This retro indie game rekindles the spirit of a James Bond classic. As impressive as the 007 First Light opening credits are, some fans wonder if the game can top their recollections of Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. The ambitious first-person shooter (FPS) based on the 1995 movie is often held up as the gold standard for Bond games despite its awkward controls.
SOE 64, a retro FPS set during World War II and designed 'in the spirit of 90s console classics,' aims to recapture that immersive atmosphere. The player must use stealth to operate behind enemy lines and dismantle the German war effort one mission at a time.
The developer, Hatchett Studio, promises a series of unique locations—from alpine railways to dinner parties—each with its own challenges, objectives, and enemies. The game will also require collaboration with the resistance and unexpected allies, and players will have a wide range of WW2 weaponry to use.
Based on the demo, many say it really captures the feel of Goldeneye, perhaps blended with a little Medal of Honor? You can wishlist the game on Steam.
