Countryballs: The Heist is a comedic stealth adventure with light strategy from pterix GmbH, based on PWA's popular Countryball universe. You play as a rookie thief who unwillingly joins a shady spy agency and travels the world carrying out increasingly absurd jobs for eccentric clients.

Stealth, satire, and memorable characters shape an adventure that stays faithful to the humor of the long-running series, though players who aren't familiar with Countryball humor may not connect with every joke.

Strategic stealth with varied objectives

You start as an inexperienced Countryball thief and gradually build a reputation as a world-class burglar. Success depends on observing guard patrols, avoiding detection, and making smart use of your surroundings instead of rushing into each mission. Every heist presents a different objective and setting, giving you new situations to figure out as the campaign progresses.

Character customization and player-made heists

Outside of the campaign, the game includes several optional activities. You can create a Countryball from virtually any national flag—including overseas territories and regions with limited recognition—and personalize it with costumes inspired by traditional clothing and cultural items from around the world. Facts about different countries and cultures are woven into the campaign, giving the game an educational side without taking attention away from the heists.

The integrated Heist Editor makes it possible to build complete custom missions with original stories and objectives, then share them through Steam Workshop. You can also browse and download heists created by other players, adding fresh missions long after finishing the campaign.

A faithful adaptation for Countryball fans

Countryballs: The Heist brings the humor and satire of the Countryball series into a stealth game built around planning and experimentation. Fans of PWA's work will recognize its familiar style, and the Heist Editor gives the community a reason to keep creating new content after the main campaign ends. Anyone looking for a stealth game with an unusual premise and a comedic tone will find something different here.
