The gameplay of "Spy Chameleon - RGB Agent" features a unique color-changing mechanic that enhances its stealth and puzzle elements, making it easy to pick up yet challenging to master. While the level design introduces new mechanics progressively, some players find the gameplay repetitive and the stealth mechanics poorly implemented, leading to frustration with controls and enemy detection. Overall, the game offers polished mechanics and engaging puzzles, but may not hold players' attention for extended periods due to its lack of diversity and depth.
“The stealth gameplay is mostly a joy; if you like Metal Gear, Tenchu, Styx, Dynamite Jack, etc., you'll be right at home here, and the choice of normal or hard difficulty and the bonus objectives amplify the replay value.”
“It is easy to pick up and play, but the levels make you think, and the experience is kept fresh by new enemies and mechanics that are introduced as you progress.”
“The color change mechanics are well thought out, easy to learn, and nicely distributed across levels, which creates some very interesting puzzles.”
“My friends bought me this game as a joke to force me to play a game with the most generic possible looking assets and gameplay.”
“The level and puzzle design are rather weak and the stealth mechanics are poorly implemented.”
“Levels feel more like a chore than fun, perhaps due to the simplicity of the goals and repetitive gameplay.”

Have some high points, but they soon give way to glaring faults. Not the worst, but difficult to recommend.

Despite Spy Chameleon being developer Unfinished Pixel's first game, the Barcelona-based studio has done a great job at simplifying a genre that can be daunting to newcomers. While some may be worried that this simplicity comes at a cost, the game also offers up a healthy challenge to experienced players. It may never reach the high points of a Metal Gear Solid or Thief game, but it does provide a constant helping of highly polished fun.
