“警察官の活躍を描くトップダウンシューター。一見すると敵をガンガン始末していくゲームに見えるが,敵に殺意を向けられる前に発砲するとスコアがマイナスになるという,警察官であることの縛りが独特の面白さと難しさを生み出している。”

Reviews

“It’s a cop game that looks and plays like Hotline Miami but has more in common with the slower, more tactical first-person SWAT series in practice.”
PC Gamer

“This sliver of game has occupied me all afternoon, despite being only two levels, and I really enjoy how it feels. I especially love how one wrong move blows an entire mission.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

“If you’re a lover of Police Quest or Door Kickers then Police Stories absolutely needs to be on your radar.”
Hardcore Gamer

About This Game



Inspired by SWAT 4 and gritty police TV shows, Police Stories is a fresh take on top-down shooters with an emphasis on tactics that forces you to make split second decisions. Neutralize criminals, rescue civilians and defuse bombs in Single Player mode or Online Co-op. And remember - shooting first is not an option!

Unforgiving and tense, each mission tells a story of two police operatives - John Rimes and Rick Jones, filled with infiltrating gang hideouts, rescuing hostages, making arrests and other life-threatening situations.



  • The Surrender System allows you to apprehend the suspects without resorting to violence. Fire a warning shot near them or engage them in melee combat - those are just some of the ways you can make them submit.
  • Issue commands to your fellow cop Rick Jones. Make sure to use him wisely - and who knows, he might save your life in return.
  • Randomly placed criminals, hostages and evidence make every level run unique. The placement changes every time you restart, leading to new interesting situations and opportunities.
  • As a law enforcement officer, you will have access to end-of-the-line police equipment, such as under-the-door cameras, door blast charges and many others.
  • Various types of lawbreakers, from small petty criminals to well organised gangs and terrorists. Each type has not only unique weapons, but different behaviour and shooting skill.
  • Complex Tactical Gameplay: Try not to get spotted, don't waste bullets, regularly check your surroundings and make sure to take criminals down quietly.
  • All your actions are scored in real time. Playing aggressively won't get you a high enough result to start the next mission - so keep that in mind!
  • Co-op. Complete mission together for better scores and more fun!
