I have played this game for countless hours. The endless mode is nice because the difficulty does continue to go up. It does get to a point where it is very challenging to play. In endless mode, you DO have time to build up your agency the way you'd like. There are also quite a few settings for game customization that can give a very different game than the campaigns. Others are right about the campaigns being too short, but having played the campaigns first, the endless mode was a treat. They are also quite right about it getting repetitive, but this is a game where you have to think and check your work before making your move. You WILL make mistakes, but many deaths are avoidable if you have the right items. When I got my fill of playing it, I started modding it. And that's where the fun really started. They could have done much, much more with this game, and by looking at the code, it appears they intended to have more done by release. I have made several mods and plan to release a bundle of them to the Klei community. If you know anything about programming, this is a fun and fairly easy game to mod and I'd highly recommend it. My main complaint about the game is that it is not very deep in skill development. You have 4 skills with 5 levels for each skill and that's just kinda boring. They fill up fast in endless mode. Second complaint is that in endless mode, you will eventually end up with way too many credits and nothing to spend them on, and that's kinda boring too. But really, all of this could be fixed with mods. They add new items, new agents, new guards and guard AI, new augments, and have the potential for everything up to and including complete conversions. I would highly recommend this game to any stealth game and turn based strategy game lover. The two go so well together in this game. The art style is really good and the enjoyment I have gotten out of this game was well worth the asking price, and I hope you enjoy this game as much as I have.
When you unlock something, the text that goes with it is usually pretty funny. This game was fun to play. It did not last long, about 2 nights for me. In some ways, that's a good thing - you can get your fill of Final Fantasy style fighting without having to commit to the extremely long Final Fantasy game/plot. This game was pretty easy, but worth playing. My only gripe is that it "evolves" way too quickly. Seemed like they had a chunk of game that was too short so they added the evolution thing at the beginning to make a full game. Great idea though!
