Game mechanics involve lots of leaping off walls, jumping, avoiding obstacles and what not. King of Thieves also incorporates some elements of tower defense games so give it a whirl if you’re a fan of the genre.

As just mentioned, this competitive multiplayer game includes certain aspects of the tower defense genre. Because other players can steal gold and other items from you as well, you’ll need to defend your personal dungeon.

How? By putting various traps in strategic places! As you’d expect from the finest ZeptoLab productions, King of Thieves sports crisp and colorful Retina graphics, smooth animations and some lively characters.
