an art-form by using their many talents to break into the richest homes and steal the finest jewelry - all to finance their hedonistic lifestyles. That is until a lucrative museum heist in Venice involving a famous jewel known as ‘The Green Tiger’ ends in betrayal and the team broken apart. Five years later the remaining gang members reunite with a plot for revenge against their traitorous former comrade – but naturally, their plan will also make them rich beyond their wildest dreams…

Crookz is a tactical strategy game set in the funky 1970’s with a slick and groovy atmosphere. Show off the art of thieving by plotting stylish heists and robberies; utilizing espionage and quick-thinking to avoid detection. Implement a successful strategy by assembling and kitting out your team before the job and planning the best way in.

Kalypso Media invites players to celebrate its birthday Anniversary Sale with massive discounts on Steam, the Mac App Store and our Kalypso Launcher. Players can save up to 75% on Kalypso titles and title bundles, but act fast as the Anniversary Sale discounts will end on August 17 on all platforms.

To make this anniversary extra special, a free demo of our upcoming tactical heist game, Crookz – The Big Heist, is now available exclusively on Steam for PC and Mac. Steam users can test their heisting skills across the first four missions of the game for free before the title launches globally on August 25. Those who want to go for “the big score” can take advantage of the Steam pre-purchase offer and receive 15% off their pre-purchase, along with two bonus DLC items and the original digital soundtrack.

To make the score even sweeter, Steam users can receive another 10% off their pre-purchase (stackable, not compounded) if they already have Tropico 4, Tropico 5, Dungeons, Dungeons 2 or Omerta – City of Gangsters in their Steam library*. Master tacticians may notice that the required Steam titles are discounted during the Anniversary Sale, and if planned right, the total savings would be a steal.

*The 10% off discount will continue to be available until December 31, 2015. Steam users must have the titles listed in their Steam library to receive the discount before purchasing. To stack the 10% discount to the 15% pre-purchase discount, users must have the listed games in their library, and pre-purchase Crookz – The Big Heist before the pre-purchase discount ends on August 24.
