IGP First Look – ‘Master Spy’

This IGP First Look has us taking on the role of the highly skilled stealth agent Master Spy. Except we’re kind of terrible at being spies in any kind of masterful way.

Master Spy gives stealth a little 2D spin, having you work through increasingly complex bases as you sneak your way to your target. You’d think this would be easier as you have a coat that makes you invisible, but an array of cameras, explosive pressure plates, laser traps, and more add some steep challenge.

Master Spy is a lot quicker than many stealth games I’m used to, and this additional speed makes for some sharp, sneaky action that can be highly appealing even as you’re getting caught repeatedly (like I was). This and the array of traps and complex situations make it well worth checking out.

PS – We’re trying out adding commentary for the first time with this video! Please bear with me as I embarrass myself.

Master Spy is available now on the Humble Store and Steam.
