Inspector Gadget Overview
Inspector Gadget is a mission based game where the protagonist must rescue his captured niece from the antagonist Doctor Claw. The journey spans multiple global locations, beginning at a haunted castle in England, and involves navigating past hostile M.A.D. agents.
Combat utilizes basic physical attacks like punches and kicks. A variety of found items provide additional offensive options, including thrown bombs, projectiles for aerial foes, and small robotic duplicates. The player's vulnerability is managed through a health system where a first hit removes Gadget's overcoat, and a subsequent hit in that state costs a life. Extra overcoats can be collected as a defensive resource.
Progression is facilitated by specialized gadgets. These include mechanical hands for grappling rings and suction cups for scaling walls. Certain devices, like the hat, function as an energy source required to operate other equipment.
