Evaluation
Vandals launched on April 12, 2018 as a self-contained puzzle game with a fixed set of content: 60 puzzles, 5 cities, 40 backgrounders on street art history, and 18 achievements. The store description enumerates this content explicitly and does not reference any planned expansions, DLC, or ongoing updates. No DLC has ever been listed for the game. The developer's news history shows no major content releases, feature patches, or bug fixes at any point after launch — eight posts were scanned and none indicate post-launch content additions. The one notable developer communication is a publisher milestone post from October 19, 2023, in which ARTE celebrated 10 years of making games and ran a sale across their catalogue. While the post mentioned "big things to come" from ARTE broadly, this is a general publisher statement about their future portfolio — not a commitment to add content to Vandals specifically. The game shows every indication of having launched as a complete, finished product and received no post-launch content cycle.

About this game
Vandals is an infiltration game that will transport you to the most emblematic cities of street art. In this turn-based game, the aim is to sneak around police surveillance and spray walls that grow harder and harder to access.
From Paris to Tokyo, via São Paulo, Berlin and New York, follow in the wake of ultra-famous street artists like Blek Le Rat and Keith Haring.
With Vandals, you can bomb your alias on the walls of New York like Lady Pink, paint childlike characters like Keith Haring, or get inspired by the poems of Miss.Tic and write your own.
After Type:Rider, Vandals is the new project by Cosmografik. It is a video game published and co-produced by ARTE - the European cultural TV and digital channel - and Ex Nihilo.
It is easy to learn, and the puzzles promise hours of immersion and pleasure.
