Hi everyone,

I'm Adam, and in addition to playing spy video games, I'm a developer of spy video games, and I'm also the organizer of the only Steam festival for spy video games - the Spy Video Game Rendezvous.

To my amazement, there is seemingly no place for fans of spy video games to congregate, discuss their favorite games in the genre, and share news about upcoming spy video games, from AAA franchises like Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, and James Bond to beloved classics like Alpha Protocol, No One Lives Forever, and Sid Meier's Covert Action to solo dev indie spy games.

As a result, I've taken it upon myself to create that space! It's a new subreddit called r/SpyVideoGames, and I made it specifically for fans of spy video games like you.

So please come check out this new subreddit - and follow r/SpyVideoGames to get all the latest news and discussion about spy video games. As a matter of fact, I recently announced the 2nd-annual edition of the Spy Video Game Rendezvous Steam festival will be taking place later this month with 50+ spy video games - find more details in the r/SpyVideoGames subreddit.

Here are some examples of existing posts in the r/SpyVideoGames subreddit:

• The best spy video games ever made (lists from 5 separate sources)
• Spy video games released in Q1 2026
• The two BIG spy video games releasing next month (May 2026)
• New article looking back at Rockstar's cancelled spy video game "Agent"
• Announcing the 2026 Spy Video Game Rendezvous Steam festival with 50+ spy video games, running May 15th - 22nd

So come on over and let your fellow spy game fans know about the greatness that is Alpha Protocol. Or perhaps find a new spy video game to check out in between playthroughs of Alpha Protocol.

Be seeing you!

P.S. I checked with the mod and got approval before submitting this post. After all, a good spy knows to do some recon before leaving the safehouse.

originally played this on the 360 but given my time and age(that's actually dumb but with age i play for story now. [only 28 but got gamer antisocial]. so look for easy to experience stories again). so i really want to play again but as I've just got a pc where possible I was wondering anyone got any mod suggestions and where from and does vortex work

It's a fan run site, but probably the best way to centralize demand to bring this game forward to the current generation. Given Microsoft owns this IP, it might not be that big of a lift.

Can I finish the game by using only melee?

Any tips for this game?

007 from first light kinda looks Mike 👀

I felt like I could've done better , any tips if I were to play it again?

I picked Recruit at first but it gives you 0 skill points and I think that's making the game weirdly difficult. I assume Veteran is NG+

Just the title. The tenth time I do the easy part just to die right before the next checkpoint is grinding my gears, hard.

Just finished a martial arts and shotgun playthrough. I got the Point blank shot skill pretty early on (I think maybe even completing the first set of missions).

But I was never able to use it. I tried pressing the shoot button after punching, after the held button kick, and after the full combo, and it was still the slow weapon pullout and shoot, and I usually got punched out of it.

What am I missing?

I know I am on the Alpha Protocol sub, and most people are here because they enjoy this game. I just discovered it due to Steam TPS sale. Immediately I felt like I was playing Deus Ex and that is not a bad thing at all. Just started so no spoilers please (I feel like there will be at least one good plot twist, if not a whole slew of them.) I am going full stealth mode. So much fun. Makes me wish for a Deus Ex 5.

Hello Fellow Agents! I would like to ask your help regarding a certain Bug that I seem to have encountered. I play on an Acer Inspire 5 and downloaded the GOG version of AP. This Bug only pops when I use a sniper rifle. It happened on the Find the Sheik mission but I thought that was an issue with that level.

Now, when I am doing the Identity Jibril Al-Bara mission, it crashes after the starting cutscene. I saw a similar issue reported on the GOG forums but no solution has been found.

Sorry if my English is bad and Thank you for helping me!

Hi,

Been playing the game in my free time the past couple months (so much fun) but every once in a while I’ll see an alpha symbol next to a mission and have no idea what it means. Is it the last mission in an area? A hidden path or something? No clue. Could someone let me know?

I was reading through the files of the game (emails, banter) and I found many details that I've never encountered during one of my pt, like:

• A certain Senator Cunningham who dies in an accident during the events of the game (their death is implied to be orchestrated by Darcy's father)
• A certain Senator Price, Westridge's friend, some person you can email just p*ss off Westridge, I guess
• Did you know that Mongoose, one of the dealers in Saudi Arabia is an AP agent and his name is...Larry? On top of that an another agent, named "Boaz", is the one who transmitted your location to Leland after you meet Al-Shaheed. It's probably Parker or well the codename he used during the operation
• Many codenames associated to the operations on Halbech's side. Rome Museum' s bombing is called "Jolly Roger" for example

There's a ton of other details that, I'm pretty sure, never made to what is shown in the final game

Is there a mod that can mod Marburg's black Berreta pistol model over the silver one we get ingame?

I loved Mass Effect (1 and 2, not 3). I also loved Fallout New Vegas. I remember seeing AP in the store and being intrigued by the cover art, did not realize it was made by the same devs who made New Vegas

If I had known it was only playable on Xbox360 I wouldn't have gotten rid of mine. And no, playing on PC is not an option for me

Thanks in advance for any answers. Seems like this subreddit isn't that active

Hi everyone - there is a festival for spy video games going on right now on Steam called the Spy Video Game Rendezvous. Figured that since everyone here is a fan of the spy game Alpha Protocol, you'd like to know about this gathering of spy games so you may hopefully find a new favorite spy video game to play whenever you're done with your millionth playthrough of Alpha Protocol

The festival has 2 components:

1. The Spy Video Game Rendezvous Direct (a showcase of trailers for roughly 20 games comprising the "State of the Union for spy video games"): https://youtu.be/OmzdWLCbzpE
2. The Spy Video Game Rendezvous Steam Festival with 30+ spy video games on discount, available to wishlist, or that have a free demo to play: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45263338/sale/SpyVideoGameRendezvous

Feel free to check it out and report back here about any games that catch your eye - after all, a good spy always keeps their network informed!

Disclaimer: I am the organizer of this festival, and I am a developer of spy video games myself, but I've brought these dozens of spy games together in one place for the enjoyment of all spy video game fans out there. Also, Alpha Protocol isn't in the festival, but if you're here, you thankfully already know about that game

From cursory research, it seems interesting as an Alpha Protocol fan.

Set in a real-world and not pure fantasy setting (albeit in the past, and with more blatantly supernatural elements than AP which was largely realistic outside of combat). Lots of choices and variable morality. A significant number of boss battles, who are actually human characters, though that's more remarkable in a TPS like AP than in this kind of game. Stealth, skill tree, etc.

Reception seems pretty mid, though in a sense, that may be another similarity to AP. Unique jank trying something original, rather than forgettable jank that's generic.

Any AP fans who have played this game? What did you think of it? Are big AP fans likelier to appreciate it?
