    Introduction To Main Characters (Assault Spy / アサルトスパイ)

    [​IMG]
    Asaru Vito

    A young man who appears to be a salaryman. However, he is actually a member of an underground spy agency. He uses unique weapons disguised as a briefcase and an umbrella, and installs combat skills directly into his brain to fight. He was an elite in the industry, but thanks to his troublesome new partner, Kanoko, his performance has taken a dive.



    [​IMG]
    Kanoko Yotsuba
    A happy-go-lucky girl who works at the same spy agency as Asaru. She's always causing trouble wherever she goes. She's dragged Asaru's work performance down time and time again with her antics, and now they're both on the chopping block. However, unlike Asaru, she doesn't seem too concerned about it.



    [​IMG]
    Amelia Smith
    A female agent of the international intelligence organization, the CIA. Despite being talented in combat, she's terrible at espionage. She is constantly at full throttle, and tries to solve every problem by punching it. For that reason, people call her the "Assault Spy" behind her back. She has a day job as a waitress.



    [​IMG]
    Kazama
    A stereotypical narcissist, he loves talking about himself. His skills don't match his boasts, often causing him to look like a fool. That said, he takes hits surprisingly well and recovers from any setback. A ladies' man, he will hit on any woman that catches his eye. He always tries to enjoy life and makes the most of his weekends. Despite all his talking, he's careful not to mention spy secrets.



    [​IMG]
    Irene Yoneda
    The development manager at Negabot. When something catches her interest, she devotes all her attention to it. She looks for efficiency and rationality in everything, even if it goes against the public's morals. She calls Asaru and company "agents" and asks them to save her company from the terrorists. She often gives advice to Asaru and supports him with her gadgets.



    [​IMG]
    Chidori
    Mr. Showtime's secretary. Usually acts highbrow and tries to always keep her cool, but is bad at handling unexpected situations. She looks down on everyone she doesn't consider high class. She has devoted herself to Mr. Showtime's ideals and helps him with his terrorist takeover of Negabot.



    [​IMG]
    Mr. Showtime
    The main culprit behind the Negabot takeover. It's said he obtained the rights to the company by some strange sorcery. Since he never speaks, it's hard to grasp his personality. He seems to be gentlemanly and has a powerful aura, causing others to fear him or be struck by awe.

    First Look: Assault Spy | アサルトスパイ (by DropRate)


    "Assault Spy is a stylized arena fighter that I would loosely compare to say, Senran Kegura and the like. But this game is full of style. It feels like if Persona, Suda 51 and Spike Chunsoft had a baby. Easily a strong recommend even with it's few issues that exist in it's current build state. This game will only get better. Seriously amazed by how much I love this game."​

    Assault Spy - Review (by YouNa)
    "Assault Spy is a stylish, fast paced, pure-action game with a dash of comedy."

    Assault Spy is an action game developed by Wazen and published by NIS America. This game has received much attention since its Early Access. In particular, Assault Spy's developer Wazen has been constantly releasing news of updates. As a result, their efforts have received positive feedback from users. You can check their update news at the following link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/767930/allnews/

    If you are interested in Assault Spy, you may wonder how this game has improved and evolved since Early Access. Assault Spy was officially announced at NIS America's press event in February. At the time, the announcement that this talented indie developer Wazen was developing this game was enough to get a lot of attention. Three months later, Early Access began in May. And finally in October, Assault Spy was officially released.



    Its gameplay is similar to classic games you may have enjoyed. It may remind you of the Devil May Cry Series or Senran Kagura Series. This game is also very dynamic so players will not get bored. However, Assault Spy has been upgraded with distinctive art style and funny humor. Of course it is not perfect. It has been mentioned that this game is inconvenient to control with keyboard / mouse. Be sure to use a game controller to enjoy this game more. This developer has solved some issues after receiving feedback from users.

    In general, Japanese art-style games tend to concentrate a lot on the game characters. For this reason, users are likely to express concerns about the completeness of the game itself. However, Assault Spy seems to be well balanced. The characters in this game are attractive while the action is fast and easy to understand. Furthermore, the frantic story of Assault Spy makes this game more interesting. I am confident that the different aspects of characters and how they are entangled within the story would be one of the main features in Assault Spy.

    [​IMG]

    To summarize, Assault Spy is not perfect but has enough potential. The overall concept is great. Gameplay is full of fast paced action with great comedy. And the game illustration and voice acting are very impressive. Of course, some control issues and level design seem to need improvement. But given the developer's dedication to this game, Assault Spy will surely get better. So don't worry, dive in!
