Hot Brass is a top-down tactical shooter in which you take the role of a SWAT operator responding to missions such as hostage rescues, bomb threats and robberies. Play solo or with up to three other players in online or local co-op.
Each mission asks you to secure locations and complete objectives while distinguishing among civilians, suspects who may surrender, and active threats. You can issue warnings, arrest people who comply, and use force when situations escalate.
Plan your approach with a chosen equipment loadout and different entry points. Sneak in, use doors or windows, or break through destructible walls; cover, positioning and mission challenges such as avoiding infractions or casualties shape how you tackle each operation.
Players who enjoy Hot Brass often praise its cooperative play and the tactical choices involved in each mission, including equipment, stealth and alternate entry routes. Some also find the missions satisfying and challenging, with solo play enjoyable for certain players. Recurring frustrations include punishing failures that restart missions, strict rules around using force, and a relatively short run of content; some players also report trouble reading the minimalist visuals.
When SWAT gets the call, everything else has failed. Experience the high-risk world of the elite SWAT operator.
The job is tense, and every split-second decision has consequences. From infiltration to de-escalation: keen awareness, expert tactics and a strategic use of equipment are key to becoming a master of tactical strategy.
MASTER EACH MISSION: From hostage rescue to a terrorist bomb threat, arresting a biker gang boss or foiling a casino heist, each mission offers its own set of challenges to learn and overcome.
EQUIPMENT FOR EVERY ENCOUNTER: You'll need everything at your disposal to infiltrate and resolve each situation. Find the right tool for the right task!
MULTIPLE POINTS OF ENTRY: The obvious entrance isn't always best. Sneak around back or simply blast through the wall. Almost everything in the environment is destructible, allowing players to destroy windows, doors and walls to gain the upper hand.
UTILISE YOUR SURROUNDINGS: Crouch behind cover and slide over low objects to ensure you're in the safest and most advantageous position, whatever the situation.
GATHER YOUR UNIT: Play with 1-4 players in online and local co-op.
CHALLENGE YOURSELF: How quickly can you read a situation? Find the best strategy for every scenario. You'll only complete a perfect mission with zero infractions and zero casualties.
