* JackOfAllStats: Randall can use biotics, a stealth generator, four out of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'''s six weapon types (assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles and heavy weapons) and therefore is less of an Infiltrator in the terms of the original games and more like a cross between a Vanguard and an Infiltrator.

It was made by the authors of ''VideoGame/DeadSpace Mobile'' and uses the same engine, albeit with a redesigned combat system to incorporate [[TakeCover cover-based]] mechanics.
The players take control of Randall Ezno, a [[PunchClockVillain Cerberus Operative]] that ends up at odds with Cerberus's plans for himself and his coworkers. Much shooting and backstabbery ensues.
The game also ties into the metagame of ''Galaxy at War'', allowing the players to secure intel drops (which can either be redeemed in-game for extra credits or converted to Galactic Readiness boosts for the metagame), and score Cerberus Defectors, which, like the MassEffect3 multiplayer soldiers, also boost the overall Galactic Readiness.

!!''Mass Effect: Infiltrator'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* BribingYourWayToVictory: Traditional iOS RPGElements game scheme - you buy new equipment with in-game currency, which, if necessary, you can get more of for real money.
* CheckPointStarvation: Some firefights are over after one wave of easily-dispatched mooks. Some require you to kill several waves in one location, move to another and survive some more. Good luck if you get a phone call somewhere along the way.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Just like in the original games.
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: Most of the Cerberus base is essentially the same building blocks rearranged in different orders. Granted, this should be expected of a secret base built of prefab elements.
* DoNotRunWithAGun: One of the main complaints about the game is that you cannot move and shoot at the same time, while some of the battles (particularly the bosses) were clearly designed with you BEING able to do this in mind. Your enemies do not have that limitation.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: You're a very special operative, and not only because your face has glowy things in it.
* {{Expy}}: Randall Ezno is a heavily augmented super-agent working for a shadowy paramilitary organization who eventually turns against his employers when he discovers their true agenda. If you think this sounds more than a bit like [[VideoGame/DeusEx JC Denton]], you're literally right, since both characters are also voiced by Jay Anthony Franke. They both even have the same nano-aug markings.

* RegeneratingHealth: Done following the ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' scheme, both your shields and your health regenerate if you stay out of danger long enough.
* RPGElements: As you earn money, you can buy better abilities and equipment as necessary.
* SaveScumming: The game doesn't really track those Intel Points outside of itself. Amass a lot, back up your saves through whatever means you can think of, spend them on Galactic Readiness, restore the backup. Voila, that intel is back while your Readiness is now higher! Rinse, lather, repeat.
* SceneryPorn: It may not be based on the Unreal engine, but some of those locations are downright spectacularly gorgeous, especially on the iPad.
