The game is a very simple 2D tactical shooter where you have enemies to kill and hostages to save. The whole game also makes fun of the excessive use of police force that sometimes results into civilians being killed.
The game plays well. You have several police classes with skill tree and several weapons. The game also introduces few different level game modes that are quite similar. A more memorable of them would be bomb diffusal that requires player to find a bomb within the time frame. You can also play with zombie mode that just adds some more chaos to the game as zombies also attack generic enemies and hostages that turn to more zombies. The core game is very engaging and you can have quite some fun without many new items or enemies introduced.
However that becomes a big pain in later levels as there are no new enemy types, weapons are basically all the same and map layouts and graphic design are so similar that it seems as you have seen exact same situation several times already. I have played the game for 9 hours and had good time with it but I didn't complete all chapters as I got bored. It is a shame as with some more creative level variety this game would be great. Please look at the Broforce for some inspiration.
