Suffers from a lot of the issues you would expect from a lower-budget point-and-click adventure from this period. The environments have that sterile sheen to them, the fixed camera angles are frequently unhelpful, and the interface requires too much clicking to ever feel comfortable. There's also an optional "action" mode that adds some uninteresting quick-time events. Still, the campy espionage story has its charms, as does the energetic music score. Diabolik is a good fit for this genre, and if the character ever inspires another game, I hope it's similar to this, but better.
