Casual but Excellent Spectacle Fighter
Many spectacle fighters like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, have multiple weapons to choose from, each with their own moveset. They're also demanding when grading the player's ability to master their mechanics. Assault Spy doesn't have quite as large a moveset, and isn't nearly so strict, but it's still more than capable of keeping you entertained. I enjoy spectacle fighters like the ones mentioned above and Metal Gear Rising, but I'm not particularly GOOD at them; middling at best. But I feel more competent at Assault Spy. Asaru's and Amelia's smaller movesets (compared to other games) makes them easier to fully grasp and master (though there's still plenty of moves to buy with your hard-earned points), while its comparatively more lenient grading system makes it easy to get A's (but you'll need to work hard to earn your S and SSS ranks). It's still plenty of fun; you can pull off some crazy combos with both characters, both of which have launchers, some form of teleportation (Amelia has two), and high-speed dashes and attacks. There doesn't seem to be much difference between Easy and Normal mode, up until near the end of each character's chapter, where the difficulty noticeably ramps up on Normal My main complaint about the game is more a pet peeve; characters will have conversations during gameplay, which are exclusively in Japanese. Subtitles are provided, but you likely will have a hard time looking at both the action and the subtitles. All in all, I really enjoyed the game. Get the Elite Spy Editon so you snag the rockin' soundtrack too.
