Oct. 2025

Short and brilliantly sweet - Assault Spy is a masterclass in character action game design, constructed by someone who obviously has a chokingly intimate knowledge of Devil May Cry and its successors, which Assault Spy is now apart of. It's a damn good entry into character action game space, and rewards legacy-skill among veterans of the genre. The combat is so ahead of the curve of every other game I've played in the past five years, there are, without exaggeration, endless combinations you can use on enemies - so please, after you're done get to the dojo and get theory crafting. While being all too familiar to the rest of the genre, Assault Spy also has something I don't think I've seen in these types of games ever: the ability to switch on the fly between its two characters. This is creates an ocean of skill density for the player, freaking Marvel vs Capcom combos in a Devil-May-Cry like. Who could imagine!? You think I can tell you what's going on with the story? NOPE! I just know you're playing as a kick ass salary-man from Japan and an FBI agent from America. It's pretty sad too, because the voice acting is so great, but gets overshadowed by its amazing gameplay. I really hope the people who voiced these roles get some work where their talent will shine more than gameplay they're apart of. Almost every single move in the game is able to be canceled into another combo, with very little restrictions, if there is a restriction it more than likely results in a massive payout like high levels of damage or getting some breathing room. Which you'll need, this game has mountains of enemies shooting projectile weapons at you to the point you're playing a game that is in part a bit of a bullet hell, but if you ask me is just a design that requires a bit of crowd management. The bosses, as few as they are, are pretty great, but simple. I never failed one after more than one try, and if you know what you're doing you'll consider most of them punching bags. If you do however struggle with them, just wait out their attack animations to strike them down, most bosses only have at max 4 attacks anyway. Overall if you are a hardcore fan of the likes of Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, I absolutely recommend this game at full price - if you're not, please get it on sale, and I truly do mean that. This game is nothing but amazing combat, linear levels, no puzzles, just a slaughter-simulator. . . WITH one exception that I have to talk about. Three-quarters into the game, your primary weapon is taken away and you are forced into a, admittedly brief, stealth section. This is by far the hardest section of the entire game - because nothing in the game has prepared you for this and it comes out of nowhere. I cannot beg devs in this genre enough: stop doing this. Nobody plays Devil May Cry for the puzzles. Nobody plays Ninja Gaiden for the swimming, Nobody plays God of War for the platforming. Nobody plays Sekiro for the damn dissapearing-monkey-boss fight. Why does this continue to happen? Why are action games overtaken with such padding? This is not a feature advertised at all and it destroys the high you have facing down enemies and mastering combos. There is nothing proactive about this at all. Was this put into the game to make the player relax after such hectic boss fights? Well, that failed. Because I was more stressed than playing any other part of this game from a ten minute stealth section, because I knew my progress would be reset and I would once again, be delayed from actually playing the game. Make no mistake - the stealth section is not apart of Assault Spy, and should not be apart of it. I will say this until the day I die: any part of a character action game that is not killing enemies, or on your way to kill more enemies, is a waste of player time, developer time, player money, and developer money. It's just that simple. If you're worried players will be bored and find your combat repetitive, then simply put the time you would put into putting a puzzle or stealth section in the game - into giving the game more combat more depth. What's particularly interesting is Assault Spy didn't even need this became the game has virtually infinite depth. It's a waste of everyone's time. Still, if you can get past that - you can easily beat this in one sitting, and get right back to playing it again. Overall amazing game 8/10

June 2025

Imagine being as talented as the solo dev behind this game. absolutely incredible for a solo dev project.

March 2025

While it contains a bit of jank that comes with solo developed projects, this is one of the best character action games I've ever played.

Dec. 2024

It's a fun little addition to the character action genre, especially considering it was made by a solo dev. Admittedly there are some issues with enemy targeting as well as the visuals being rather boring and enemies becoming stale but for the current sale price of $3.99 USD it is definitely worth it, and honestly not too bad at the full pricetag of $19.99.

Nov. 2024

Hmmm. frequent framedrops (low 20s) on Steam Deck. The story is pure comedy and the combat is simple yet it has variety. Clunky but i don't mind.
