Rebel Cops<\/strong> If you\u2019re a gamer who is into indie games, you may have already heard about the This is the Police franchise. Their latest game in the series, Rebel Cops<\/em>, is a spin-off title that removes all of the police troop management and most of the rather shady moral dilemmas and focuses mainly on the turn-based, tactical portion of the previous entries.<\/p>\n The backstory of Rebel Cops<\/em> is pretty boilerplate but frankly, what cop story haven\u2019t we seen before? A mysterious Russian mobster known as Viktor Zuev has moved into the little town of Ripton and basically either paid everyone off or caused the death of any who resisted. This includes the local police department.<\/p>\n You play as a small faction of police who couldn\u2019t be bought off (cue: The Untouchables theme song). Unfortunately, being a band of \u201crebel cops\u201d means that they no longer have the recourses of the official police department since they\u2019ve gone rogue. Therefore, your guys will only have access to second-hand weapons and equipment.<\/p>\n Although outmanned and outgunned, your rebel cops can call on the assistance of local Ripton citizens to help you in your efforts to take back the town. If you carry out their quests favorably and give them some of the loot from missions, you\u2019ll be looked at in a positive light and relations with them will increase. However, failing lots of missions will make them lose faith in you and you may find your financial resources drying up pretty quickly.<\/p>\n Rebel Cops<\/em> almost feels like a roguelike in its brutality. You can aim for the head, chest, arms, and legs, but if a body part isn\u2019t covered by body armor, you can pretty much kiss that renegade cop\u2019s life away. Even with armor, a headshot is always a very bad thing.<\/p>\n To mitigate this unforgiving combat system, your fellow rebel cops can dash to the aid of downed comrades, provided they don\u2019t put themselves into the line of fire of enemies. I liked that the devs added this touch of medical support for people who might shy away from games that they feel are overly-difficult.<\/p>\n One of the major advantages that your renegades have on their side (besides a human brain controlling them) is stealth. Your criminal foes can\u2019t see your guys if they\u2019re tucked behind cover. Unfortunately, even though Rebel Cops<\/em> is played from a top-down, X-COM-style perspective, you can\u2019t rotate the game\u2019s maps which means you can\u2019t tell if you\u2019re in cover or not, much of the time.<\/p>\n If you manage to sneak up on enemies, you can simply incapacitate them with batons and then arrest them. When you arrest criminals, they simply vanish from the map without a trace. Although this makes things easier for you from a gameplay perspective, it\u2019s a little unrealistic and breaks the sense of immersion sometimes but I guess maybe they designed it to free up resources.<\/p>\n Mission-wise, a lot of quests are more difficult than they first appear. Even the side missions can be extremely deadly to your force’s lives. You\u2019re only allowed to take six renegade cops on a mission, but since many missions are spread out in faraway spots, you\u2019ll have to divide your forces during the campaign. Upon successfully completing objectives and gaining experience, you can build up your rebel cop\u2019s three attributes, which are Strength, Shooting, and Speed.<\/p>\n One of the features I did find really handy in Rebel Cops<\/em> was the ability for your cops to cover each other during combat. When implemented correctly, this buddy covering system can prevent your guys from being surprised by criminals. It\u2019s a pretty unique system that I haven\u2019t seen imploded in other tactical, top-down games.<\/p>\n In any event, Rebel Cops<\/em> is a pretty fun turn-based tactical game that will probably appeal to lovers of the top-down, tactical genre. It has some fun combat and if you\u2019re prepared for a hard as nails game, it could well be worth a try.<\/p>\n SCORE: 77%<\/p>\n Rebel Cops <\/em>has some pretty nice looking graphics that make its tactical-based gameplay truly shine. However, you want to have a pretty beefy gaming PC or gaming laptop in order to play it at a decent framerate.
