    Action Squad also supports local and online co-op so that you and a friend can party up and kick ass. This creates a unique dynamic rather than just playing solo. With a partner, you are able to create new tactics and deal more damage than a single person would. A great combo to try out is the shield and assaulter. The shield can block incoming bullet damage while the assaulter can stand behind them to let off a volley of gunfire. These options in gameplay made it feel exciting and fresh throughout. I never found a dull moment in Door Kickers regardless of the shallow customization.

    Door Kickers Action Squad is a great game, but outside of its generous helping of levels, it’s a little light on content. For the price, this is one of the better co-op titles I’ve played, and it offers a unique experience you’re not getting anywhere else. A surprising treat.

    Side-scrolling, door-booting, and criminal-annihilating, Door Kickers: Action Squad is sure to fill the “I haven’t blown anything up today” hole that is burning through your chest. With couch and online co-op, you and your partner can blast through terrorist-filled house after drug-lord-filled house together. Just don’t expect anything deeper than east to west shooting.

    It's most fun in coop, has a tactical element to it that I don't think exists in other similar games.

    Great game done by real, hard working people, highly recommended. Also play the classic Doorkickers game if you somehow missed it

You get out as much as you put in; if you want to run-and-gun you can, but will probably die, and if you want to play tactically, there's many options available to you. The fun increases in co-op, and I would recommend this to anyone who has been looking for a pick-up-and-play game with some friends, or on their own.

    The game has continued to get love after release from a dedicated development team, and for achievement hunters such as myself, there are plenty of fun ones to choose from.

    Good game to have some old school fun which becomes GREAT when playing with a friend (couch coop is best but online works too). Tried it PAXGood game to have some old school fun which becomes GREAT when playing with a friend (couch coop is best but online works too). Tried it PAX East and loved, and so did families with kids. I actually had to wait in line to get to try the game. Heard they will add a new playable character soon?

    Update: They have now added another character (Off-duty Swat guy) and another full chapter. They're quite cool. The game is also out on consoles so I got it on Switch. No crossplay yet as far as I can see.    … Expand
