I only recommend this game if you are a very patient and receptive player. Otherwise, the time-sink nature of the game will filter you out. The game can be very punishing and frustrating, but if you learn to love the process of failing and learning, then there is depth and mastery to be found in the content within—both Vanilla and the Modded Content from the workshop. As of hitting my 100th hour, I have yet to figure out how to play the CIA. A 4 man-squad with an emphasis on stealth and covert tactics. Requiring more thinking and planning than the fast-reliable-loud US Rangers and Nowheraki Swat. Doorkickers 2 is a real-time strategy tactics game where you are encouraged to slow down and think your way through the map. It may not be macro-intensive, but there is still intensity to be found once the game ramps up in difficulty: bigger maps with larger squad sizes equating to more sightlines to cover, faster and more dangerous enemies, longer time investment to complete the map, timed obstacles, and more potential for failure (rocket launchers, emplacement machine gunners, elite enemies that shoot faster than your guys, and those stupid Suicide bombers). The Replay feature makes all the trouble worth it, in my opinion. I have a lot of them stashed up, and I enjoy rewatching them from time to time, seeing all my actions unfold into one cohesive film. It's fun. Starter Advice for New Players If you are starting out as a new player, here are some things I learned that I will give as advice to make the early game easier and more fun: Forgo the Medals - Medals are inherently worthless and are only there to be self-imposed challenges for players. Only take them on once you have a good grasp of the mission and have max-leveled operatives to make it easier. I stopped doing them once I got all the achievements. Forgo Single-Planning - Same with medals. It’s not needed and should only be done once you've finished the level at least once. Don't waste your time bashing your head against a wall trying to foolproof your plan to perfection, when most single plans completely rely on RNG. To be honest, single-planning can feel very janky and frustrating to play, as the game is inherently designed for real-time play. And that there are no single-plan save slots, you only get one and it is easily lost, from experience. The only exception where single plans may reliably work is for smaller and time sensitive maps(Bomb defusal and Execution), but for large maps with timed objectives above one minute, I just don't bother with it. Do Not Be Afraid to Try All Mission Types and Sizes - While it is fun to stick to smaller-sized maps for easier quicker CQB replays, you will be missing out on the quality of one large map when you focus on the quantity of a dozen apartment or medium-sized maps. I will almost guarantee that any new player will be hesitant to try out the very large maps due to how macro-intensive it may look, having to control up to 10 units. But once you get the hang of the controls, the flow of the game, and the rhythm of slowing down to make concise decisions, large maps can be very fun and rewarding to complete. To wrap everything up, here's a message to everyone, both veteran and new: Please give map makers the ratings they deserve. It helps boost higher-quality maps in the Steam Workshop sorting algorithm and helps the community find and play them. If you are struggling to find any good maps, I recommend going to a collection or finding those replays on YouTube. Thanks, and have fun!

This game is the best. I like it. Call back the memory 20 yrs ago about a game named " SWAT", same style but way better graphics and effects. Well Done!

Q: What is the game like? You control a squad of 1-8 soldiers. There are a bunch of enemies and a building they sit in. Objectives are all known - kill all, free the hostages, defuse a bomb, escort a VIP. All this from a top-down perspective. You pause and give orders. Or don’t pause. Or even pre-order the whole thing and get a reward if it works Q: Is it challenging? They rate your performance after each mission, 1-3 stars. Going for 3 stars in every mission is reasonably challenging. At least you have to be careful and think before you do. Getting one star can usually be done with an "everyone go forward" type of order Q: What's the overall quality of the game (graphics, UI, sound design, attention to details, game balance, bugs, etc)? It’s good, no complaints Q: What's the best thing about the game? It scratches the tacticool itch very well. Yet it focuses on the gameplay - not on endless equipment "variety", skins, perks, and all that crap. All these things are there, but they’re just extras that never steal the spotlight Q: What could stop me from buying the game? Not too much adrenaline here. Also, gameplay is kinda repetitive - not boring at all, but it’s the same "throw flashbang and get in", "kick the door, sweep left-right", "slice the pie around a doorway", etc. Every time. AI is expectedly dumb and easy to exploit. Q: So, what would be the final recommendation? A solid 8/10, worth trying for anyone who likes tactics

I was Marine Infantry and fought in Iraq in 2004 and 2005. Having cleared thousands of rooms I can say from firsthand experience this game is pretty legit. Using real world tactics actually works and is how you'll pass missions without losing half of your squad. If you prefer going in crash test dummy style with guns blazing you will fail a majority of the missions. I highly recommend this game.
