A bit grindy but a great game nonetheless. I love the Door Kickers series, but I refuse to buy it at its current price or whatever sale the devs set it to (smh, it's still expensive). So when I saw this retro swat team Door Kickers game, I instantly bought it. It's repetitive, but you honestly get a good deal for the price. It reminds me of Rainbow Six Siege (minus the goofy lore), as it draws a lot of parallels to the series with its setting and tone. My favourite character would have to be Off-Duty Guy, as I almost have him maxed out, but every time I come off of him, I'm quickly reminded how bad I am at the game. Jokes aside, I've been having a ton of fun with his game; it's also very similar to a game called Police Stories, as they're both 2D retro police RPG shooters, with one being a side-view shooter and the other a top-down shooter. All in all, great game, been enjoying it on my Steam Deck and I can't wait to try the co-op if my brother picks it up.

EN: Excellent game, very fun! The soundtrack is great, just like the sound effects. The pixel art graphics are very well executed, as well as the mechanics, allowing you to play stealthily or go all out with a character who blasts away with a shotgun like crazy. Additionally, it's an excellent game to play with a friend and execute a winning strategy. 100% recommended! ES: Excelente juego, muy divertido. La banda sonora es muy buena, al igual que los efectos de sonido. Los gráficos en pixel art están muy bien ejecutados, al igual que las mecánicas, lo que permite jugar de forma sigilosa o ir a lo bruto con un personaje que mete escopetazos impresionantes. Además, es un juego excelente para jugar con un amigo y ejecutar una estrategia ganadora. ¡100% recomendado!

I shot the sheriff, and the terrorists, but I did not shoot the hostages. Really though its tactical Broforce, this game is awesome! Plays fantastic on the steamdeck also!

Best 2D action game since Broforce. Seriously, I`ve got a monster of a pc, but CS2, GTAV and all other games can get a bit boring sometimes. This is the shit for winding down, relaxing and listening to 80s nostalgia action vibes whilst blasting bad guys. Never thought I`d play this when I bought it, but here I am writing a review. Anyone remember the web game Strike Force heroes? This is more action filled, more of a challenge at times, yet somehow nice because you can forget about using the mouse and just go back to that joystick and 2 buttons layout kinda vibe when arcades were a thing. Buy it, you wont regret it. ps. use assault character for the best experience ;)
