'Door Kickers' involves cops kicking down doors, and these doors are very fun to kick down. It's also very challenging, which is why I love it.
PC Gamer 84/100
A lot of the more demanding thrills that modern games have left behind are evoked by them, such as the hard-won satisfaction that comes from overcoming intimidating challenges, as well as the experimentation that comes from exploring all the different ways you can play through a large, open-ended level for hours on end. I had a blast working my way through pretty much all of the harder stages in this game, and I think you might as well."

"It captures the planning and satisfying execution of more complex strategy games, as well as the gung-ho and the popping-off of growly men in military shooters." It's probably the best shooter game I've played in a while."

During a tactical intervention, Door Kickers pairs old-school, no-quarter action and strategy with modern ergonomic interfaces.
Coordinate multiple troopers to reach the hostage room before the bad guys are able to press the trigger by analyzing the situation, planning team routes, choosing equipment, and establishing breach points.
It includes a new campaign, as well as cross-platform save functionality, and an entirely new interface.
As with real-world CQB combat, it is indeed daunting. Most levels can be completed in minutes and improvisation works well on the fly. Achieving perfect planning and completing the mission without making any mistakes or losing any people is a skill harder to master.
Several quick points:
- There are 80 single missions, 6 campaigns, and unlimited gameplay via the mission generator
- To overcome the enemy, you can use over 65 weapons and gear items.
- Analyzing strategy from the top down for optimal results
- With free pauses in real-time
- No turns, no hexes, no action points, no awkward interfaces
- A realistic but action-packed story
- The levels are nonlinear and the strategy is freeform
