Excellent roguelite timewaster. Gameplay is fast and furious, and it'll take a while before you get good at it - but that's half the fun! With successful runs lasting a half hour (and failed ones ending much more quickly!), this is a great game for those looking for quick play sessions.

Excellent game that comes highly recommended if you enjoy either stealth games or roguelikes (or both!).

The stealth mechanics are consistent and predictable. When played carefully, the game acts almost like a puzzle game, as you manipulate guards to avoid detection. Pure stealth is complicated by the escalating security measures, which add a soft time pressure to the game; take too long, and added patrols will eventually overwhelm you.

Roguelike mechanics are present, in the form of a short campaign designed for replayability, randomized loot opportunities, and of course permanent death and loss. The game is designed to be played numerous times, with different strategies and difficulty levels; a choice of many different agents and initial programs means that you can try out different builds and techniques with each run through the game.

There are a few minor gripes. Many agents and gadgets just feel subpar compared to their alternatives. Stat breakpoints are everywhere, most obviously Anarchy 2 to unlock pickpocketing (which gives you all the loot from guards without needing to KO them, a very valuable mechanic in a game where KO'd guards will get back up and start hunting you!). The game feels less balanced the later it stretches, though the vanilla game features a time limit that'll keep the length fair.

All things considered, I'd strongly recommend the game. A few flaws are overwhelmed by a slew of positive and well-executed mechanics, plus a beautiful art style and engrossing world.
