This update to Door Kickers is a doozy, featuring some really big features! It's a fantastic game and should be checked out by all of you.

Truth be told I was very sceptical of how far they could take Door Kickers, since the early alpha versions had most of the features I was expecting. They keep knocking my previous thoughts out of the water with every new version. Not many games get many times better with each release like Door Kickers does.

The game is still in Early Access, so you are likely to find bugs here and there and the occasional rough edge, but don't let that put you off of a fantastic experience.

Alpha 10!
Alpha 10 is the magic number for Door Kickers as it has some fantastic new features such as:
- Bigger maps (zoom/scroll enabled for all maps)
- New scenario type: Protect the VIP
- Three new enemy types (Operator Orville, Juggernaut Emil, Assassins)
- Three new maps
- Improved enemy/SWAT AI
- Export replays to video
- Modding support + in-game mods menu
- Steam Workshop support
- Can resume a game anytime during a replay
- Added enemy ghosts for last visible location
- Added maxFPS and vertical-sync in options.xml
- Improved FPS / loading time
- Game size reduced significantly (due to compressed textures)
- Can now hide the HUD while playing; not yet in replay mode
- Multiple graphics improvements
- rebalanced armor types
- rebalanced 9mm and .40 caliber vs .45 caliber pistols
- New sounds
- game now loads .dds files in addition to .tga and .png
- new door types added – elevator and bus doors

About Door Kickers
Door Kickers is an innovative Real-Time Tactics game that puts you in charge of a SWAT team. With your help we can make this The Ultimate Swat Team Command Simulator.

Analyze the situation, plan team routes, choose equipment and 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, it sure is. 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 harder to master.

Features
  • 2D, top down graphics
  • Real Time with Free Pause
  • No DRM
  • PC oriented (Windows/Mac/Linux), with handhelds as later developments
  • Single Player (MP will come later in some form)
  • No turns, no hexes, no action points or awkward interfaces
  • Non-linear levels, freeform gameplay
  • Mission editor and modability
  • Unlimited gameplay via mission and campaign generators


You can buy it from them directly for a DRM free version + a Steam key, or just on Steam below:

I´ve had this game on my wishlist since early september. It really looks good, but I´m not a big fan of early access games, but maybe this one is worth getting already?

I grabbed it back when it was an Alpha 4 & it was pretty damn good back then, now it's much better.
