Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I’m developing CriminalZ as a solo indie developer, and Early Access allows me to build the game alongside the community. With your feedback, I can refine gameplay systems, balance mechanics, and prioritize the features that matter most to players. It’s also a great way to ensure stability and performance across different hardware and playstyles before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to keep CriminalZ in Early Access for 6 to 12 months. This may change depending on player feedback, development speed, and the complexity of new features I want to include.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to release the first two cities initially. A third city is already in development and will follow after the Early Access launch.

Depending on community feedback, I’m open to adding more cities, interiors, and enemy types over time. I’ve built the entire game in a way that makes it easy to expand and extend, but I want to base future content decisions on what players really want.

I’d love to keep developing CriminalZ together with the community — continuously adding new locations, gameplay elements, and challenges. I’m genuinely excited to hear your feedback and ideas!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“CriminalZ is fully playable and stable.

- Multiplayer works for up to 4 players via lobby
- One city map with loot spots and criminal activities
- A functioning economy system and basic skill upgrades
- Police AI and crime-level mechanics
- Working boss interactions and gem rewards”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to raise the price slightly after Early Access as new content like cities, interiors, and gameplay features are added. Early supporters will get the best value and help shape the game while I continue to expand it with feedback from the community.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback means everything to me. I’ll be actively reading Steam discussions, collecting feedback via Discord, and running polls to see what features, content, or improvements players want most. My goal is to build CriminalZ together with the community — step by step.”

About This Game

CriminalZ

CriminalZ is a rogue-lite co-op action game where you and your gang must survive the criminal underworld—while being hunted by the police, stalked by rival gangs, and exploited by your own ruthless boss.

Your mission? Earn dirty money fast.
Your deadline? Pay the quota... or face the consequences.

Play your role—or play them all.

In CriminalZ, your equipment defines your role. Build your own criminal style with specialized tools:

Pickpocket – Silent, agile, and built for quick scores.
Burglar – Breach locked doors and loot the best stashes.
Hacker – Disable cameras and unlock digital gates remotely.
Woosh Dealer – Risk high attention for high reward.

Swap tools. Adapt strategies. Every run is different.

Strategy meets chaos.

Each session starts from scratch. You scavenge trash, make small money, buy tools—and then dive into the real action.

Procedurally generated interiors offer unique layouts and challenges.
Gems are the permanent currency for upgrading and evolving your character.
Permadeath keeps you on edge, but rogue-lite progression lets you come back stronger.

You're never safe.

There’s no "safehouse" once the timer starts:

Cops respond to every crime
Rival criminals hunt you at night
Difficulty scales the longer you survive

And if you don't pay the boss in time... let’s just say, it won’t end well.

Build your gang. Build your legacy.

Form or join a gang. Pool gems together to unlock permanent upgrades:

Inventory expansions
Buffs to pickpocketing, stealth, and combat
Passive income and shared progress

Level up your gang and climb the leaderboards to prove your squad runs the city.

Key Features

1–4 player online co-op (Listen server based)
Rogue-lite structure with persistent upgrades
Skill-based movement, interiors, and stealth
Deep progression with items, stats, and skill trees
Built-in voice chat and Steam friends support
Immersive urban sandbox with evolving cities

CriminalZ is your ticket to chaos, camaraderie, and crime.
Do you have what it takes to rise—or will you fold under pressure?
