'Due Process' Free To Play on Steam this Weekend

by Rainier on May 27, 2021 @ 8:24 p.m. PDT

Due Process is a tactical FPS about planning and teamwork that rewards communication with teammates.

Due Process allows players to draw a "playbook" directly onto the map during the planning phases, and presents a novel situation each play session thanks to a bounty of procedurally generated, hand-curated maps.

Fresh maps make Due Process great. Levels are built in-house via a procedurally assisted level generation process and are delivered weekly via steam update, which means you won't be playing on the same stale level. Our level designers edit each level before it goes out and are constantly trying new concepts.

Teamwork starts with a goal. Discuss your strategy over voice chat, and use the planning phase to draw up a plan of attack. Deploy your assets wisely over the course of three rounds, as anything fielded from your armory won't come back if destroyed or lost.

No plan survives first contact. The plan is a start, but you're going to have to think on your feet and coordinate with your team when things go awry. Getting your teammate to open fire to cover your footsteps just might secure you the element of surprise.

Currently in Early Access, Due Process is free this weekend on Steam.

The free weekend will end on Monday, May 31, and players who want to dive back into the game will be able to do so at a discounted price of $12.49 through Monday.

Play as two distinct factions with radically different playstyles and capabilities. Asymmetric warfare at its finest.

A corporate military force contracted with enforcing indefinite martial law. Armed with the best tactical gear and weapons for a CQB environment. Speed, surprise, and violence of action are the essential elements of good execution. Once a plan is made, move forward with purpose, either by systematically eliminating the opposition room by room, or by striking swiftly at the heart of the defense.

A rag-tag band of outlaws who oppose the corporations by any means necessary. Their weapons and gear are relics and rudimentary, but are not to be underestimated. Cunning is their strength. Anticipate what the enemy is planning, then set up the kill zone. Lay traps, coordinate crossfire with your team, and exploit breaks in the attack to flank the enemy and bring a decisive end to the fight.

Key Features:

  • Play As A Bonded Unit: In Due Process, the only road to victory is teamwork. Each match begins with a planning session, providing teams an opportunity to gear up, discuss strategy over voice-chat and formalize tactics by drawing directly onto the map - like a playbook. Once the round begins, combat is quick and energetic - with one team on offense and the rival team defending a structure with multiple entry points.
  • Fresh Scenarios Each Match: Due Process introduces an evolution of the FPS scenario. Maps are procedurally generated, then expertly curated by the development team for maximum fun - resulting in a novel situation within each match, whether the outcome is victory or defeat. Due Process balances the playing field by making it more about outsmarting your opponent than memorizing a map, eliminating the inherent unfairness of “map knowledge.” With visuals inspired by 90s arcade light gun games like Time Crisis, Due Process uniquely marries neon-retro aesthetics and modern gameplay innovations.

Powered by Unity, Due Process is currently in development for PC with other platforms being considered.
