Darkspy delivers the ultimate covert ops fantasy, inspired by the stealth and tactical mastery of games like Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, and Ready or Not.
Whereas all tactical shooters today focus on squad-based, realistic gameplay, Darkspy changes the options available to players by, blending innovative stealth mechanics, a robust skill tree, and deadly cybernetic abilities with a strong tactical shooter base.
This allows the player to create their own unique playstyle like:
- The Ghost: Use lockpicks, ventilation shafts, and other spy gadgets to sneak through levels undetected. Your thermoptic camouflage allows you to hide in the shadows. You complete your objective before disappearing like the wind.
- The Panther: Strike from the dark, using lethal takedowns and devious traps to eliminate enemies. Your enemies start to panic as you watch them from the shadows. As you picks off victims one by one, those who remain beg for mercy.
- The Terminator: Obliterate everything in your path, sparing no one. You reign destruction on your enemies. Enemies quake in their boots. None survive.
- The Operator: Use speed and surprise to breach the target building, eliminate your enemies, and reach your objective. By the time the alarm has sounded, you're already headed to the extraction point, leaving the enemy forces stunned.
- The Hacker: Disable cameras, re-wire enemy turrets, disrupt communications, and cause grenades to explode in enemies hands. Use the chaos and confusion to slip past enemies and accomplish your mission.
Of course these aren't preset, explicitly defined builds but rather examples of "archetypal" builds that players create by using our gameplay systems.
Importantly, while there are games that have combined these playstyles in the past (the Deus Ex series, for example), it has never been done as a tactical shooter.
With co-op, this gets even more interesting:
- Do you and your buddy both opt for a uber-stealth build and infiltrate the secret lab from different sides before linking up near the objective, like 006 and 007?
- Do you and your buddy both go "Zero Dark Thirty" mode and rappel onto the rooftop, kick down a door, and teach those baddies a lesson in CQB?
- Do you and your buddy take opposite builds... with your friend taking a combat-oriented build, while you use a stealth build to support them from the shadows?
We believe that by taking these elements and adding them to the tactical shooter formula, we can create something new and exciting that gamers will love.
