Great Game... but some technical issues.
Sat Dec 26 2020 rugby9470I absolutely love the game and played it all of the time on my iPhone 7 but I just upgraded to the iPhone 12 Mini and there is a really noticeable glitch. I did not have this problem with my previous phone so it must only be for this one. Before I get to that I think the game is supper cool and I play this game all of the time. This game is definitely in my top 3 for Apple Arcade games. It has a super fun story mode and just over all story trying to beat some different bad guy teams. Now it is time to move on the the glitch. The only glitch I have noticed is the black at the top and bottom of the screens during cut scenes does not fill the whole screen. You can see parts around those black boxes. It is not something that interferes with gameplay but is still very noticeable. This game is great and this is why I gave it the 4/5 stars I did.
A lot of fun, but it could use some tweaks
Mon Dec 02 2019 TheCøreThis game is a lot of fun, and I love the graphical style and music. However, being limited to one level a day is a major ding. We get one tutorial and then we get thrown into the deep end? A few more warmup missions would be nice, and/or at least one or two other missions each day if you don't like or are tired of the main one. (I've seen the developer responses about the game being designed to play briefly and then come back to later, but a quick look at the reviews seems to indicate a lot of us don't agree with that philosophy.) An option to skip intros/cutscenes would be *very* welcome, especially if we're going to have to repeat the one mission per day we're allowed. Health pickups would be cool, if they aren't already in there so mewhere. One thing I'm not sure of: If you pass an enemy vehicle, can it hurt you anymore? If so, some sort of rear defense/weaponry (mines, oil slicks, etc.) would be cool, since you can't really get back behind them. Lastly, I'm hoping in the future there will be car upgrades available, or at least different styles. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes!
New Transformation and CLAW Villains!!!!
Sat Jul 01 2023 star queen 38495632Hello. I COMPLETELY LOVE THIS GAME!!! IT IS THE BEST! I like how I feel like James Bond. But what I’d really love is a new villain and transformation. Like say in another very black cited prison besides Tartarus there was an even worse villain. And because of this HQ, Agent Black, Torpere make a new transformation for the Scepter so that he or she is defeated and brought to justice. Also in the game I never saw Eris the main antagonist get arrested at the end of the game. Why? Why wasn’t she? And the new transformation is mech suit that climb mountains but not animal like. I mean a human like suit and during it maybe on of the main characters gets hurt bad or something terrible to get people to play it more. But still it is one of the most awesome games I’ve ever played in my life. So thank you very much.😀😀😀
Fun stylish game sunk by poor control surfaces
Wed May 26 2021 Listener #4315Enjoyed the spy setting and story development, but was surprised at the poor implementation of the left-right vehicle control.
Many games that implement on-screen surface controls do a positional reset when the player’s finger is lifted from the screen. Of course, the reason for this is because a player focusing on the game often allows their finger to “Drift” off the center of the screen controls.
The difference between positional calibration and fixed is simple. In the former, moving right is caused by the player sliding their finger right from where they PLACED it. The latter is the character sliding a fixed-position bar rightward on the screen. Research has shown that positional calibration and reset is superior to fixed presentation.
A good example in this game is if a player’s slight movement over time has caused them to move slightly from the horizontal control line on the screen. When they do have to turn quickly, the control feels unresponsive because they aren’t centered. Even worse, if this lack of response is met with even more drastic input, they may even move off the control slider entirely!
This isn’t natural movement in perception or control. And it makes what should be simple challenges such as target practice nearly impossible without constant glances at the control side of the screen.
Sad to see such a good game done in by terrible controls.
Fun Spy Style!
Fri Jan 08 2021 TadhgMBradyI love the art style and tone of this game. The location the levels take place in is right up my alley since I love the Mediterranean! I am not a driving game fan, but this game doesn’t feel like one. The sceptre has a lot of personality, acrobatic/handling ability, and 007-like flair. My only critique at the moment is towards the narrative presentation. I want to be able to understand what is going on story-wise in each level, but since there are no voice actors I have to read the captions when characters are taking which is hard to do because the game doesn’t pause when they talk and I miss information very often. I would love if there was some voice actors added or at least more mid-game cutscenes where I can read dialogue without being distracted from playing when I need to focus on my surroundings. One of my fav Apple Arcade games I have played!
Good, but could be better
Sat Dec 21 2019 direchuckoAight so if your reading this welcome to my ted talk. Today, I will be reviewing Agent overdrive. If you are just getting into Apple Arcade it’s perfect to start with. The controls and rules are simple, but the game still leaves enough to be discovered for replay-ability. I only have a few points on which I feel the game could be improved. I feel the levels are a bit repetitive, and we could use a couple more different types of enemies. Also, adding the option to upgrade you car would be awesome, and give something for the player to work toward. Customizations would be fun too, or different cars with different pros and cons. Plus, since the car can turn into a boat, why not make it turn into a jet? Air levels would spice up the game, as I feel this game has a great foundation but has a lot of improvements to do.
Greatest game ever played
Mon Feb 13 2023 carsaredabestThis is one of the greatest games I ever played! The action is so exciting,cool, and amazing! The missions are also very fun and one of my favorite parts is the transformation system and me driving Squib’s truck. The art and cars are also very amazing which made me give it 5 stars. I would really recommend this game to a lot of people. I really see no problem with the game, but 1 thing I don’t like is like when you have to gather more intel for the final mission for the chapters. It’s like hard sometimes. But overall this is one of the best games I ever played! I also saw a lot of effort into this game and I think you guys should have more players and the final mission is just so epic!
Fun game, with minor flaws
Sat Nov 23 2019 ImjusttrynauseanappGreat game! First game that intrigued me on Apple Arcade! I thinks it’s different (in a good way) that every 24 hours you release a new mission, makes you excited for the next one. However, I think it would be cool for us to be able to play all the past missions, obviously not for ranking but just like in arcade mode or something. I think it would be cool to have more than qty of 3 for the ammo as well. I’m also not sure if it’s just my phone but there’s times I play & I feel like the controls, specifically the steering doesn’t work very well sometimes & slows me down. There’s also been a few times the car will turn completely sideways & will be stuck that way. Apart from the very minor flaws, I thinks it’s an awesome game & has potential to be even better over time!
My go to game on arcade
Thu Sep 10 2020 BjfontenotFirst off, great job. I love everything about the game. I’ve finished the first chapter of story mode and am pretty consistent at getting in the top 10 of the global leader board. I play almost everyday when I get a free 30 minutes. It’s just right when it comes to time commitment. Some suggestions are explaining exactly how scoring is determined, as it seems somewhat random at times. Also, after playing daily mode I like to play the challenges and think it would be cool to include leaderboards in these as well. Lastly, including some type of achievement based upgrades of weapons, car, enemies would be a welcomed addition. Overall, 👍👍 up
Fun but has a peak
Sun Jun 28 2020 Kikirich07138090Not sure if Chapter 2 just hasn’t been built yet (odd since chapter 3 is also visible) or if you have to meet every goal under each mission to unlock it, either way not being able to move on slows the game down. It’s even more of a bummer if you have to reach every goal in order to move on to the next Chapter; especially since the tutorial is extremely limited (I guess the assist controls are supposed to make up for it). But it’s hard to beat every goal, for example it seems impossible to “stop Torpere on the dock” or drift for 5k meters on mission 3 of chapter 1. There’s also no guidance or tips to get past this. So it’s been fun up until this point, but I’m over it now. I’ll probably redownload this game once it’s more fully fleshed out.
