As a die-hard Totally Spies! fan from Singapore since the very beginning, Season 7 and this game were an unexpected love letter. From the staple that is bubble tea, to AIYA Academy being named after a quintessential Singaporean expression, I'm very impressed by the representation. Yes, the game is designed for younger audiences, but there's plenty here for those of us who grew up with the show, or even with the original Metal Gear Solid (tons of overlap I'm sure). I'd still say it's more of a Totally Spies! game than simply MGS for kids.

Missions are completely linear, with replay value in collectibles and challenge achievements. But they aren't short and give you plenty to do — there's a reason the mission speedrun achievement is a whopping 30 minutes, a full-length episode. The stealth sections are straightforward but do take a bit of patience. The puzzles are good, varied and didn't give me a headache, but I really like puzzle games so YMMV. Unfortunately the camera is mostly fixed, and even though it looks like you can move it with the right analog stick you only get a few degrees of rotation at a time for some reason...

The game can be played entirely solo, but you do have to control each spy yourself, one at a time, even though you choose one for yourself before starting a mission (I chose Sam, of course). Plus each spy has unique gadgets, unlike the show where all 3 get the full set, but I personally like it for the gameplay variation. It would've been nice to have an option to issue orders to the other spies and have them be CPU-controlled — much like NPC companion(s) in some singleplayer games. Having to move each of them from point A to point B gets annoying quickly. There is a special type of checkpoint that warps all three girls to the same spot as a sort of catch-up mechanic but it feels very underutilized. All that said, the game makes switching between the trio quick and easy, but it's clearly designed with co-op in mind.

Story-wise the game does seem to assume you've seen Season 7 because there's hardly any backstory. The game opens with the spies already in Singapore, getting WOOHPed into their first mission briefing. And well, Season 7 hasn't even aired most parts of the world yet (although Cartoon Network UK has just uploaded S7E1 to YouTube). So you probably won't be familiar with Zerlina (she's Jerry's daughter and the new face of WOOHP; Jerry has retired), Toby (he's the one making gadgets, replacing G.L.A.D.I.S.), or Glitterstar/Mei Lin (the bubble tea shop owner). This doesn't detract from the game, but I miss Jerry already (then again, so do the girls).

Despite how different the spies sound because of the new season, their dialogue is written very faithfully to the series. Sam remains focused, Alex can still be a ditz, and Clover is sassy as ever. I dare say it's one of the highlights of the game! While the cutscenes are fully voiced, the written dialogue isn't, so you could totally read it in their original voices if you wanted to and they still fit perfectly IMO. The music is fantastic and what you'd expect from the series, but the sound design is weak, and there isn't a separate volume slider for voiceovers — plus the voices get drowned out by SFX at times (for better or for worse...). Weirdly enough the note that plays when you get detected reminds me of Dishonored. It's also incredibly jarring at first, but I guess you get used to it?

If you manage your expectations for this game, it's still a fun nostalgia trip. There's surprisingly a full game's worth of content, but no harm waiting for a sale (full disclosure: the game is extremely cheap here in Singapore, I know it's like 40 USD). I don't know if it's going to win any awards, but this being the first Totally Spies! game in 15 years, and actually a decent stealth puzzle game while not just being a MGS clone, I'm very very happy with what I've seen and played so far and can live with the quirks. Here we go!

I decided to wait until after publishing my 100% guide to this game before writing a review because I wanted to experience everything it had to offer prior to giving my thoughts. But first - I wanna address the elephant in the room; my name is literally Totally Spies Lover. I've been a diehard fan of this show ever since I was a small child. I grew up watching multiple episodes a week and not really having many people to talk about it with until I started using the internet. You may think that because I'm so invested in the franchise, it would give me a bias towards this game. But I want to make it clear that as a fan it's important for me to see the game for how it is, while also judging how it fairs from a longtime fan point of view. As someone who has been watching the new season as it airs in France, and have rewatched the previous seasons many times, these are my genuine thoughts and feelings towards Totally Spies! Cyber Mission.

Cyber Mission is based on the newest season of the show, meaning it's set in Singapore and introduces a few new supporting characters. Since the game doesn't introduce you to them, I guess I'll do the honors.

Zerlina is the new boss of WOOHP, she is also the daughter of Jerry. I found her personality admittedly pretty flat in this game. In the show, she takes after her father in quite a few ways. Although I don't mind Zerlina being the spies' new handler, I seriously think that Jerry retiring because he's "too old" is ridiculous. Hog. Wash.

Toby is the gadget inventor of WOOHP. He creates the wide array gadgets used by the spies.

Glitterstar (or Mei Lin) works at the I Spy Bubble Café, which is a frequent hang out spot for the spies. Think of it as their new mall/Groove, and Glitterstar is their new (non spy) friend.

If you ask me what I think of the new characters, I would tell you I am indifferent to them. Except Toby. I don't like Toby that much, but that's not a reflection of how I see his character, it is a byproduct of the show wasting the potential of an older character but that's also something you'll have to ask me about.

The game itself is stealth/puzzle oriented. Each level is linear and you have to utilize all 3 spies in order to complete the missions, which is cool for multiplayer - but very annoying for single player. There will be many times where you make progress on a screen, only to find out you need another spy to cut down a door or press a button. Now you have to switch back to the correct spy (who is probably at the start) to catch up. After a while, it gets tedious. The character switching is at least very fast, allowing you to quickly switch between multiple spies at once if you're quick enough. I think what this game needed was a quick switch though. You hold down the switch button and it brings up the wheel, but pressing it should change you to the next spy in the wheel.

I also like how each spy has her own gadget to use, but some gadgets are better than others. I think the best gadget is the freeze spray. It allows you to be a bit more offensive (and unlike the confe-stix) you can freeze an enemy anywhere, which allows you to be creative in using other spies to create a distraction so you can switch back and ice them.

I didn't play with other people so I can't say how fun the game is in multiplayer, but the single player does feel like an afterthought - like this game was meant to be played with more than one person. The AI will either follow you or stand where you left it depending on the level's section. It's not the worst CPU I've ever played with, but there have been times where it got stuck walking into something and I had to switch to them just to get them unstuck to move on, but that rarely happens. Thankfully, the AI can't be caught by enemies, which means if you get cornered by an enemy you can try your luck and switch to a different spy before you get caught. In some cases you may even be able to hide behind them, but I've yet to test it out properly

Every level has its own collectables to collect (wow!), this ranges from blueprints that'll let you upgrade your gadgets, souvenirs from the spies' room. The souvenirs are a bit of a missed op, being random stuff and refs to the new season and not the older ones. But the collectable that's consistent with each level are the microchips. There are always 3 to get, and although they are color coded you can get them with any spy. They don't reward you anything, you just collect them.

The missions are loosely based on episodes from Season 7 and are structured in a way that makes it feel like you're playing an episode. Like I said, each level is roughly 20 minutes long, so one mission might take you a little over 40 minutes to finish. This isn't really a game you play for a few minutes, you should probably have at least an hour of free time if you're going to want to progress steadily. That said, there are only 5 missions in the game, so I'm thinking - casually, the average player would finish it in maybe 5 or 6 hours. The reason for my extensive playtime is only because I was checking every nook and cranny.

In terms of bugs , I have come across a few but only 2 were big enough to warrant a menu restart. Sometimes after a cutscene the spy I was playing as wouldn't move. This is fixed by switching to another spy. Also, while crawling in vents, sometimes you may end up in a odd position that will cause you to only be able to change directions and not move. Just try to move when you can and you should be able to fix yourself, this usually happens when turning.

As for the major bugs, I don't exactly know how this happened but after switching to another spy and switching back to Sam, she somehow teleported inside some crates and was unable to move .

Secondly, during the end of the final mission, I selected the option to retry the level and it started me back at the last checkpoint. Okay... not what I wanted, so I walked into the mission marker again and selected retry, which again put me back at the checkpoint. I then walked into the elevator and fell out of the map. These types of bugs seem to happen after doing very specific stuff, but in regular play, it's always the minor ones.


I'm sure all of you are aware that the English voice actors from the previous seasons aren't returning for the new season and by extension, this game, so the spies are voiced by the new actors. To be completely honest, I don't like their voices at all. I don't believe they fit the characters, and half the time I'm not actually sure who is talking (doesn't help that they seem to recycle dialogue in some cases). On the writing side of things, it at least feels Totally Spies enough for me to look past it, although it does the same thing Season 7 does by toning down some of more characteristic traits of the spies. Yes, Clover still loves shopping, Alex is the sports lover who can't resist cute animals, and Sam is still the smart one, however this game focuses on the new aspect of Sam's character being that she's a gamer.

I have much more to say but I've reached the limit. TL:DR, certain things make me happy as a fan, and while I do think the stealth does get monotonous there's still fun to be had, particularly if you're familiar with the show and the creative use of gadgets. If you're considering getting this game, buy it on sale and get a couple of friends.

Decent game. Nothing special. Again, as a longtime avid TS! fan, at least it's better than Totally Party. It had to be better than that to get recommended from me.

I rate this game 6 compowders out of 10. 6/10

Watch this show right now

So far so good! I'm loving it!

To be honest, I was expecting a game with a quite worse story and niche gameplay, but actually - it's not that bad!
The humour and attitude of our favorite spies stays, ready again to kick off some butts with their funky gadgets.
You can fully play solo if u want to or play a couch co-op with a friend/family member. It allows also that Steam option, aka - Remote Play Together.
The minus of playing solo is that u gotta bring all of the girls (most of the time) from point A to B, which gets annoying overtime.

Will be maxing it out <3 Hopefully we'll get more games in the future with our favorite fashion icons.

why this had to come out a decade later?

Totally Spies - Cyber Mission is a fun game
It's not amazing, but if you are a fan of Totally Spies and just want a reason to spend more time with the girls this is a great way to do it.
It would have been nice if they could have got the old voice actors back, but this is still a fun and simple casual game to play

Here we go, here we go, on a mission undercover and we're in control, here we go, here we go, We're the Totally Spies so we'll get on with the show !

I bought this solely for the nostalgia and didn't really expect much from it, but I ended up genuinely having a great time playing it! It's simple and a little clunky, but the missions are engaging and there's a good amount of replay value since you can go back through to collect missed items and there's a difficult setting for each level. I would probably recommend getting it on sale, especially if it's something you're on the fence about, but if you're looking for something to unwind with, this is a great option!

Totally Spies! (That's all), It works. It's fun for all ages!
Sam Is Best Spy!!

Love TS, love the new season so far, and can't wait for more games. The game runs good, gameplay is okay, though I wish there was more interaction between the girls.

I don't understand the hate here.
IT'S TOTALLY SPIES!!! JETIX OR MARATHON PRODUCTION or whatever...
IT'S FOR KIDS!!! What were you expecting? Resident Evil with Splinter Cell and GTA crossover?
Yes, you have to do three times (sometimes) the route, but with different goals.
I don't see anything bad, it's fun, it's relaxing, just like that.
Don't listen people, BUY IT!
