March 2025
Beat cop is a story about a detective that has been turned into a beat cop due to him being framed of a murder, the game gives you 21 days to patrol your 'beat' as well as maintain control and order between the Mafia and the Gangs and during these 21 days you are tasked with finding out the truth about the murder and the missing diamonds. The game is pixel graphics with it spanning one long street, one controlled by the mafia and one controlled by the gang. Each day brings a unique set of challenges or calls by the operator for you to discover and solve. the game might become repetitive or borderline insane at times with the amount of tickets you have to get to satisfy the quota. However, Each day brought a unique set of experiences and missions to do and as a result makes this game have high replayability as there will always be a different story awaiting me every time. 7/10. Would replay again.

I acted like a generic american cop in the game, then I eventually became a victim of drive by shooting. Epic game! 420/10

Insanely fun game with very offensive jokes, skip out on this one if you're soft as diarrhea. Otherwise pretty funny, gives you the 60s detective skits vibe with insane soundtrack. My only problem with this is that the ticket system is so boring, i know that's lowkey the point but jesus christ. Game has really low to none replayability, unnecessarily long day count and some days are just filler. Sure, 60s skits also had fillers but they were funny, this one is not. Would i recommend? For less than 5 bucks sure, with my eyes closed.

好玩。当巡警真不容易,每天脚不沾地地到处做任务。很喜欢美术风格和叙事方法。气氛太纽约了;角色们很“典”,但还是很有意思。 不看攻略没破成案,bad ending了。其实很想再来一周目,但是时间成本太高了,如果有快进或者什么方便一点的存档方式就好了... 什么时候能修好bug,下班前不能移动真的很崩溃。有时候能靠点周围的地,突然能走,但还是非常影响游戏体验。
