Beat the main campaign in a single sitting so I have a lot to say. Assault Spy is one of the only indie character action games I've played besides Ultrakill, and I think this genre has a lot of potential for independent developers to mess around with. I'd heard good things about it and upon playing, I can see why. This game's combat is electrifying. You'd think a character action game without the lock on games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta have would be weird and clunky, but Assault Spy makes it work because of how much fun it all feels. Combos feel genuinely effortless and there's no other way to describe it. Pretty much every element of the combat for both characters is essential to creating stylish gameplay and I wouldn't have it any other way. Difficulty-wise, this is closer to something like DMC: Devil May Cry. It's easy to get the hang of how things work and look cool while doing it, so for the most part it's not too difficult. I rarely ever struggled for the first half of the game. I didn't die once until Officer Club and then I only ever died again at the very end. The enemies aren't very difficult for the most part besides the camera headed men in black who look like Skibidi Toilet characters. They're probably the hardest enemies overall, even on their own, and I actually died to them once. Enemies are generally more of a threat in groups, otherwise, akin to DMC 3, because on their own they are mostly combo fodder that catch you off guard if you aren't paying attention to them amongst the other enemies. Bosses are generally fun, all the Officers are good and I liked fighting them, but I didn't really like the final boss much. In general, the fun of this game is well deserved, even if from playing on Normal I wasn't challenged too much. I only really had one problem with this game, that being the writing. The story is mostly just there as an excuse for the gameplay, but the writing and voice acting around it genuinely made me commit to skipping 75% of the cutscenes, the 25% being the cutscenes for the first 3 stages. The dialogue exchanges in this game are genuinely draining. It's the most generic anime banter that basically has Kanoko asking about something in a stupid way or saying something absurd, Asaru responding by going "sToP bEiNg AnNoYiNg!11!11" and repeat for about 15 more interactions, that or it's Asaru thirsting over the Professor and Kanako making fun of him for it, in which he responds with generic "oH i'M nOt AtTrAcTeD tO hEr!1!11!1!1". I genuinely barely enjoyed any of the characters here except for Amelia, who's perky personality kind of reminded me of Viola and I liked that, but otherwise, they're just not interesting. Kanoko is irritating, Asaru is a generic "Calls out the absurdity of stupid things happening" anime protagonist who you've seen plenty of times before in anime like Dragon Maid, the Professor is hot but not much else and Mr Showtime may as well not even be a character because he barely appears and mostly just laughs at you in the final boss fight. As amazing as this game is, the dialogue really did get on my nerves. This also wasn't helped by the voice acting. There's no English dub, so you're stuck having to listen to Kanoko's annoying high pitched voice that grates on my fucking ears to no end. After the third stage I legitimately turned off the voices for the rest of the game because I was genuinely losing my goddamn mind. At the very least, the soundtrack was really good. Assault Spy is, otherwise, a really damn fun and great time. If you liked Devil May Cry, you'll certainly love this.

While it contains a bit of jank that comes with solo developed projects, this is one of the best character action games I've ever played.

If you love hack and slash character action (DMC or Bayonetta) then you owe it to yourself to play this. I never make reviews for games, but I felt like this one deserves it. PROS: [*]Menus are simple and easy to navigate, so getting back into the action is awesome. [*]Being able to go into a Training at any time just by standing still then pressing the 'Select' button [*]Attack Cancelling. Feel amazing to just cancel pretty much anything into anything. [*]Constant action; I never had a moment of confusion jumping back into the story mode after a long break, because of it's linearity. [*]On HARD WORK difficulty the bosses become a serious challenge because Normal felt so easy, a very good challenge for sure. [*]The music is high energy, love it. CONS: [*]Controls are a bit hard to get used to, with Dashing being on the X button and primary attacking being Y, as well as later in the game it uses the Right Bumper, and I changed it to the Left Bumper but it stayed as 'RB'. [*]The story modes is a bit short, even with the two characters you'd play through the same levels. [*]Sometimes it feels empty or lifeless, almost like it's made from a template. [*]Animations can be very stiff and or clunky. [*]Dialogue voices are only in Japanese. (While not a big complaint, I like to listen than read) If you're on Steam Deck, run it on Proton Experimental (so it doesn't crash in the shop menu)

Just like what the other reviews say, if you are a DMC/Character Action fan, you will LOVE this game. The game is not a looker, but the gameplay is amazing and it animates surprisingly well. The combat feels snappy and responsive, but there is also real juicy hit stop/impact frames on some of the bigger moves. If you've played DMC before, there will be a lot of moves that will feel familiar. Overall, huge recommend for anyone who likes DMC or Character Action games in general.

If Devil May Cry and Bayonetta are Coke and Pepsi, Assault Spy is like a can of the store brand cola. Cheap, small and good enough for you to not mind the quality. The story starts a bit bland, but the midpoint is where the game gets interesting. The twist was actually pretty good. Characters are fun, even though they are mostly common anime tropes. The art is pretty good and character design is also good, although Asaru reminds me of the Persona 3 protag a bit too much. Models are a bit simple, could use more detail, but its not something you will notice when the action starts. The walking animations are a bit silly though. The game dificulty is average and its a bit short overall. I didn't get any progression stoppers aside one optional fight with Asaru that I kept retrying because if you get down to 1 health, it automatically continues the level and creates a checkpoint, forcing you to replay the level from start to try again. Gameplay is pretty flashy, smooth and fun. I have some issues with the default control scheme that makes dash the X/Square button and punching the Y/Triangle button, but that can be easily changed. You have two characters, Asaru and Amelia, her being unlocked midway through Asaru's chapter. Asaru is a flashy character based on dodging, quick attacks and timed combos, where getting the right timing gives him attack boosts and different moves. Amelia is a strong character based on unrelenting combos and big damage. She is actually far easier to play as due the block move being incredibly overpowered. The same optional fight with Asaru that made me retry a dozen times, I got it on my first try with Amelia. No massive glitches. The most I were graphical ones like giant HUD elements, a duplicate Amelia if you taunt before the boss dies and a weird slowdown that happened after I killed an enemy and lasted for longer than it should. There isn't much to talk about, but clearly a hidden gem on Steam. If you want a great hack-and-slash/spectacle fighter, this is a solid one.
