Crime is not a hobby that you want to be caught doing… I mean, it’s not something that you should be doing either but hey, everybody has their vices right? Joking, joking! Don’t commit crimes kids… BUT, maybe you can pretend. That would be ok, right?

‘Teardown’ is a crime simulation game of sorts that is set in a fully destructible simulated world. 

What this means is that you will have complete freedom to plan every heist you wish to carry out based on the environment and all the different tools at your disposal. In the sandbox mode, nothing but a lack of imagination, ingenuity, and intelligence, can stop you now! 

The sandbox mode is an open-world mode that gives you complete freedom to do your own thing.

Pick a bank, a wealthy celebrity’s mansion, or pretty much anything that takes your fancy, and start planning your heist! You can use anything from heavy equipment, hand tools, explosives, guns, and even vehicles. Whatever you imagine the ultimate heist to be, you can now plan and carry it out to see how it would go down without actually having to commit any real crimes!

Imagine that… You get to simulate as many crimes as you want and who knows, maybe you discover your true talent in life to be a crime. As they say, “it takes one to know one,” so maybe you’ll become a real-life crime-stopper of note simply because you unleashed the power of your criminal mastermind in a video game!

‘Teardown’ also features a full campaign mode with 40 missions for you to play through. The story follows your journey as you start working for shady people. It serves as a very clear example of how hard it is to escape the criminal world once you first dabble your fingers in it.

‘Teardown’ features realistic physics and animations to create an immersive and realistic experience. For players who want to take the game to another level and go crazy with it, there is extensive mod support and Steam Workshop Integration.
