The Swindle

An Exercise in Fake Difficulty

It is one thing to say that a game is hard, and there is certainly a market for that. The Swindle isn't one of those games. To clarify, the missions are randomly generated, and the algorithm doing so makes no effort at all to ensure the mission can actually be completed. The final mission is an exercise in frustration and luck, as you will need to blast your way through walls to reach your objective, but you may have to blast through more walls than you have bombs for. With maximum upgrades. And no way to replenish them mid-mission. This is not difficulty, it's shoddy design trying to pass itself off as difficult. There are better ways to spend your money.
