Trying something different, this Java mobile game is a turn-based strategy loosely retelling the stories of a few classic Bond films. Not doing a generic action game is an interesting idea, and there seems to be some good aspects of Top Agent.
The graphics are very nice, with lovely pixel backgrounds and good animation. As you progress, you unlock more items and weapons to customise your character, as well as being able to upgrade your stats as you level up.
Each match is a 1 on 1 battle, you choose your items and then select your five actions for your match, then you get to watch them unfold in the order you took place. This means you can’t react to what the enemy is doing, and even though the game tells you to look for patterns in enemy actions, there is none.
Which is where the game falls apart: there’s no strategy. Winning or losing is just luck. Enemies can be focused on guns one time, then in the rematch, be all about punching and parrying. It’s a shame as there are some nice ideas, but the game is just fundamentally broken from a gameplay perspectice.
The Java version got a couple more films via DLC (including Die Another Day), and the game was later ported to iOS with redrawn graphics, but with the exact same issues.
