watched my AI teammate shotgun 3 unarmed black civilians in the chest and then run directly into a tripwire to avoid the media. 10/10 realism

Police Stories ”Tactical Top Down Shooter” A fun tactical top down shooter that is fairly brutal to learn at the start. In the beginning you will die a lot as its very realistic in terms of being shot, you have maybe 1 or 2 shots and you're done. Great AI partner if you use him correctly. Good little story and characters. Co-op play mode is available too. Plenty of weapons and non lethal gadgets. The goal is arrest rather than kill for maximum points and make sure you have a reason to shoot if you need too. Trail-Dave ”I'll be at your place in a few – just make sure to put on your cleanest uniform and maybe take a shower. You've been staying home for days, bet you smell like garbage right now“

you know that saying "looks like a duck, quacks like a duck"? well in the case of this game, it looks a bit....familar. you may buy this expecting to be playing another Hotline Miami but i'm telling you now this duck may look and quack like a duck but this duck has a Ferrari engine and an addiction to opiates. this game is the complete antithesis of Hotline Miami. you play super slow and careful or you just fucking die. i probably died more in the first level of this game than i ever have died in the first level of anything that isn't meant to troll you. that being said tho, once you start to understand the mechanics of this game its a really good time. don't ever try to play this game like it's hotline miami. i give it 10 quacks out of 10

SO while I would recommend it discounted from my experience so far, and the intuition that this would be most fun with a friend, i'll warn that the campaign AI partner, regardless of the mode, is monstrously bad and I've had a better time trying to complete the levels on my own after he's downed as there's no feeling of waste there. For Instance, If I tell him to cover a hallway, while I'm vulnerable; it doesn't matter because the enemy AI is fixed to shoot the moment we are in line of sight - one of two scenarios consequence; The enemy shoots and kills my partner (then most likely me as well), because the partner has to get off the drop your weapon line before anything else, OR my AI doesn't engage the target at all because its not in *his* line of sight, followed by dying to one shot b/c I am. Just a precaution, and get it while its on sale, its not worth the full tag

March 2024

A fun and a quick 5 hour game to play in your free time. easy and enjoyable tactics with frustrating AI that can one shot you in 0.0001 MS the moment they see you. Most Achievements unlock during regular gameplay.
