Requires Epic Online Services AND an Epic Login. Unlike some other games that install EOS behind your back, this is one that wont work without it. Avoid.

Picture Gang Beasts or Human: Fall Flat, but with significantly worse controls and a half-baked heist mode. Pick this up on sale if you want a laugh and have some time to kill with mates and own a controller. Cannot recommend playing this on keyboard.

It's like PAYDAY on minimal settings xD. Overall pretty fun to play with friends, mechanics are also interesting. So I recommend taking your friends, buying everyone a copy and go play! For CO-OP this game is a great option.

A fun game about robbery in co-op. I played it with a friend and we got positive emotions. Oh, how much we tripped over each other :D We will have a choice between different animals, among them can be: crocodile, monkey, rooster, moose. I was a crocodile in my session and my friend was a moose :DD. I can recommend this game for evenings with friends! At the moment it is Payday 2.5

This is basically a janky payday with janky controls. It's hard to get used to the controls, but once you get it figured, it's not too bad. The game recommends using a controller, and I highly suggest you do so. While playable solo, this game is one of those kinds where you'll be missing 90% of the fun not playing with other players. So for any of those that really prefers playing by yourself (like me), keep this in …

Your crew of 4 mutated animals, lead by a disgusting human criminal mastermind, is out to cooperatively commit serious crimes (rob everything) in various (actually nine, including the tutorial) rather large locations. Beat the security guards senseless, eat all tacos, drink every energy drink you find, and above all, stuff as much gold and money in your…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game certainly has potential but there are some glaring problems with it that force me to not recommend this game. The Keyboard and Mouse controls are abysmal. This game is barely playable without a wired controller. My friend and I purchased as the same time, he with a wired controller and myself with not, and the disparity in responsiveness is huge. This is a big deal, as to pick up or interact with items, buttons, etc. you need to physically move your characters arms up or down using…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thoroughly enjoying the game so far. I love the goofy and chaotic nature of all the characters you play. I’ve yet to play co-op but I’m hoping it’s just good as SP. Worth your time 🙂
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When i start the game it opens up my browser and take me to Epic Games website which is stupid and multiplayer doesn't work

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controls are clumsy, tutorial and gameplay were boring, dead lobby. Feels like a cheap mobile game port. Might be passable for very young kids in co-op except I still think there are better games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UPDATE: One of the developers responded quickly and was as helpful and polite as possible. Apparently there has been issues with epic and steam accounts linked in the past and unlinking and relinking supposedly fixes the issue. I've already been refunded and no longer wish to attempt to get multiplayer working but did want to point out how quickly the dev responded and how polite they were. I still think this small issue was annoying and will but do appreciate the dev's efforts and good…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Online Co-op is incredibly laggy, hard to play right now Part 2: Jumped back on after they did an update that said helped with the lag and I think it got worse. My buddy and I both have solid internet and have no issues playing other coop games. This one seems to have a lot of network issues.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is exactly what you see on the store page, and if that's what you're wanting you should be happy. I was perhaps just wanting more. Any game is fun with friends, so I can't praise them too heavily for that, but it is a decent enough co-op game to play for a laugh and it definitely doesn't hurt that only 1 person needs to own the game to play 4 player co-op using Steam Remote Play. That said; Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator is comparable to games like; Overcooked, Moving Out, Tools Up,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played solo no problems had a lot of fun! Tony is funny and some later levels got hard but I had a great time. Don’t listen to people saying you can only play if you have friends

neutral · AI labelView post →Well there COULD HAVE BEEN a good game here. But... the controls are completely useless! I've played THOUSANDS of games, but never such lousy controls. Literally everything including just moving around was a fail. At first it was kind of funny tripping over everything and the environment is cluttered so it's constant. Then after falling down, it takes like 5 seconds to get up. The time adds up very quickly so you end up wasting LOTS OF TIME. Just try throwing an object, which is required. I…

No matter the host or connection quality, it de-syncs and lags out with a 30 to 60 second delay or even freezes entirely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit for Developer response: Yes, all that has been ruled out. It most likely is something with the game itself, probably due to syncing physics. No ping issues, packet loss, on local fibre op connections with high Up/download rates. We can swap…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quickly becoming one of my favorite games especially with friends. We’ve spent hours just in the shop throwing stuff about and dying, it’s great to troll friends and make them rage quit. Best is monkey because you can leave bananas everywhere and watch your friends fall over and get zapped. If you ever want to make your friends so mad they stop talking to you this is the game for you.

Gather a gang of a variety of players on the internet and through the competent actions of our comrades, produce a bank robbery, while neutralizing the other players who are trying to stop us. Each game character, has its own unique abilities and with their help, we will be able to quickly distract opponents and arrange for them to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a great excuse to gather a group of friends in your living room to have fun from the soul. A lot of fun and fun is guaranteed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a fun game. Fans of co-op should definitely enjoy it. I want to note the rather juicy picture and locations of the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a little gem. I've only played single player at the moment but want to try the multiplayer soon. At first the controls feel a little clunky (not surprising as your character has just been mutated) but stick with it and once you understand how the mouse interacts with your movement it all makes sense. It's fun experimenting with items in your environment and what each of the food and drink does and what additional abilities they give you. I can say that it feels like there will be a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not a bad game, it would be more suitable for portable consoles (switch, steam deck) ok for the evening
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Real fun game! Especially with friends. Found myself just wanting to annoy the gang while they try complete tasks! Would recommend, really fun party game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is the perfect game for anyone who's ever dreamed of being a criminal mastermind, without the pesky consequences of real-life crime. The game allows players to plan and execute elaborate heists, all while trying to avoid the prying eyes of the law. But what really sets Filthy Animals apart is its sense of humor. From the quirky characters to the absurd situations they find themselves in, this game never takes itself too seriously. Whether you're blowing up safes or stealing priceless works…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spent all day on this game with friends, while we figured it out, while we played Emotions a lot, all positive Glad I bought it, I advise anyone and everyone (who has friends)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying this one! Love the chaos, cute animals, PIGEON! and the puzzle solving. The controls are challenging but it's definitely part of the appeal here for me (playing with a controller). Filthy Animals has lots of character, great humour, rewarding challenges and plenty of unique levels to keep me going! Highly recommended!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only played a couple of hours, so far I’m really enjoying it - it’s not so stupid as it looks, there are real challenges and a lot more depth than you think. I’ve only played single player - going to player tomorrow with a few others
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Initial thoughts after a couple of play throughs with friends, really enjoyable mechanics, much like Human Fall Flat and Gangbeasts, you'll be knocking your friends out at any given opportunity, although the idea is to complete the heist... Music is surprisingly catchy. Level designs are pretty decent with teamwork required in certain situations, which may be difficult when you've knocked your friends out again, occasional surprises like cars knocking your friends flying or armed guards just…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Filthy Animals | Heist Simulator" is a fun game where players join a gang of mutant animals and rob banks, hijack trains, and raid temples. It has eight unique heists, physics-based puzzles and combat, and can be played alone or with up to four friends. The game also features an atmospheric soundtrack.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool game, very cool to play it with friends. Definitely recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool heist game with funny design. It's better to play with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game based on humor and physics, I suggest playing in co-op for even more fun. For me, it's hard to get the hang of the controls at first, but then it becomes fun.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ever wondered how it feels to be a blownup balloon animal robbing stores and banks? Me neither, but this is the closest you can get! The controls at first are a bit quirky, feels like a newborn baby learning to walk and stumbling on everything, but after a while you get the hang of it. First heist introduces you to many elements of the game that you will see repeating in the next levels, but each level I played so far adds something more, with the second heist providing longer gameplay and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that I advise you to play only with friends. Very fun game to have a good time. control at the beginning seems inconvenient, but then you quickly get used to it, I hope the developers will not abandon the development of the game and will add new levels
