    Sorry I am not impressed. The AI is really flunky. Flash-bang/Breaching charges get ignored. Highly trained swat/insertion teams get crushed by street thugs. Having a fully trained officer with weapons at the ready and the element of surprise gets gunned down 8 times out of 10. I am sorry NOT impressed at all. If you really want this game wait till it's fully released but as of right nowSorry I am not impressed. The AI is really flunky. Flash-bang/Breaching charges get ignored.

    No clear way to get "squad levels", I'm guessing you complete solo missions before the campaign to unlock?

    Bug on the first level, I could not delete a "planning node" once set under arbitrary conditions; The issue would just show up every once in a while, no matter what skill I picked to use. Tactically boring: make a small move, look for "tangos" if found kill, if surprised,

    Tactically boring: make a small move, look for "tangos" if found kill, if surprised, restart level, make new plan, repeat. More of an elaborate game of "Simon Says" than anything else.

    Also a little racist? All the "tangos" had darker skin tones, from what I could tell.

    not realistic, AI is weird, lack of possible entry points, insufficient choice of weapons, lack of really important equipment, long story short if you have no experience with military scenarios you'll find this attempt quite entertaining otherwise.. a waste of time.

    This is a mobile phone game, so expect nothing more. Unless you have a crap PC there is no reason why you should waste your time on it. Playing this on a train from Bristol to London wouldn't make me feel bad. But playing this on a PC at home, makes me feel like I am wasting my time as there is million better games out there. It's neither amazing when it comes to tactics, or graphics, orThis is a mobile phone game, so expect nothing more. Unless you have a crap PC there is no reason why you should waste your time on it.

It's neither amazing when it comes to tactics, or graphics, or controls, or anything else for that matters. Basically it's amazing as a tactical mobile game and amazing as indie tactical PC game.

    Simply put, Door Kickers is a wonderful exercise in bloody minded fun that brings out the inner SWAT leader in all of us.

    A very addictive and hugely enjoyable game with heaps of replayability thanks to the level generator and level builder.

    A tactical gem that’s designed almost like a puzzle game. [March 2015]
