Death to Spies is a World War II stealth action game told from the Soviet side. You play Semion Strogov, an officer of SMERSH, the counterintelligence service whose name gave the game its title. His missions take him behind enemy lines to steal documents, eliminate targets and uncover agents working against the Red Army.
It is played from a third-person view, and stealth is usually the best approach. You can take uniforms from enemies to move around more freely, hide bodies and choose between quiet and loud methods. It is a single-player game with a deliberate pace, suited to fans of classic stealth games who like planning their route through each level.
