Have you ever tried or watched Katana Zero, Celeste or even Hotline Miami and loved it? What they’re doing is combining some of the enjoyable gameplay elements such as 2D action, platforming and storytelling with a beautiful art desing.

So Anomaly Agent tries to combine those experiences and offer us another 2D action adventure platforming game. Let’s talk about how Anomaly Agent is suitable for live streaming and whether this genre works or not.

Fighting with anomalies won’t be that easy

Anomaly Agent is a 2D action adventure platformer. In a Cyberpunk themed world, you will be fighting with some anomalies and keep going through an interesting story with a fluent but hard gameplay.

As I mentioned before, Anomaly Agent doesn’t offer us a new indie game experience. We’ve already seen lots of 2D action platformer games like this, but the way it presents its game elements is what makes Anomaly Agent worth to play.

Gameplay is simple to understand yet to master it. Anomaly Agent has a smooth and fast gameplay in which you have to watch your enemies’ movements and use your reflexes. Making combos, dodging the enemies and trying the levels again is fun and fun to watch. There is also an interesting concept that two enemies can combine and create a new enemy.

Difficulty in Anomaly Agent is one of the most important element in the game. While it’s not as hard as Hotline Miami, it does have challenging levels. That difficulty makes the game even more enjoyable as it makes the gamer much more focused to the game. Also, every audience loves to see their favorite live streamer gets a little bit sweaty don’t they? But there are diffuculty options, so if you’re not fan of hard games, you don’t have to get worried.

What makes Anomaly Agent fun to watch is its fluent gameplay and level design. Its level design can seem to be simple but with fluent platforming mechanics and sequances, both the gamer and the viewer can enjoy from it. Use portals, fight with your anomailes and keep going. It’ll be a fun adventure.

In conclusion, Anomaly Agent’s gameplay offers us a familiar experience but fun to play and watch. I’d definitely recommend you to try it and experience it with your audience. Fast combat and platforming sequences combined with an interesting theme and storyline should sound good.

Anomaly Agent: Fighting in a cyberpunk world

In the last couple of years, cyberpunk-themed indie games have become really popular and Anomaly Agent has a similar cyberpunk-themed world. Anomaly Agent’s art design is great and you can see that piece of work in everywhere such as the places, character designs or even a random object in the background.

This art design is supported by an amazing sound design and soundtrack. It feels amazing to settling on an adventure in Anomaly Agent’s cyberpunk world. It even feels like you’re in a Cowboy Bebop episode in some levels.

But art design is not the only good part of this cyberpunk-themed world. The story is also fun to follow and that makes Anomaly Agent even more suitable for live streaming as it should be fun to experience this story with your audience. Anomalies, spacetime control with dialogue options are a few of the essential elements for Anomaly Agent.

I’m sure that you’re aware of and already experienced most of the gameplay and story elements that Anomaly Agent has, but the way it presents those features is a good reason to take a look at the game.

Anomaly Agent offers us 4 to 6 hour of play time with its campaign. As it’s not a roguelike or such a game, there will be no reason to replay it again. They will add a roguelike mode soon but it’s not available yet. You can consider this adventure for a one time experience. It has a balanced playtime.

There’s only one reason to play Anomaly Agent again: if want to see the other ending. If you love the game, you can try to see the other ending with new game+ mode. But I’m not sure whether you and your audience would like to play the same adventure again as it’s an unchangeable singleplayer experience.

Performance on the other hand, I’ve tested Anomaly Agent’s PC version on STEAM and it works perfectly fine. I didn’t catch any bugs, crashes or FPS drops. You don’t have to worry about its performance while you’re playing.
