You see, with each passing turn, a meter rise in the top right-hand corner. Pushing you to grab as much loot as possible whilst simultaneously pushing you to ‘hurry the hell up about it could you please?’ Even the relative calm of your first few turns in any level is ruined by the sense of the tension created by an ever-escalating alarm system. It’s not a slur on you, the player, if this is the case however, as the game is always pushing you. Trial and error become your bedfellows as you consistently cock up in these early times, experimenting with upgrades, risking a little too much for too little, and generally making bad decisions. Learning how the game works and what rules apply are definitely part and parcel of the experience. You will almost certainly fail at Invisible, Inc on the first few playthroughs.
As the time remaining begins to dwindle while you swan your way around the globe being all IMF, beefier security and veritable Fort Knoxes become the norm.
You’ll first be presented with fairly simple jobs, with security at a ‘civilian’ level, challenging enough, but allowing you to learn the ropes as you go. You initially get to pick two agents (from the starting two of Decker and Internationale if you’re just starting out and not playing a custom game) and then pick a location to infiltrate. That would, however, do a great disservice to Invisible, Inc’s unique qualities.
The simplest way would be ‘like XCOM, but with stealth instead of rockets and telekinesis’. The best, well the quickest, way to describe Invisible, Inc is as a turn-based stealth game with roguelike elements. The angular, sleek future-tech artstyle only adds to the secret agent sim atmosphere, but it’s the way it plays, more than anything, that makes Invisible Inc such a splendid game. Plot isn’t highly important here, but the backstory is fleshed out well enough that it does enrich your experience with Invisible, Inc, giving a bit of weight behind the ticking clock you must face. You’re an agency on the lamb, and you have to nick as much cash, info and gear from various sources around the world within a 72-hour time limit. The premise of Invisible, Inc is pretty straightforward. That sort of thing makes that series tick and it is, as it happens, a huge part of the appeal behind Klei’s turn-based espionage game Invisible, Inc. What does work is the espionage, the gadgets, the sneaking around, and the thrill of disaster always being mere seconds away. No, that movie got everything wrong about what makes the M:I series work. I love the Mission: Impossible film series, all except the godawful second one where John Woo sacrifices his career to Dougray-bloody-Scott and inadvertently made Limp Bizkit famous.
