The story in "Invisible, Inc." is generally described as minimal and somewhat cliché, serving primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a central focus. Players engage in a series of procedurally generated missions as part of a spy agency, with a time limit of 72 in-game hours to prepare for a final mission, which many find to be abrupt and lacking depth. While the narrative elements, including character backstories and voice acting, are appreciated, the overall consensus is that the story could benefit from more development and variety to enhance replayability.
“The story was simple but effective.”
“The story is good, but it is quite short.”
“The story is minimal, but very interesting, like all their other games.”
“The main storyline is very short, but it took me quite a few tries to beat it on experienced difficulty.”
“The whole story was utterly disappointing, really. The world-building felt lazy, the cyberpunk themes were extremely shallow, the characters were just emotionless talking heads providing you with exposition between missions, and the ending... oof.”
“I feel the game could have been more if the story had been, well, a story instead of just a loose bracket around the missions.”
Invisible, Inc. Review
In a genre that's traditionally concerned more with open combat, Invisible, Inc.'s stealth focus is a revelation. Chock full of smart game design, you're gifted plenty of options in how you approach your mission, and despite having so many tools at your disposal, it remains satisfyingly challenging, without ever crossing over into being unfair. While the roguelike progression could potentially be a downside for some, the high level of customisation around the difficulty settings will swiftly rob you of this complaint. Simply put, if you have even a passing interest in turn-based strategy games, you shouldn't let this exceptional title sneak under your radar.

As overwhelmingly terrifying as it can be to learn, Invisible Inc just so happens to be a ridiculously compelling experience. The congregation of turn-based strategy, stealth and roguelike seems like an odd grouping, but my word, it works so very, very well.

Invisible, Inc. is a tense squad-based strategy game, simultaneously honouring and reinventing the genre with neat twists and smart design. While the main campaign is short, it's rich enough to want to play again straight way, focusing on different types of missions, going after different upgrades, or trying to free new people to join the team. The only thing lacking, perhaps, is a multiplayer mode, which could have been a fun inclusion. Overall, this is a must-play game for TBS fans, or those that feel like they might enjoy a smartly made game of hacking and heists.
