One of, if not the best and most satisfying ability you can use, is scanning a group of enemies while in slow-motion before shooting each of them faster than Thornton would normally be able.ĭuring combat sections Alpha Protocol will frustrate players with its poor handling and controls. The abilities cost no points to use, but require a cool down period before they can be used again. Due to Thorton being trained as a CIA operative, he can take full advantage of several weapons and numerous martial art styles as well as, of course, spy gadgets. Players earn experience points which, once saved up, can be spent on a variety of things, such as weapon skills, hand-to-hand attacks, and health. The game is played from a third-person perspective, allowing players to effectively see Thorton’s surroundings. Players begin by selecting a class, from the typical Soldier type to the sneakier Field Agent. If Thorton decides not to destroy the missiles, he may lose reputation with his handlers, but gain the chance to buy some awesome new equipment. Other situations which allow you to make multiple decisions include betrayal which could result in mini boss battles. For example, during one of the missions, upon reaching a bunch of missiles, Thorton is faced with two choices–complete his objective by destroying the missiles, or claim to destroy them, but divert the shipment to an arms dealer. The choices you make early on in the game will ultimately affect the outcome of later events. In short–interesting stuff.įrom the start of the game, Alpha Protocol leans heavily towards mystery and suspense. Players’ primary objective, at least at the beginning of the game, is to find out which terrorist, if any, is responsible for missiles which brought down a commercial jet. Being hunted by the United States government, Thorton now works for a secret organization called Alpha Protocol. With a story bearing a resemblance to to the popular Jason Bourne novels, Alpha Protocol follows protagonist Michael Thorton, a secret agent who goes rogue after being betrayed by his government. Throughout the game’s compelling storyline, players can mold Thornton into the spy they want him to be, whether that means a courteous James Bond-style spy or a relentless Jack Bauer type. Unlike most role-playing games containing sci-fi elements, Alpha Protocol takes place in modern-day.
