About

The Escapists is a game that combines action, indie, adventure, strategy, and simulation genres. It was released on February 12, 2015 by Team17 Digital LTD. and developed by Mouldy Toof Studios. Players can enjoy this game in single-player mode. The game puts you in the role of a prisoner who must escape from prison. You have the freedom to choose your own method of escape, whether it's causing a riot, digging a tunnel, or even stealing a guard uniform. The Escapists features a variety of items that can be crafted and combined to aid in your escape. Life in prison is governed by strict rules that you will need to break. Guards are constantly on patrol and will try to stop any escape attempts. To avoid suspicion, you must attend roll calls, work assigned jobs, and conceal any stolen or crafted items. You'll face a variety of challenging prisons from around the world as you put your escaping skills to the test. The main story can be completed in approximately 20 hours. If you include all the extras, the playtime increases to 42 hours. A completionist playthrough will take around 44 hours.

The Escapists Critic Reviews and Review Scores

It may have its minor frustrations but there's nothing here that really spoils what is an otherwise delightful and endlessly surprising game. It won't be for everyone, especially those who are unwilling to meet the game halfway and learn through trial and error, but those who welcome its open-ended challenge will find that a long stretch inside proves surprisingly enjoyable.

The Escapists makes breaking out of prison as hard as nails, yet soft as taffy.

Escaping prison should be more exciting than this. Strategizing is fun, but the amount of repetition gets tiresome
