The game's story is minimalistic, revolving around players taking on the role of spies tasked with completing missions to conquer the world for their respective governments. Players can choose from various agents and locations, but the narrative lacks depth and plot twists, making it more of a straightforward time-waster than a rich storytelling experience. Overall, the focus is on gameplay mechanics rather than a compelling narrative.
- “It's short and free, and the plot is simple; the game is simple, making it a good time-waster.”
- “Agents are allowed to kill any other agent that could jeopardize the accomplishment of the real mission: conquer the world in favor of their own government.”
- “The game features 13 missions around the world, and once the player has successfully completed a mission, they will be able to choose between four perks: life, accuracy, evasion, and intel.”
- “Apart from that, no tutorial, no options, no story, rudimentary and buggy graphics... I have no idea why this 'game' is considered 'very positive' by the reviewers.”
- “The game pretty much boils down to 'do missions to level up, let the other agents kill each other, and kill the ones that are low health until it gets down to all agents going to one mission area and hope you don't die.'”
- “You choose a city at random (there is no information that would guide your decision), then either succeed in your mission (no idea which of the 3 statistics influences what) or fight another spy that decided to go into that city.”
