One of the best games ever by Irrational was SWAT 4. The only game I’m aware of to have a key solely for the purpose of yelling random cop-isms like “GET DOWN NOW!” or “HANDS IN THE AIR!” Well, we’ll probably never see SWAT 4 on Linux or SWAT 5 because Bioshock, but Door Kickers just got released on Steam Early Access from developer Killhouse Games. It’s in Alpha, so you’ll want to protect yo neck when playing, but you also get a sweet discount on the game if you purchase before it’s finished. Here’s their description:
Door Kickers is an innovative realtime strategy game that puts you in charge of a SWAT team and lets you command them during a tactical intervention.
Analyze the situation, plan team routes, choose equipment and breach points and coordinate multiple troopers to reach the hostage room before the bad guys get to press that trigger.
It may sound daunting, and like real world CQB combat, it sure is. But most levels can be completed in minutes and on the fly improvisation works. Achieving the perfect planning, getting the mission done with no false steps, that’s a skill harder to master.
Next planned build – Alpha 5:
Random Mission Generator + (Possible) Trooper Inventory Customization”
