Mini review Mission Zero

Since it's still in testing I'll give it some stack and I have a soft spot for good character designs so that adds some points. Okay I'll say this game is on a league of its own and a rare gem of a game that with some polish will shine ✨️ like the sun. It's a fusion of Dead by Daylight and the Hitman series with its stealth game play and movement. Unlike Dead by Daylight you have two attackers that must stay on a point to collect data or capture the point to say it simply and get codes to win the game. For the defenders you must find the attackers which blend in and hit them more than once to take them out completely.

Now for the problem with the attackers...it may be two attackers against 4 defenders but they have the advantage and can win easily if they attack two objectives or personals that are far from each other to divide the defenders. If the defenders pick only enforcers or no scouting units like drone master the attackers will be able to sneak safer knowing they won't get caught by drones or cams.

The good points are the map design and lovely characters to pick from. The story is also good but could use a little more depth to improve it. The game has so much heart and passion that it definitely shows with the menu layout and cool music. Character design is top notch that you'll love at least one of them and main them.

The bad points while few are the janky(?) controls that sometimes don't respond as you want them to and a couple of small things. The map and in game functions should be more obvious and they should add more detail to display it better. A beginner will easily get lost in the map and walk around mindless looking for a way to go to the helipad to stop a hack or fleeing attacker. While not a bad point I'd recommend the game letting you switch between dubs because I'd love to hear the Japanese and Korean voice actors if possible but just something small on my mind.

Now on future improvements that could be added would be more maps and character balancing. Be very careful adding characters because eventually they'll make a hybrid of a enforcer/scooter that could be a overpowering unit. Imagine drone master with attacking drones and ranged attacks that could easily pressure a attacker to defeat. Same for a defender that could generate items like grenades to spam and flee or pressure attackers.

Overall this game is really good but not perfect but it could be. Maybe adding control support could fix the janky controls for some but they should focus on the controls to improve on. With Dead by Daylight being it's only competition in my opinion it could grow into its own genre and lead the way. So a lovely game that if the controls get better, more maps get added, careful character balancing, and maybe letting you pick the voice audio to select your preferred dub will make this game to a 5 Star 🌟 game in no time!

I played in the closed testing as well, got near max rank but didn't want to invest too much time in case they don't let us keep our stuff on release. Only thing I would want to add for someone considering playing the game is that it's not quite as in the favor of one side as the review gives an impression of. There's one character that's ridiculously powerful for the Sirius side, and two that are ridiculously powerful for the Mobius side (although maybe not as much so as the Sirius one). So faction balance (which is notoriously hard to fix in asyms) isn't really the issue, character balance (which can be fixed much easier) is. Either way, I'm looking forward to the game's full launch!

It's Interesting seeing it from another players view so that's good to know. I mention character balancing but usually devs don't hit the right targets or hit them too hard which makes the character too weak. I would mostly use Drone master because when a Gabriel is on the team they usually punish anyone spotted and chain hook them if they run. I would love to use Aya but I feel like most players don't like scout characters so I tend to scout. In casual matches Sirius players poke points and try to pull Mobius away from their real target or play slowly. I kinda felt like Sirius controlled the flow of the match unless they made mistakes but it just my view on it yours is interesting too!
