How it feels

You carefully plan each move on a 2D grid, tense and methodical, as one misstep lets malicious software win.

What players say

Players who remember the 2002 Lego flash game Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident praise this as a faithful remake that adds new units and levels. The original campaign is present but without its story. Some wish the level editor UI worked better and that the music matched the trailer.
