Critic Reviews
Espionage has never been more joyful -- CounterSpy review
CounterSpy does not last long enough, but the time you have with it is an absolute blast. The implementation of the DEFCON system and cover mechanics freshens up an increasingly bland genre, with the spot-on atmosphere and witty writing, feeling like icing on a delicious cake. Throughout CounterSpy’s lifespan, you will die a whole lot, and with that comes frustration. But on the other end of that frustration is an immense feeling of satisfaction as you get one step closer to saving our precious little moon.
90%Pure disappointment -- CounterSpy Review
CounterSpy’s console versions are a blast to play. The controls work effortlessly to guide you through a quick, but memorable adventure. Those controls do not translate well to a touch screen device, something that should have been easily predictable for the developers. For a game built around not raising the DEFCON, the awful controls make that task near impossible. While CounterSpy on consoles is a delight, the iOS version is a near unplayable mess that should be avoided at all costs.

Impressive visuals and gameplay innovations for the stealth genre, Counter Spy is an impressive first offering from this new studio. While it's not perfect, and near broken in some cases, stealth fans who buy on PS4 or PS3 won't likely leave disappointed.
