Critic Reviews
Patience is key - The Swindle review
The Swindle is one of the most difficult games of the past few years. Many other products have tried to recreate the "frustrating but rewarding" concept to no end, with a majority only achieving the former. Thankfully, The Swindle is not one of those games. While it will bring about more than few disheartening deaths, the eventual reward of upgrading your abilities and toppling a previously difficult enemy will outweigh any annoyance. In a world filled with overly difficult titles, The Swindle knows how to blend its mechanics together perfectly to deliver one hell of a rewarding experience.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
