Spy Drops Looks Like a Long Lost PS1 Game, But It’s Skipping PS5 for Now

by

If you told us Spy Drops was a long-lost PS1 game, we’d probably believe you.

The developer, Rainy Night Creations, appears to have thoroughly examined Hideo Kojima’s timeless masterpiece Metal Gear Solid. They seem to have skillfully adapted its essence for their upcoming indie title in the stealth-action genre.

Regrettably, it appears that the game won’t be available on PlayStation 5 at its initial release, as it has only been confirmed so far for PC and Nintendo Switch platforms.

It’s quite ironic that the game’s promotional description boasts its “low polygon, PS1-era” graphics.

The game’s advertisement claims it has graphics similar to those seen on the PlayStation 1, which is somewhat ironic given…

Or: The game’s blurb brags about having graphics reminiscent of the PlayStation 1. This is a bit ironic because…

Here’s the story overview:

An environmental extremist group is planning to cause global chaos by destroying all digital data, making us revert to prehistoric times. As part of the anti-terrorism unit, Spy Drops team, you’re assigned to stop them. However, as you delve deeper into the mission, you start doubting the objectives and discover a hidden agenda.

A notable aspect of this game is its dynamic levels, which are randomly created. This means that each player’s experience is unique, offering a potential advantage for repeat play. However, this random generation might diminish the carefully crafted feel found in other renowned spy-themed games.

Alongside the main campaign, you’ll discover a competitive multiplayer mode called “spy vs spy”, reminiscent of old-school sneaky gameplay where players take turns spying on each other. This could bring back fond memories if you enjoy a bit of vintage peek-a-boo action.

Truthfully, we’re somewhat disappointed that it won’t release on PS5, but given the constraints of independent developers and their limited resources, it’s possible the team had to prioritize other aspects.

Let’s check if they plan to integrate this feature into the PlayStation platform in the future, as it seems like a fitting addition given the sources of inspiration behind it.
