Spy Drops Gaiden

A fun 2D stealth game with gameboy type graphics. I recommend playing with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse. The only criticism I have of the game is that mini radar can block your view in some areas. But after few hours of playing you'll get used to it.(And you can disable it if you want even though in some areas the radar is quite useful) Thanks developers for giving me a free copy and listening to my feedback!

Fantastic!

This is a really cool game! I didn't think I was going to like it at first. It's based off another game that got mixed reviews, so that really threw me off. I haven't tried the original Spy Drops myself yet... the Price and the poor reviews stopped me from giving it a chance but Spy Drops Gaiden is great for the price and very nostalgic. I just wish there was a Game Boy Color option. Would love to see the game in Color also, or maybe a Super Game Boy filter. So far I have no problems with the game other than I feel like the Soundtrack gets stale pretty fast. It needs a better soundtrack for the Missions IMO but for $5 it's hard to complain. The game is cool. Hope the Dev keeps making games in this format. I play some of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zhjm4BMJoY

I was drawn to the game's overall aesthetic since my dumb brain loves two things: Anime girls and the whole Metal Gear series, and it is impossible to look at Spy Drops and not immediately think about Metal Gear in my opinion. First of all, I want to clarify I haven't finished it yet (I will do it eventually tho) but I believe I've already seen pretty much all the mechanics it has, and to put it shortly I like it so far. The problem is, if you ask me to wether I recommend it or not I wouldn't trully know what to say since it has A LOT of things to improve. It'll go as a positive review but it is more of a neutral review to be honest. Also, I'm not gonna comment on the story, all I'd say is that I don't have any complain about it for now. Then, about what you can expect for this game: It seems to be a very short game with just 8 playable missions (and some bonus stages in between) and the only replayability it has is for when you want the best record in each one of the missions or for when you unlock the hard mode. I believe that's ok for how cheap it is. Now let's start with the basic: In comparison with the very first two Metal Gears to ever exist, it adds 4 more directions for …

The first thing that stands out is the game’s presentation, which recreates the feel of a handheld game through a limited color palette, chiptune music, and retro sound effects. The color scheme initially sticks to green, but completing certain missions unlocks a few additional colors. There are eight missions in total, played in a linear order and set on the same enemy island. The premise puts you in the role of Ripley, a rogue agent who offers her infiltration skills to the highest bidder. Fans of stealth games will quickly recognize the franchise that inspired this one, with the walkie-talkies providing the first obvious clue. They trigger incoming call scenes in which you speak with your boss or colleagues. The story itself is nothing particularly special, sticking to the familiar formula of saving the world from bad guys. Gameplay revolves around sneaking through stages. Each mission takes place on an open but linear map. You can move back and forth between areas, although backtracking rarely serves a purpose unless a mission objective specifically requires it. A minimap in the corner reveals the layout of the surrounding area and enemy positions within a few steps of yo…
