Description

Door Kickers: Action Squad is a crazy old school side-scroller action game that puts you in the role of a SWAT trooper and sends you to deal with the bad guys in Nowhere City USA.



Choose your gear, then kick the doors down and face the action. Adapt and react by the seat of your pants, and if needed - restart without a care and rethink. Master weapons recoil and time your reloads, use distance and cover to your advantage and use the in-game Strategic Abilities to decide for yourself when healthpacks or gear refills are needed, or if that team-mate of yours is worth saving. Or just save up the Points earned and unleash your Ultimate to waltz through that tricky final room.

And when it gets too hard, bring over a friend to help.



Quick Points:

  • High detail retro graphics
  • 6 playable characters, each with unique gameplay and level up options
  • Unique in-game Strategic Abilities system
  • 84 non linear levels to complete
  • 60 weapons and gear items
  • 20+ enemy types and 4 mission objectives
  • Zombie invasion mode allowing you to play the game again in a new way
  • Couch and Online Cooperative Multiplayer

Extremely enjoyable game to blast through. I really enjoyed the side scrolling aspect of it and found that the missions never felt like they were impossible to get even when I was running as Breacher. Would recommend.

It is a fantastic 2-D action couch co-op (can also be single player, but is much more fun with a friend). It can be as serious or silly as you want it to be. Blast the bad guys, blast the hostages, do what you want!

This game is a lot of fun. The music alone is one of the best out there for cops versus robber's vibe. The retro aesthetic works well and the gameplay is smooth with special actions, movement, and integrating into

For $14 , Door Kickers: Action Squad offers a generic set of levels where players must either save hostages, defuse bombs, or perform warrant arrests on the same kingpin model repeatedly. All enemies soak up bullets to

I tend to be positive towards 2d games because they're simpler and often have more effort put into presentation and atmosphere, and this game absolutely does this well. The 1980s cop-show-thingy tone of the entire game

This was one of the first games I played on the steam deck and it is an absolute banger. Variety with then officers and level design. Really wishing for a sequel.
