Note written 2026-08-24; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A 2018 stylish action game with Devil May Cry-inspired combat mechanics and anime aesthetics from Wazen, published by NIS America.

Assault Spy shows modest but durable residual traction ($668/mo mid-estimate) on a $20 price point with 92% positive sentiment and strong mechanical reviews despite visual production constraints. The title is completely quiet post-launch (70+ months without developer communication), but its 57% still-playing rate and consistent review trickle suggest latent audience retention in a genre where polished combat is rare. For a publisher or revival partner, the opportunity lies in modest graphic refreshes or a sequel pitch leveraging the cult following among action fans rather than mainstream acquisition. Most realistic play: revival.

  • Risk: Studio status marked inactive; code maintenance, engine updates, and platform support unknown.
  • Risk: Niche action title with only 47k lifetime units; ceiling growth may be limited despite high sentiment.
  • Risk: Peak playtime is 4.35 hours median; short session length limits recurring engagement and monetization depth.
