“I don’t have to draw a line in the sand. I already have one. It’s thin. It’s blue. It’s mine and if you cross it, I will protect it.” Anonymous Author
Become the commander of an elite anti-terrorist squad and lead them on the most dangerous missions. Remember you are the good guy, but sometimes it's better to pull the trigger and go home on your own than to be carried. Yours and your men’s squad life are the most important.
Analyze the situation, plan team routes, choose equipment, breach points, and coordinate multiple troopers to reach the hostage room before the bad guys get to press that trigger.
It may sound daunting and like real world CQB combat. But most levels can be completed in minutes and on the fly - improvisation works. Achieving the perfect planning, getting the mission done with no false steps, that’s a skill hard to master.
FEATURES:
2D, Top Down for optimal tactical analysis
Real-time with combat pause
No turns, no hexes, no action points or awkward interfaces
Realistic but action-packed
Non-linear levels
Unlimited gameplay via mission generator
Freeform tactics - improvise, adapt, overcome
Prepare your squad, chose equipment and weapon
