The gameplay is characterized by its unique style and mechanics, setting it apart from typical RPGs, but it suffers from repetitive objectives that can lead to boredom. While the game offers a smooth experience and multiple difficulty levels, many players find themselves more engaged with the story than the gameplay itself. Overall, it is considered enjoyable, particularly for those drawn to its dark narrative.
“As for the gameplay, 'Undercover - Blood Bonds' has 60 levels, and you can choose from among three difficulty levels: easy, normal, or hard/expert.”
“Regarding the gameplay, I found it smooth for the most part.”
“But the thing goes down on the gameplay side with the boring and repetitive objectives; as a result, the gameplay became pretty boring for me. I was playing just for the story itself.”
“No, but being serious--none of the gameplay was especially difficult.”
“The style and the ambience is very different from most RPGs, and the mechanics are different as well.”
