Death to Spies is a single-player third-person stealth action game developed by Haggard Games and published by 1C Company for Windows PCs, first released in 2007. Players step into the shoes of Semion Strogov, a Soviet counterintelligence officer serving in SMERSH during World War II, tasked with carrying out covert missions behind enemy lines ranging from assassinations to sabotage and intelligence gathering. The game’s narrative framework uses Strogov’s interrogation in the early 1950s as a device to recount his dangerous operations during the war.
Gameplay emphasizes stealth and tactical decision-making: avoiding detection, using disguises, sneaking, silent takedowns, and clever use of tools and weapons. Missions offer multiple ways to complete objectives, rewarding careful planning over brute force. The game mixes historically-inspired settings, period equipment, and varied mission goals, creating a challenging experience reminiscent of classic stealth titles.
