  If you want to see an innovative idea for a game, then please give Signal Ops a whirl. However, beyond exploring creative game ideas Signal Ops pretty much falls flat. Hmmmm... I'm thinking that if you're a developer you absolutely must check this game out... but if you're a player, w/o interest in dev, skip this one...

  Really really fun game. If youre into stealth and strategy, this game is for your. It has one problem though: IT'S SOOOOO HARD!!! I stopped playing it after 3-4 levels because i just got stuck. Since this game isn't very well known, there are not youtube tutorials to help. But the several hour i did get out of it were well worth the 15 dollars i spent

  I've been meaning to get back to this but haven't really had the time. Plus this game takes a lot of patience, forethought, and skill. Also, it has some technical problems, nothing major or unfixable. It could just be me but I play on a TV so I had to input a custom resolution and all that. Also, you have to do the opening of ports and stuffs for multiplayer. The main thing about this game is that it is meant to be multiplayer in my opinion. They realllly should have a pack deal or something. If you can, get this on sale, and a second copy for a close bud with similar interests. There really isnt many people who play this either which is sad because it's really an innovative game. If you played the original rainbow six games, even goldeneye, or any classic fps you will probably appreciate this. I'm proud to own it even though I haven't played it much. So despite my not playing it too much, its pretty damn innovative.

  Probably one of my favorite games, but it's not for everyone. It's in its own unique niche in terms of skill, so nothing you learned from other games carries over really. Infact this game reminded me what it was like when I first started playing video games, because it was so out there. It pretty much took me until 3/4ths into the game before I felt completely comfortable with the controls and gameplay, and the missions are very replayable both in design (large various paths) and with the fact that you can use different combination of agents. I feel though that anyone saying it's badly designed and clunky isn't really justified. This game relies a ton on strategy and positioning, so the most I would say is if you get caught completely out of position with your pants down it can [i]feel[/i] clunky because you have to on the spot deal with pressure which is difficult when you have 2-3 sometimes 4 units in first person perspective. So being caught off guard can be really punishing at first when you're adjusting to the micromanaging, although it is a strategic game so it's fair. Combat is kind of a non-option in this game unless your idea of combat is flanking enemies and not having an open firefight. A lot of the guns aren't really effective on more than one guard (minus sniper and shield), however it is extremely forgiving defensive wise as your agents have a lot of health and you are given ~10-11 lives per level. Dying can be a pain though as the new agent is parachuted in at a certain point with nothing but a melee weapon, so you need to retrieve your items or just leave them and steal a guards guns (as long as you didn't lose a valuable item like the radio) All in all, this game is 95% positioning and tactics 5% shooter, and it makes it really interesting and fun to play after you get use to having to micro 4 first person cameras.

  Signal Ops is a game by independent developers Space Bullet Dynamics. Set in a retro-futuristic 1940s, this bureaucratic society is governed by two feuding organisation, the military and the church. You play as an agent of the church, tasked with carrying out missions involving spying and espionage. However your character never actually enters combat but instead issues commands via video and radio links to the operatives in the field. The game is a first person shooter and you control 3 operatives, at the same time, via these links in single player or cooperatively. This concept is very original but is also the games greatest achievement and weakness. The controls can be frustrating and take time to master. They require lots of patience, organisation and multitasking to pull off, even minor mistakes can lead to panic and mission failure. The gameplay mechanics are also very retro and rather basic when compared to more mainstream tactical espionage games. However, once you are accustomed with the basics this charming game, with it's stylized oil painting graphics, simple plot, humorous narrative and nods to cult film classic "Brazil", combine to form a really interesting tactical espionage action sandbox where objectives can be tackled in any number of ways, alone or with friends. 7/10

  I like this game. I do. But oftentimes, I want to strangle it senseless. I finally had to give in and put the thing on easy. That removes the need fot Bolt to lug his godd*amn radio around, which gives the player a little more breathing room. For a stealth game, the options to scout around and plan ahead are paramount, and that's nigh impossible with the radio mechanic. I understand why it's there -- your player character is only remotely controlling this team, after all -- but it's also the game's biggest flaw. Thankfully I bought the game after easy mode was introduced, otherwise I might have thrown it down in frustration like many others have. The controls are... strange, but not as terrible as I've heard. Once you get used to them, they aren't quite second nature, but close. I wonder if that is something that's been tweaked since the beginning as well. I can't speak for how it feels with a controller, but aside from your team moving at a quick shamble of a walking pace, the keyboard and mouse feel pretty smooth. Not precise and refined, but smooth. My only other gripe is that, should you actually get into combat, you're probably going to lose. I don't know if the FPS portion is deliberately bad to discourage players from taking that route, or if it's just something that never really got finished, but if you find yourself in a shootout, you're probably better off reloading. I haven't gotten terribly far into the story, but what I have seen, I adore. The writing is sharp and witty, the artistic direction is beautiful, and I'm really fond of the painting-come-to-life graphics. While far from perfect, the heart that went into Signal Ops is readily apparent. More than anything, it's obviously and indie game, built on an indie budget, and it's up you if the flaws outweigh the gain. Personally, I think that a fantastic game is waiting for you.

  Signal ops is a really underrated game that need more attention. but i recommand playing on easy since in my opinion the radio mechanic is a pain to deal with, the question you may ask is: should i play this game? well if you like stealth and strategy: yes if you like beautiful and original artstyles: yes if you like unique ambiances: yes and if you like dark absurd and silly humor fuck yes, some of the jokes could be in a monthy pythons sketch

  Neat stealth puzzle game with 3 player co-op. It can be a little slow in single-player, because you have to control every member of your squad manually, but in multiplayer this problem doesn’t exist. I can’t think of a better co-op game for exactly 3 players. The writing and voice acting are great, so is the visual style. The levels are open-ended with enough room for multiple tactical approaches and a lot of secrets to find. The are optional side missions and multiple ways to complete objectives. You can choose to go competely non-lethal or just kill all the enemies (which is quite hard). The one thing I don’t like is that you have to play in a small square window. I would prefer an option to go full screen with small windows for other characters in the corner. The only reason I’ve played only 8 hours of this game is because I had a hard time convincing my friends to continue after a long break. Still, looking forward to complete it one day, maybe with a different group.

  "failed to connect to server" get this message every time I try to launch a game from the menu. problem seems common enough on the discussions - no clear fix so refunding. just consider this review a warning of potential issues.

  If you enjoy spliting your mind like you were forced to play meepo from dota 2, heavy cartoon artstyle and humor(and dark humor too), hardcore strategy gameplay with stealth in mind? Clearly, this game is for you.
