Until much later in the game, ambushing and knocking out a guard typically involves using electrical, non-lethal means which, because you're not operating out of an agency, have limited uses. Aside from the expected mechanics of a tactical role-playing game-moving around and carrying objects are governed by quantifiable stats (movement points and inventory space) you must wisely invest in-you also have a security level that rises steadily with every turn, and each trip around the wheel, an obstacle appears to make your life a little harder, be it new armored guards, or a security protocol that makes hacking a greater danger.
The thing is, virtually everything is a resource. Sometimes it's to get new confidential info out of a corporate facility sometimes you have to hack into an executive's mind and fend off his private security while waiting to download the goods sometimes it's just to get your hands on some brand new spy toys. From your jet, you have to infiltrate various corporations around the globe. Sadly, the telling of the story is reduced to well-written but sparse lip service after the fully-animated intro, but it's less of a problem once you realize how carefully considered your actions in every subsequent mission have to be. “I don't even see the mainframes anymore. This is the point where the portable version of Incognita loses power. You start off with just the two agents, with a maximum of four active at a time (10 total are coming as downloadable content down the road), and your overall mission is to gather enough expendable resources to strike back at your enemies within 72 hours. The situation: It's the distant future, and after years of digging up serious dirt on the megacorporations of the new world, the titular spy agency is raided, forcing the chief, her two best agents, and Incognita-their all-encompassing JARVIS.-style AI-to go on the run. Here, the silent, invisible completion of the mission is all that matters, and the stakes are too high to waste time grandstanding. The game recalls XCOM in in the way a fallen spy succumbs to permanent death, and in its randomly generated levels few stealth games are this slick, and even fewer are unwilling to sacrifice any opportunity for tension or raised stakes to make its hero look cooler. There's infinite time to plot out my spies' every move and observe the guards' reactions before completing the mission, ordering the spies to make a beeline for an extraction point, and beaming them out. It's a tactical, turn-based stealth espionage game where I am the eyes of God, looking down on the isometric, randomly generated playing field.
