Little things like not making a mistake when you are walking, mistiming a certain action, or simply leaving a conversation too early can give you away. At first I thought playing the Spy would be easy, I mean how hard could it be to act like a NPC, right? Apparently very hard I came to realize after playing my first couple of matches. Both roles play very differently and focus on different things, but what is shared between the two is a crucial attention to detail. While the concept seems very simple, the game is far from it.

The graphics may seem a bit retro but the meat of this game is the interaction you share as spy and sniper. Impressions:įirst and foremost, do NOT judge this game by the graphics. One wrong move can give the spy away while the sniper only gets one shot and needs to make it count. The one thing both players share is that there is little room for error. Naturally, as the sniper, you are trying to find and shoot the spy before they are able to do all of their missions. The Spy is placed in a room full of party goers and must accomplish a set number of tasks before time runs out but must do so by drawing as little attention to themselves as possible. It is currently a 2-player game where one player controls the Spy and the other plays as the Sniper. On the surface, SpyParty is rather simple. See the SpyParty Steam Discussions for an FAQ and links to more information.Those martinis better be shaken! The Game:


The current main gameplay mode is 1v1 Spy versus Sniper online multiplayer, although there is limited single-player Sniper play right now, and a single player Spy and Sniper practice mode for trying out missions and whatnot. Finally you can be like the suave and confident spies you find in films or books, risking it all by doing the final mission right in front of the sniper as the clock runs out! There are plenty of games that explore being a super-powered commando with an infinite supply of ammunition and no brains SpyParty is a new and quite different game about the more interesting, deeper, and more subtle aspects of being a spy. While most spy games have you machine-gunning stuff, blowing things up, and driving fast, SpyParty has you hide in plain sight, blend into a high-society cocktail party, deceive your opponent, and detect subtle behavioral tells to achieve your objectives and not get shot. SpyParty is a competitive espionage game about human behavior, performance, perception, and deception.
