Sadly a lot of the people that bought this game simply wanted to fantasize about killing protesters, a lot of these people are not exactly smart, so over time the game became less simulation and more predictable. Other then the section of the fan base that things of this as antifa slaughter simulator, the game is pretty good for what it is and the budget it was made on. I wish riot rts's was a bigger niche genre though. In that world, I probably would not of played this as much. It's a great concept, and done pretty well for like a first attempt in said niche. I wish they had like an "occupy" inspired mode, I imagine it would work like this. Eliminate the timer, it would be a survival based mode, so your job is to hold the area, the cops job is push the protesters out. The major difference between that and the mode that aleady exists would be the elimination of the timer. Some of the mechanics for this already exist. Such as the summon more protesters wifi thing. I would make that function based of the current protesters score you would normally get at the end of the match. The higher the more protesters show up. One would think the police ability to summon more forces and stronger more lethal weapons in this mode would be based of the violence score but I personally think its more complex then that, but it may work okay for a game. Another way that coulda worked is just simply, the longer the protest goes on, the more cops and the more violent they become. So thats what i really wanted out of this game, basically a survival mode, and its a little disappointing it never became one, but I would still reccomend this game overall.

No updates at all kinda complicated but really fun once you get the hang of it versus mode :D workshop maps :skull: bad reviews are because people don't know how to play

Game would be great if it had a Sandbox mode like come on you just gonna abandoned the game without just simply adding a simple feature of just letting us have inf points and guns It is pretty fun though.

Yes,the game has a few bugs,like the audio cutting off sometimes.And pathfinding sometimes sucks but can be fixed easily by moving the units to a bit down or upside and sadly the devs might be quit updating the game.But I think the bugs and little mistakes are in a level that can be ignored and it being abandoned doesnt mean its boring.If you like riots,violence and police I totally suggest buying this game.
