A tense stealth game with super-powers, set in the 70s, filled with glorious fat pixels. Transform into enemies, dash, teleport, slow time and super-punch your way through this moody retro stealth game.
Players can transform into enemy guards using the "chameleon" power, blending in with patrols and moving freely through areas undetected. However, this disguise drains an energy meter, forcing players to carefully manage when to use the ability. In addition to the chameleon power, players also unlock time-slowing and whistle abilities to enhance their stealth toolkit.
Many reviewers highlight the thrill of planning and executing stealthy movements, only to then unleash a devastating super-punch to quickly eliminate a guard. The variety of stealth tools, including the chameleon disguise, time-slowing, and whistle, allow players to approach each challenge creatively. Reviewers compare the stealth mechanics to classics like Metal Gear Solid, praising the authentic retro stealth experience.
Players can collect power-ups that increase their energy meter capacity, encouraging exploration as they search for upgrades. This introduces light resource management, as players must balance using powerful abilities like the super-punch against maintaining their disguise. Reviewers feel this creates a satisfying risk/reward dynamic to the stealth gameplay.
Reviewers frequently highlight the "feel" of the player's abilities, particularly the super-punch, which is described as highly satisfying and impactful. Other abilities like time-slowing and dashing are also praised for being responsive and well-integrated into the stealth gameplay, providing players with a sense of agency and empowerment.
