  • story
    96 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and straightforward, revolving around players taking on the role of agents tasked with completing missions to conquer the world while eliminating rival agents. With 13 global mission locations, players can choose to be either loyal agents or those driven by bloodlust, but the lack of plot depth and twists leaves much to be desired. Overall, the narrative serves primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay mechanics rather than a compelling story.

    • “It's short and free, and the plot is simple. The game is simple; it's 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 ultimate goal is to kill all of the other agents, and you do that by having higher stats than them and interfering with their missions.”
    • “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.”
    • “Player can be either an agent who is loyal to his/her duty or an agent who wants only bloodlust (too bad the game doesn't have plot twists...).”
    • “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.'”

    The gameplay is characterized as simple and addictive, with a steep learning curve that can lead to a rewarding experience once players grasp the mechanics.

Overall, the game appeals to those who appreciate minimalistic design but may leave others wanting more complexity.

    • “Gameplay is simple enough, yet it is addictive.”
    • “Honestly, as long as the game doesn't get overcrowded with mechanics and remains easy to understand, it fulfills an intriguing niche.”
    • “I still don't know all the mechanics of the game; it seems to me that it's random sometimes. I also hate when I have to use the pill because you can't win.”
    • “Recommended but not much gameplay here.”
    • “The amount of time you can squeeze out of this game varies and is limited due to its relative simplicity while still staying true to raw mechanics.”

Despite mixed opinions, the nostalgic aesthetic resonates with certain players, evoking a board game feel.

    • “- good retro music and retro graphics.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
