Who was the first to put together peanut butter and chocolate? A part of me feels like it has to be loaded by anyone. So, combining two already amazing flavors has made Reese more or less the whole brand. And I think part of me plays it like the fictional guy who invented the chicken McNugget with wire. Tapping the back from the big shot will return to the basement to find a way to make the fries taste better. I don’t know the answer. I hope it is the former. But sometimes you come across a combination of ideas, things. And every time my squad and I sprinted to the dropships that traveled our time, we stopped just to deal with the Reapers of Time that were in our way. A thief before pizza.
Setting up your Pizza Bandit is very easy. You are Malik, a former bounty hunter who dreams of being a chef pulled back into the bounty game when he is scamed from the pizza shop, and his former crew needs his help to get out of the jam. Pizza Bandit’s writing is pretty ridiculous, but that’s part of the appeal. Albert on Android upgrading your weapons I can’t get mad when he tells me that he doesn’t know how to apologise for what happened to my pizza shop because he’s just an Android, or when my pilot waxes nostalgic about how he misses the fog, or when someone gives out a strange, pointless line. It’s just too ridiculous, the whole setup is just there, and well… it sets up the quirkyness of Pizza Bandit.
See, you’re not just a grace hunting crew. You are the blessing hunting crew of time travel, which means you go beyond space and time to get the job done. Don’t ask me how this works. What I know is that pizza is healed, bullets killed, time leaper, nasty little thieves who seem to be breaking into every timeline – don’t want this pizza shop owner to make dough. And it’s not going to fly.
What makes pizza thieves unique is that you’re not just filming them. You’re also playing with a bit of cooking. After a straight walk, my first mission was when my crew (where you can play with up to 3 friends) headed to the restaurant from N Owhere. Our Work: Meet other prize team pizza orders and send them in time travel rocket pods. That means I don’t really like to pack up the right kind of pizza, reach the oven, make sure you order your drinks correctly, add bullets when things get spicy, stuff everything into the pod, interact on time, and support small businesses.
And that’s where the other parts of the excess/gear marriage of war come out. See, Reapers means business. That’s their whole bag. The only solution, Bandit’s companion, is incredible violence. I’ve played some pizza bandit builds at this point, but let me say your Arsenal is up to the job. I’ll start with the selection of Assau LT Rifle, Minigun, and Sniper Rifle, but once I complete the task and start unlocking my secondary weapon, the fun really begins. They start simply: landmines, hand rena bullets, such as, unlocking the disco balls that dance before attracting enemies and explodes? Yes, buddy. And Sentry Turret? perfection. You can slice Time Reapers in Katana to make them into dice, but have you ever thought of a pizza slicer as big as a man? It will change your life.
And the reaper will force you to use everything in your arsenal. You just got the standard guy who runs to you, but there are also people who draw Terminators on fours, people who are watching Terminators jumping at you, people who are huge with a hammer, people who throw fireballs (these can really ruin your day), works, and works too. You have to prioritize.
When you’re on a good team, the pizza bandits are in top condition and call orders. A good match is the cry of “We need Pepperoni!” And there are lots of gunfires scattered around, “I’m in Coke!” and “I’m down!” A simple choice spices up more complex things, such as a one-time mission rocket pod full of pizza and supplies when making a call yourself, and where to place it (which can block stairs, for example).
And here’s it: So far, I’ve just talked about restaurants from anywhere. This is just the first level. Pizza Bandit is not a one-trick pony. One of my favourite levels is taking over the sushi joint and making sure you have the right one on the delivery turntable for your customers. It means sometimes you run downstairs, grab a big old tuna, take that bad boy upstairs, and the mow will smack you and choke him before you drop him. Other times mean deep frying eggs and making cucumber rolls. New customers are prioritized over the old customers and they don’t intend to wait for Reapers to sit there and plate their masterpieces, so they need to go ahead of the curve.
Sometimes you don’t even cook food at all. Another favorite level, the Wizard’s Tomb, explores a tomb magically trapped in a booby in search of stone co. You need to navigate the traps of the grave, uncover how to solve basic puzzles and move forward, and remove the arcane mind that drives the entire enterprise before you can reach the stone co. It’s not enough to just get a certain job done. You have to go home too. Just another day in the life of a pizza thief.
Of course, there are many more. In one, we’ll protect the cabin with Dr. Emmert Brown (Great Scott, Joffsoft, you know what he’s doing here. I like it!). To get it all means to keep him warm, satisfy his hunger with rabbits and venison, stopping all the nasty time reapers (and Wendigo?) trying to keep him warm. You’d think you’d understand that the reaper understands the paradox of time, but I don’t think so. Without time to reap, you can’t reap the time, y’all.
Or maybe you’ll break into a huge safe with a laser drill, just like you’re role-playing the opening scene of Michael Mann’s Thief with a constantly exploding drill. I think that’s safe, right? But hey, obviously in that safe there is a magic cookbook that can change reality, and we are paid to get it. Pizza bandits always get the job done.
And there’s always time to impersonate your best breaking bat and help a few guys cook “magic powder” and hide it in the chicken. Oh, you have to kill and cook the chicken. Fresh, never frozen, baby. Pizza bandits have always been a slut dic and their inspiration is obvious, but it’s never fun.
During the mission, you will be back to Pizza Bandit (your restaurant). There you can acquire and upgrade weapons, decorate the pizza bandits themselves, share pies to boost stats on your next run, or get a gorgeous new guy for the Bounty Hunter. Milk carton backpacks are a classic choice. If I say so, I’m still saving one of the cat’s. Is I right what we do for fashion? Then it’s back soon. Thieves’ work never do.
Sometimes you don’t know you want something until you get it. I didn’t know I wanted a Pizza Bandit until I first played it on Pax two years ago. It was one of the games that generated a lot of word of mouth, but it’s one of the concepts where it doesn’t seem to work until you get the controller in your hands and everything makes sense. I don’t know why I’ve never got anything like Pizza Bandit, but I wanted more once I played it. Pizza is soothed, bullets are killed, and Pizza Bandit Rocks. If Jofsoft can post a landing, we’re taking part in a delicious slice of New York pie.
