Developed by KillHouse Games · Published by KillHouse Games









You lead a SWAT team through raids on buildings, taking on missions such as hostage rescues and bomb defusals. From a top-down view, you direct the squad rather than control an individual operator.
Study each layout, choose entry points and equipment, and draw routes and actions for your officers. Start the operation to watch the plan unfold in real time, pausing to issue or adjust orders as threats emerge.
Missions reward careful coordination, and officers can gain abilities and access to additional gear as you progress. The game also offers generated missions, a mission editor, mods, and two-player online co-op.
Reviewers often praise the tactical planning and the satisfaction of watching a coordinated raid succeed, especially when they can adapt after a plan goes wrong. Some also enjoy the mission variety and custom maps or mods. Others criticize squad behavior and route-editing controls, and describe some missions as difficult or repetitive.
