The verdict
A top-down tactical cop game mixing Hotline Miami and SWAT, best in co-op. Skip it solo if you hate dumb AI partners, one-shot deaths and strict use-of-force scoring.
Great for
Co-op duos who like slow, tactical Hotline Miami / Ready or Not-style play on a discount
Main risk
Dumb partner AI, one-shot deaths and harsh use-of-force scoring make solo play frustrating

Random, frustrating trial-and-error
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 negative reviews
“The game becomes an excercise in trial and error that you cannot really improve in by skill, since it's all dictated by random enemy placement and behaviour.”
