![]() ![]() The Escapists does a good job of making each new prison feel pretty differently from the last, although the core gameplay loop is often very similar.Įvery prison has a schedule for the inmates to follow, which gives the game its simulation flavor. The jungle compound has an additional guard at a security booth outside the main facility he won’t let you pass without forging some official documents first. The snow prison camp has a double fence, one of which is electrified, so any escape plan that calls for cutting your way out also needs to include shutting down the prison’s generator. More than just the prisons’ visual flair, the different locations and styles of prisons (ranging from easygoing county penitentiaries to merciless supermax prisons) offer their own challenges to work around and overcome. Some of the locales are quite exotic: a snowy prison camp resembling a much friendlier Soviet gulag, Alcatraz Island, the Tower of London, a prison buried in dense jungle, and even a strange version of Santa’s workshop in which the player becomes an elf trying to escape jolly St. The developers were smart to do this as the variety of prison locations and scenarios is a large portion of The Escapists’ appeal. Initially there’s only one standard prison available (you have to escape each one to unlock the rest), but the DLC prisons are conveniently unlocked from the get go as well. ![]() The Escapists allows players to choose from a list of different prisons that their avatar will be dropped into. For those interested in this quirky hybrid of puzzle, stealth, and simulation gameplay, The Escapists should provide several hours of entertainment. The game’s pixel art style remains as colorful and charming as it did in 2015, if not a bit better, and with all of the game’s DLCs built in there’s plenty of content to play with. Mouldy Toof Studios’ sandbox prison break simulator The Escapists: Complete Edition is now available for the Nintendo Switch.
