While the rumoured shutdown of United Front Games is yet to be officially confirmed, the company has now announced that anyone who bought their early access game, Smash+Grab [official site], on Steam can request a refund, regardless of how many hours they've actually played.
]]>Rumour has it that Canadian studio United Front Games have closed down with a great suddenness. They're best known for open-world crime simulator Sleeping Dogs, and most recently took multiplayer futurecrime brawler Smash+Grab to Steam Early Access. United Front haven't formally announced anything yet, but scattered tweets and whispers suggest they're done for. Smash+Grab has been pulled from sale too. Heck, this is mighty sudden - S+G held a free trial only last weekend. Hurling a brick as a Hail Mary pass.
]]>3v3 competitive futurecrime simulator Smash+Grab [official site] is currently holding a free trial weekend on Steam. Currently in early access, it's the latest from Sleeping Dogs studio United Front Games. Pip and Alice (and Graham but he's off swanning around on hols today, flashing his raided jewels) have played a bit together and now reconvene to discuss crimes.
]]>Smash+Grab [official site], the new crime 'em up from Sleeping Dogs developers United Front Games, is now out in early access. It's team-based futuresports about gangs smashing up shops and stealing stuff while interrupting the other team's efforts with a bit of a kicking. A bit like Sleeping Dogs, it's big on melee combat with grapples, counters, and whatnot. Smash+Grab actually came out last week but evidently I missed it because that name makes no impact at all.
]]>The studio responsible for open-world martial arts brawler Sleeping Dogs is bringing out a competitive multiplayer punch-up set in a corporate dystopia, they announced today. Smash + Grab [official site] will feature the contestants of an underground competition in which factions smash windows and break down the doors of shops to collect as much loot as they can, fighting off other gangs in the process using third-person combat. The first gang to scoop $50,000 worth of riot loot wins. Come and see, it looks daft.
