Door Kickers (PC)

Post by Macca00 »

There are a constant stream of solid indie PC games released almost every week but just wanted to post about this one - it's a top-down strategy game in the vein of Frozen Synapse but has you controlling a SWAT team in a variety of real-world situations/locations. It's a real-time tactical/strategy game but you can pause the action at any point and cue up commands.

I reviewed it for Maximum Pixelation here;

I think it's an absolutely phenomenal game. It's only $20 and since it's release in October the developers have added 2 new campaigns with more than a dozen new levels - all for free.

When you finish a level you get a replay of the action - here are videos of two very early levels - later levels are much, much larger and more intricate. I think it's definitely worth checking out and will work on most PCs.

1. That looks excellent.

2. You suck. I have too many games already.

3. I've been clamoring for full replays like this in games for years. So glad to see them finally showing up more.

Oh, crap, that's so right up my alley. Is it direct control, or more of a strategize/see how that strategy works-type thing?

EDIT: nm, just watched someone play it out. I LOVE that. LOTS of strategy, kind of like a top down "Full Spectrum Warrior". Great stuff.

Teal - I think you would love it! It's not system intensive at all - according to the developers the recommended specs are:

"OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: NVidia Geforce 9xxx / AMD Radeon HD / IntelHD 3000 series or better
Hard Drive: 2 GB available space
Additional Notes: A resolution of 1920x1080"

Which means most computers made in the last 6-7 years will work just fine (the GeForce 9xxx series of cards came out early 2008 I believe).

Mizzou - glad you're enjoying it! The Steamworks support is great - there's a neat Rainbow 6 mod someone made.
