Haggard Games informed us today about the launch of a Kickstarter campaign on September 9th for the third part of its legendary game series “Death to Spies”. The team aims to raise $85000 by October 24, 2014 with a plan to release the game a year later, in October 2015.
Death to Spies 3 is a stealth action game, which combines the essence of game classics such as Hitman, Commandos and Splinter Cell titles. It’s the third part in the series, with all the action occurring during such significant periods in human history as World War II and the Cold War.
“Taking place in five countries (Europe and the United States), the main storyline is interspersed into the dramatic story of the John F. Kennedy assassination and the conspiracy theory behind it. You play a KGB agent, who uses various sneak and spy skills to complete his mission objectives. Furthermore, the team mode will allow a player to involve two more game characters with unique sets of skills and tools, switching between them any time during the gameplay.”
Here are the game’s key features:
-Social stealth based gameplay.
-Non linear open levels with multiple ways to complete objectives.
-Single player with team mode – Ability to play and control for up to three characters. Each one has a unique set of skills and tools.
-Historical setting – Story based on historical events in a World War 2 and Cold War period.
-Wide range of weapons,tools and sabotage ways.
There is also a demo for you try that can be downloaded from here.
Enjoy!

The demo they released awhile back was garbage.
Better than Hitman Absolution.
nooooope!
Played only the first one, and I must say this is a very good game. I think it’s something between classic Hitman (1-4) and Hidden & Dangerous (if someone still remembers this game). Pretty much everything was taken from Hitman, and placed in a large open levels with various vehicles.
The first and second games were good. The third game (based on the demo) is consolized trash with horrible AI. Hopefully if they get funded they take into account the criticism from the demo.
Consolized? Is the game even coming out for consoles?
Unlike the first two games, they wanted to make the third game for consoles too, but the publisher suspended their funding for some reason 4 years ago.
Basically the demo I played just right now shows everything. I don’t mind about covers and budget animation, but instinct, blurry textures, and much more smaller levels certainly aren’t good. If it isn’t enough, gamepad is supported.
I think the first game was fine. They just need to make it better. Taking some crappy console ideas from other games, like failed Hitman Absolution, certainly won’t help the series.
