A great addition to evolve the genre!

This game came out of nowhere a few weeks ago for me, and I immediately fell in love with the concept. Controlling a freelance secret spy organization at the height of the Cold War, with a bevy of guns, gadgets and perks to customize your agents with? Also MKUltra? How could I resist? A lot of complaints about XCom type games is the "chance to hit" system, which is NOT present here. Your agents have good aim, the only thing you have to worry about are the things standing in your agents way of getting that mortal or fatal blow, such as their ability to dodge or their cover. This all affects how MUCH damage you deal, not whether or not you miss. Which makes things less of a hail mary for every shot taken. This does take out some of the nail biting moments, but it also feels fair. Besides, the stealth has enough nail-biting moments to go around. With disguises and easy-to-see line of sights of the enemy, theres a fair bit of depth when it comes to the stealth, although getting to the point where you have enough supressors for your team can take some time or sacrifice. The story is very authentic, using all the terms, locations, codenames, and espionage you would expect from a cold war spy thriller. The Investigation Board system is fairly unique, and while simple, I find it to be a lot of fun digging through the lore and piecing things together in such an interesting way. All that said I do have a few complaints. Starting out, this game can be challenging and feel like it isn't telling you things to the extent where you can lose missions because of it. It takes the long-haul approach to teaching you the ins and outs of its systems, so sometimes save-scumming is almost a necessity (I actually lost my first campaign on the second mission in Iron Man mode). Another issue is that the voice acting seems a bit... off. It's hard to feel for some of the characters because of this, and I understand it's a small issue, and I was able to overcome these issues easily enough.

It's all about immersion

I started three times over until I got a grasp on all the mechanics, escpecially on the strategy layer. Some aspects could use a little better documentation. On the tactical layer, the UI is a little janky. It was also necessary to start over to follow the sometimes confusing story (you begin as a CIA-division, yet you already command a group of agents with all kinds of background - so the transtition from CIA to your own freelance agency is a little blurry). Other than that I LOVE this game. I circumvented the non-intuitive fights by going for a non-violent playstyle. Which is possible on almost every mission :) If you follow that path, the game can become an interesting puzzle. You need one agent who breaks through the window to take out a civilist, so the next agent can reach the camera control, so the third agent gets to the secret file, and you have to to that in the right order. This is the basic concept, in game that chain of commands can become complicated and really fun. They got the atmosphere of that era, or at least the Hollywood-version of it, spot on. Think more of Three days of Condor than of James Bond, and you get the idea. The pinboard on which you connect your clues is gamewise not much to do, but it's full of flavor text that enriches the story of the game (most of it actually happens in those clues) and I liked that. It's more about suspense and less about XCOM-style action. The graphics don't look expensive, still really immersive and fitting to the 80s. Again, not the neon-cyberpunk Miami Vice 80s, but brown cassette recorders and ill fitting suits. The soundtrack makes me want to grab a coat and roam rainy streets. Instead I will listen to it in the background while I browsing the internet, but that's my fault. I don't really have to say much about the game mechanics, for me this game is all about the atmopsphere and quenching my thirst for a neglected era in gaming. The developers did a great job!

Intelligence Services

A great game about secret agents with strategic and tactical depth. Yes It has some small flaws (languages and other minor issues), but developers take updates frequently solving problems. it will become over time the best simulation of Intelligence Services in the market I like very much. Very good work Devs

Great game for good money

Playing for 1 whole day and for me it is like smart connections between Commandos 2 + XCOM + Silent Storm2 :) I can recommend it because the price is right for this product, hopefully Devs will polish it some more and add some content in the future. For most missions I use stealth tactics, going throught missions without shooting.When shooting begins it is quite weird seeing enemeies shooting throught end of the map (if they see you, throught glass wals and such), but do remember to keep You focus high and keep in cover, surely you will see some nice action.

Not Ready for Release

This game was release 6 months too early, and did not receive any meaningful QA review. In addition to the many bugs you'll come across, the combat system is completely broken. The development team managed to completely misunderstand how basic LoS/LoF should work, and created a 'solution' which is actually a game-shatteringly awful problem. In addition to this, they managed to created an RNG-free shooting system where *everyone* just shoots each other until someone drops. The tactical part of the game - which is the biggest draw - is simply not fun, and not up to the standards we expect in 2018.
