    In its finest moments Stealth Inc is one the best games in the stealth genre. Unfortunately the level design is sometimes lacking and towards the end the game it becomes more about frustration than about entertainment. With all things considered it's worth a closer look if you are connoisseur of the sneaking genre.

    Delicious and interesting on the streets and warm enough at home, so it is Stealth Inc.

    Stealth Inc. can be horribly frustrating, because you can't know what'll happen in advance to you hitting that switch. A quick death is therefore always lurking around the corner. Ironically it is at its funniest when breaking the fourth wall and rubbing your mistakes in your face. Whoever won't blow up from dying time and time again, and has the patience to learn from their mistakes, could have a lot of fun with Stealth Inc. A Clone in the Dark.

    It does exactly what we expect of a ‘smaller’ game nowadays. It’s stylistically interesting, brings bite-sized gameplay in a steady pace, gives you an insane challenge and every now and then a quirky comment is made about the player. On paper it looks like a success story, but lack of character make sure that this game never becomes more than a series of faceless challenges. A shame, because with a little more soul this game could’ve been great.

"Stealth Inc: A Clone In the Dark" es un juego de plataformas 2D y puzzles en el cual el objetivo es vencer el sistema de seguridad para escapar de los peligros de las salas.
    En general el juego funciona impecable, los controles son responsables por lo que nunca sientes frustración al perder, excepto cuando debes interactuar con los robots sencibles al sonido. El contenido es aceptable, son varias horas de juegos, pero si quieres perfeccionarte el desafío es intenso.
    Un buen juego para Vita, suma a su favor que la compra incluye la versión para PlayStation 3 y Cross-Play entre ambos sistemas.    … Full Review »

I hated the fact that some levelsDespite the good reviews it is one of those frustration platformers. Not the worst but a pretty average one. I hated the fact that some levels were only unlocked until you received an s rank on the previous ones. I couldn’t be bothered s-ranking them. Just wanted to finish the game and forget it. For me the best were the boss levels. Overall a disappointment, unless you find frustration fun.… Full Review »

    You play a clone who is being tested by an unknown see-er to see how good your stealth skills are. That's really it as there's virtually no story here. This is a simple indie game, so it should come as no surprise.

    Gameplay:
    This is one of those addictive games that punishes you A LOT, but gives you that satisfying feeling of beating something hard. The controls are pretty basic as you can only jump, move left to right, crouch, hang on edges, push certain objects, activate switches, and hack terminals.
    The level design for the most part is well made. There are 8 sections here and each one adds something new to the game whether it be a new enemy type or mechanic. Because of how much I died, this took me a few hours to complete. Overall, the gameplay is frustrating but addictive, and if you can't take the heat, you can always skip a few of these missions. 8/10

    Graphics:
    The game doesn't take full advantage of the PS Vita, but it still looks good. I like how the game uses shadows, the lighting is solid, the minor gore is cool to see. and some of the enemies and bosses are well designed. For a 2D-indie game, the visuals are nice. 7/10

    Sound:
    I like the nice techno stealth score the game had. While none of the tunes match the scores from Mission Impossible or James Bond films, they're still nice to hear. 7/10

    Verdict:
    This is a fun stealth game that rewards patience, timing, personal reflexes, and skill. This game is definitely worth buying for its cheap price.
