[Review] Assault Spy (by YouNa)


"Assault Spy is a stylish, fast paced, pure-action game with a dash of comedy."

Assault Spy is an action game developed by Wazen and published by NIS America. This game has received much attention since its Early Access. In particular, Assault Spy's developer Wazen has been constantly releasing news of updates. As a result, their efforts have received positive feedback from users. You can check their update news at the following link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/767930/allnews/


If you are interested in Assault Spy, you may wonder how this game has improved and evolved since Early Access. Assault Spy was officially announced at NIS America's press event in February. At the time, the announcement that this talented indie developer Wazen was developing this game was enough to get a lot of attention. Three months later, Early Access began in May. And finally in October, Assault Spy was officially released.



Its gameplay is similar to classic games you may have enjoyed. It may remind you of the Devil May Cry Series or Senran Kagura Series. This game is also very dynamic so players will not get bored. However, Assault Spy has been upgraded with distinctive art style and funny humor. Of course it is not perfect. It has been mentioned that this game is inconvenient to control with keyboard / mouse. Be sure to use a game controller to enjoy this game more. This developer has solved some issues after receiving feedback from users.


In general, Japanese art-style games tend to concentrate a lot on the game characters. For this reason, users are likely to express concerns about the completeness of the game itself. However, Assault Spy seems to be well balanced. The characters in this game are attractive while the action is fast and easy to understand. Furthermore, the frantic story of Assault Spy makes this game more interesting. I am confident that the different aspects of characters and how they are entangled within the story would be one of the main features in Assault Spy.


To summarize, Assault Spy is not perfect but has enough potential. The overall concept is great. Gameplay is full of fast paced action with great comedy. And the game illustration and voice acting are very impressive. Of course, some control issues and level design seem to need improvement. But given the developer's dedication to this game, Assault Spy will surely get better. So don't worry, dive in!
