The gameplay of Klepto is currently hindered by poor optimization and numerous bugs, which detracts from the overall experience. However, players appreciate the game's interesting mechanics and features, such as hacking and a mission system, and express optimism for future improvements as the developer is actively working on enhancements. Despite its early access status, the concept shows promise, though it requires significant refinement.
- “Klepto is an interesting title. At $9.99, it's not worth it in its current state, but I'm still going to recommend it since the developer is so dedicated to making this game perfect. As of yesterday's dev log, he has actually put some research into the game's mechanics to ensure they are authentic. There are so many cool features in the game and those that will be implemented, such as hacking, picklocking, disabling alarms, and even a mission system.”

I look forward to seeing how it goes in the future as it looks promising.”
