Inspired by SWAT 4, Police Stories is a fresh take on top-down shooters, in which resorting to violence isn’t the only way to go. As a police officer, you need to know when to show mercy - and when there’s no way to peacefully resolve a conflict.
Police Stories is unique in its aim to recreate a tension of being a real-life cop. The placement and even the behaviour of suspects and hostages changes every run, which forces you to make split-second decisions each time you encounter a suspect.The player will need to think tactically and utilise different equipment - and not simply going in guns blazing.
Live through the story of John Rimes, a stone-cold no-nonsense police officer - and his new partner, a loud-mouthed & brash rookie cop Rick Jones. The game follows the daily grind of two partners and friends - and what happens when they go against criminal forces bigger than they could imagine, filled with infiltrating gang hideouts, rescuing hostages, making arrests and other life-threatening situations.
Developer Mighty Morgan Studios and publisher HypeTrain Digital have announced they will be bringing Police Stories to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC on September 19th for $14,99.
Key Features:
- 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!
- Online Co-op. Complete missions in multiplayer for better scores and more fun!
Police Stories will be available for Nintendo Switch (eShop), PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam) on Sept. 19, 2019 for $14,99.
