I'm as dense as Osmium and I was wondering. so my friend was planning to buy the sequel of this for me and I was wondering how the stealth works. I don't play much RPGMaker and so I always got into fights because I don't know the stealth and from what ive heard CS 2 is alot more stealth centric if you dont want to be used (which i often leave to the next playthrough) so yeah I wanted to know how stealth works
It's not especially complicated. The main gameplay works just like CS1, fighting when you attract attention, so not really "stealth," though you can sometimes avoid a fight here and there. If you get caught repeatedly it switches to a basic stealth mechanic. Normally the guards move randomly, but once you're in this new mode they move in basic looping patrols, and have a somewhat smaller zone of where they'll see you. So it's just a matter of correctly timing your movements to get through these patrols. If you get caught you reset to the start of the area, and if you get caught too many times it's a game over.
So not too hard, and it's entirely possible to play the game and not encounter the stealth mechanic at all, depending on how you play.
