STORY
You play Keef the Thief, a promising young thief who finds himself on the outskirts of the Mercon the Merchant City. Considering the penalty of thievery is the removal of certain body parts, our young hero must be careful in his profession and ultimately (among others) train himself to access and steal from the city treasury.
GAMEPLAY
Keef the Thief is a 1st Person Perspective RPG game while in adventure mode (turn-based). In combat, it changes into a real-time 1st person perspective setting. The game itself was set to be a parody type game, clearly identifiable from various descriptions in the game and enemy names during combat.
The aim of the game among others is to steal everything in site. At least in the city. The game map itself besides the city included various dungeons, jungles and an arena among others.
The game introduces 4 vital elements of game play: Thievery, Adventuring, Combat and Alchemy:
Thievery
The thievery gameplay of Keep the Thief is based on your ability to disarm traps before you can loot the treasure. There are many houses or other places where you can steal valuable objects (at least within the city walls). The higher you skills, the more options you have to rightly pick which course you want to choose to disarm a trap.
Adventuring
When you've stolen everything valuable from underwear to gold crowns from the city, eventually (or just if you're bored) you have to venture outside the city into the unknown depths of the surrounding jungle. There are a lot of places that has yet to be discovered in the game. Just be sure to be well equipped with armor and weapons. Monsters have a bad habit of popping up, almost always!
Combat
The 1st person real-time combat setting comes complete with a top-down radar indicating the your positioning and the enemies. In the combat screen you can melee your way to victory or just shoot them from a distance. That is if you have the appropriate weapons available.
Alchemy
For the most part its Alchemy, though magic spells are also created through this process. Collecting ingredients is one thing, experimenting on what works is another. Sometimes you get lucky and find a recipe. Sometimes.
