Adams Drive 32

Adams Drive 32 is a charming low poly FPS in which you play the bad guy for a change. Your job is to stealthily infiltrate the premises of a large mansion and rob it without getting caught.

Adams Drive 32 doesn’t dazzle and drop jaws to the floor with its graphics. It’s built using a minimalistic approach that’s just enough to shape your environment and the enemies you face. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good FPS despite its lack of details because all the attention is redirected to the atmosphere and gameplay itself.

The mansion is drenched in a good selection of purple, beige and purple nuances with a matte finishing that works just great. Orange enemies and golden loot are easy to spot and so are the key cards that you will need to get a hold of in order to open locked doors.

However, the apparent simplicity of the game makes it deceitful.

The objective in Adams Drive 32 is very simple. Get in the house, get the goods and get out. The challenge though, is how you manage to do it. There isn’t a tremendous amount of guards to take out but it will seem like it since you get only 8 bullets to use.

Every room or corridor you enter has a section that seems to be pitch black because the guards aren't able to see you. You must use those areas to your advantage to sneak up on them and perform a quick stealth kill. Some are easy to perform while others need a bit of planning after you figure out the movement pattern of the guards.

It’s not something overly complicated but it’s enough to make the game exciting and challenging without being punishing. Although, if mid-game you get shot, you have to start all over again.

Apart from the well polished gameplay, Adams Drive 32 also delivers a really good atmosphere. The guards whisper and you easily get confused about where they are when the sounds they make overlap with those of your footsteps. It’s a bit disorientating, which is nice.

If you’re looking for a lightweight but consistent stealth first-person shooter, then you can certainly give Adams Drive 32 a try.
