The gameplay is characterized by its smooth mechanics and unique style, differing from typical RPGs, but it suffers from repetitive and boring objectives that detract from the overall experience. While players can choose from three difficulty levels across 60 levels, many found the gameplay not particularly challenging, leading some to engage more with the story than the mechanics themselves. Overall, despite its flaws, the game is still considered worth playing for its intriguing narrative.
“As for the gameplay, [i]Undercover - Blood Bonds[/i] 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.”
“However, the main gameplay itself, where Vera (or whoever the playable character is) has to serve customers, runs well.”
“But the gameplay suffers due to the boring and repetitive objectives; it became pretty dull for me, and I was playing just for the story itself.”
“None of the gameplay was especially difficult.”
“The gameplay is hindered by its lack of challenge and engaging mechanics.”

“Regarding the music, there are a few tracks which suit the tone of this story well.”
