Breaking Bank

Background

Breaking Bank is a homage to Payday 2, a four-player coop and PVP game with a set of low polygon style 3D models. The target platform of this game is PC. The game's objective is to rob the bank and share the wealth. The player can join up with up to 3 other players and choose different classes for different special powers. About the gameplay, the objective is to break the vault and get the money. The player can finish the heist without triggering any alerts. If the player triggers the alert, the player must survive surrounded by police. Besides, there are different tools for opening the vault, and the player needs to place it in the right place and protect it to keep running. The game includes a usable UI and is integrated with the Steam platform to create and join the game session.
