Spy Drops

I find this game's development to be a good object lesson. The developer released the game with AI voice, and got a number of negative reviews, with that supposedly as one of the major reasons for it. They changed it (I don't know what it cost them to do that), and basically nobody changed their review to positive who had put it to negative, they simply changed what they were complaining about. Personally, I felt the AI voice was a quirk you got used to in 5 minutes (I played this when it came out and beat it), nobody who actually liked the game was really going to be that put off by it. The lesson is that you really shouldn't listen to your detractors; I'm sure if the developer made more changes, the detractors would just find something else to be upset about. Still, it's a fun game, and if you like the idea of a roguelike MGS retro type game, you'll enjoy it. I got what I wanted from it, and I think it deserves a positive review.

(Please ignore the playtime and lack of achievements. I played on a different account.) I'm gonna say a lot of mean things about this game. So it's important to clarify that I really like it, first of all. Spy Drops is what you get when a group of developers who have no idea how to make a Metal Gear game try to make a Metal Gear game. Overall the game is like a 4/10, but occasionally it shows you something fascinating that makes you go "Damn, I really wish this game was good." If it were good it'd be like an 8/10. Alas. Let's start with the soundscape. The music is good! Pretty unmemorable, but good! The rest of the sounds range from bad to acceptable. It's got pretty good locational audio, which is nice for a stealth game, but god help you if you try to take anyone hostage by pointing your gun at their back. Because my god. Your ears will explode. The graphics are also pretty nice! It's clear that more work went on the MC than anything else. But it's a good looking game! The final boss in particular, from a visual standpoint, was quite fun. They could be better, but overall I do like the look of the game. Let's talk gameplay. The gameplay tries to combine traits from the ent…

I want to love this game so much more than I do. It is the death of a thousand cuts. A mission based procedurally MGS that implements little of what made MGS great, and fumbles the majority of what it tries to do well. - Some missions can't be completed because the people you are supposed to get documents from don't give them to you. - Tells you to bring C4 to destroy things, but C4 doesn't work and you end up having to shoot the objective with a gun. - Sometimes you get detected through walls, or through catwalks. - The money system is poorly implemented - The dream catcher system is a neat idea but poorly implemented - CQC is just bad - Never found the point of having a peak function - I understand that you are going for a retro ps1 aesthetic, but this pushes it in a lot of places - The plot has a whisper of interesting things happening but largely whiffs - Procedural generation leads to nonsensical maps, tripwires guarding an alcove with nothing in it or guards walking around a random wall with nothing there. If you see this game for a few bucks, you should give it a shot, because after beating it, I'm left hoping the studio tries this again with a larger budget and mor…

Im posting a review mainly cause a bunch of clowns were bombing the game and crying in the discussions cause of ai voice acting, not holding their end of the bargain ''No real voice acting, no buy''. Bout the game itself, if youre expecting MGSV then youll be disappointed, dunno bout how it compares to MGS1, since I was poor growing up and not being able to afford a PS then. As a stand alone game, yeah, it not bad, and c'mon its a 15$ game by what a single guy/small team its not fair to expect a Kojima game, dont you think?

good game

What even the hell is this?
