Agent 64: Spies Never Die

Agent 64: Spies Never Die is a retro-style first-person shooter, which is the debut project of the independent studio Replicant D6. The game was developed as a spiritual heir to the iconic GoldenEye 007 from the Nintendo 64 console.

Plot

The script was inspired by spy films and novels, especially the adventures of James Bond. We step into the shoes of John Walter, the legendary spy codenamed Agent 64. Once again, the task of saving the world from the villains and their schemes will rest on his shoulders.

Mechanics

Agent 64: Spies Never Die is an FPS game, so the gameplay consists mainly of eliminating numerous enemies in first-person perspective (FPP) gunfights. However, the combat mechanics greatly differ from typical PC games of this genre. Aiming is largely automated - just point the crosshair near the enemy and the game will place it on his silhouette.It recreates the style of gameplay that dominated console FPS games in the late 90s, while at the same time providing fresh experiences to the players.

Each mission in the campaign offers great freedom to explore the location and to complete various objectives, many of which are optional. In addition to eliminating enemies using a rich arsenal of firearms, we also have to hack terminals, steal secret plans, or free hostages.

Game modes

Agent 64: Spies Never Die offers a story campaign that can be played alone or in cooperation mode. There are also options to compete with other players. Interestingly, both co-op and PvP take place on a split screen, and up to four people can play at the same time.

Technical aspects

Agent 64: Spies Never Die combines angular, low quality characters and locations with modern visual effects, creating a kind of idealized vision of console FPS games from the late 1990s.
