About Grand Shift Auto

The Grand Theft Auto games paved the way for all sorts of crime games and there won't be any signs of slowing down. This game gets right into it by giving you a full city and many things that you need to go on a rampage. The problem is that you are only one man and you've got no support from other criminals, you're just doing this on your own. This means that when the authorities show up, it'll just be you against them. You'll need to have honed your skills with firearms if you hope to get out of these firefights alive.

The goal is to complete as many missions and collect as much cash as possible. All of your stats are shown in the top left part of the screen. As you cause more chaos, the stars at the top will increase and more authorities will be sent to stop you. Once your health drops to zero, that's the end of your criminal career.

When you start, you'll spawn in an open area with an assortment of weapons. You can open the shop at any time to spend the money you've collected on weapons and other helpful things. To collect money, you need to complete missions which will be highlighted on the map as exclamation points. You can also collect money by taking out civilians who may drop some on the ground. The more civilians you take down, the more stars you'll earn and police forces will be dispatched to stop you.

Tips and Tricks

This is a game where you'll need to keep moving as you play. The more you fire, the more attention you'll draw, and soon enough you'll be dealing with groups of cops. Make sure not to get caught out in the open, visit the shop as needed, and weave between obstacles to make yourself a harder target.
