Invisible, Inc. Console Edition

The steep challenge of Invisible, Inc. Console Edition is certainly not for everyone. However, for those up for it, Klei Entertainment's latest effort is a thrilling and excellently crafted adventure set in the world of futuristic espionage.

In a genre that's traditionally concerned more with open combat, Invisible, Inc.'s stealth focus is a revelation.

The congregation of turn-based strategy, stealth and roguelike seems like an odd grouping, but my word, it works so very, very well.

Extremly difficult, well thought through and thrilling at every move. A real gem for hardcore tacticians.

If you’re in the mood for something that will really test your strategy-building chops, Invisible, Inc. Console Edition should be somewhere near the top of your wish list. It’s a tantalizing combination of turn-based tactics and stealth, wrapped up in the shell of an unforgiving roguelike where every single decision matters.

The title has a very solid presentation and promises longevity due to randomization, so strategy fans will undoubtedly enjoy Invisible Inc.

Invisible Inc. is a great turn-based tactical game set in a world dominated for spies.

I don’t care much about Invisible Inc.'s throwaway story and its last-minute grasps at meaningful themes, or about my agents’ personal backgrounds. Like the game, my efforts are focused on getting the job done, emotionally disengaged but intellectually centered. I bask in the stylish cutscenes and the sharp voiceover, but my attachment is not to the agency or its people but to the sheer pleasure of a successful heist.

It would have been nice to have had a multiplayer but I won’t hold that against the game. Ultimately, Invisible, Inc. Console Edition is as challenging as you want it to be.

The best turn-based tactics game since XCOM 2 and a fantastic spy adventure that has an appeal that goes well beyond just strategy fans.

A nice port of one of most underrated games released on PC during 2015. You may need some patience to get into this game, but once you do it, you'll be sucked in this mix of genres.

Although it seems like I’ve got more complaints than praise for Invisible, Inc., I ended up enjoying my time with it a great deal. The character designs and futuristic premise are great, and pulling off a win after agonizing over every single action in every single turn feels amazing. It’s a stiff challenge with much patience required on the player’s part, but Invisible, Inc. delivers a deliciously strategic dish—although one that’s probably not to everyone’s taste.
