Even then, equipment, ammunition and weapons are scattered all over the level so you’ll always have something on hand. You’re limited to a loadout of two weapons and two pieces of equipment though, so I found myself something that worked early on and then stuck with it. As you earn experience and advance in level you’ll unlock plenty of weapons and gear ranging from noise makers, remote hacking tools and throwing knives to silenced pistols and assault rifles. Cameras can be disabled by finding the appropriate terminal to hack and guards can be disabled with bullets, knives, crossbow bolts and a good old fashioned stealthy take down. Each of Filthy Lucre’s 15 levels has a primary target, which may be a painting, valuable documents etc, and several secondary targets that give you a cash and experience boost if you escape with them.īetween you and your score are security cameras and guard patrols. To this end you’ll be breaking into drug labs, penthouse suites and bank vaults of a rival gangster and hoovering up any shiny objects you can get your dirty mitts on.
Filthy Lucre is the debut project from Manchester-based indie developer Fabrik and sees you tasked with recovering the ill-gotten fortune of a notorious London gangster.
