Review
Undercover Agent contains pretty much everything you’d expect from the genre. It does not do anything outside the box, and is as standard as can be.
As far as plot and writing goes, you’re an agent for a government agency tasked with taking down a mysterious weapon. With the usual infiltration and espionage missions, there is little originality here. The spy genre isn’t really my thing, and with little here I haven’t seen before, it was hard to stay engaged. The writing is ok and pretty easy to follow, which is a plus, but a small one.
The stats (I believe) use fairmath, so reaching the higher levels can be tricky. I dumped everything into combat and IT, and ran into a few areas where I didn’t have the right skills to beat the available checks.
Like many other CoG (and some HC) games I’ve played, the romance is pretty throwaway here too. That said, I did like this one better than a lot of the others. There’s some flirting and affection, and the ROs role in the plot makes them better suited (in my opinion) to be an interesting RO.
Ultimately, this spy game doesn’t do anything wrong, but it doesn’t do anything right either. It’s up to you to decide if that’s your thing.
