About Police Stories

About this game

Unforgiving and tense, each mission tells a story of two police operatives - John Rimes and Rick Jones, filled with infiltrating gang hideouts, rescuing hostages, making arrests and other life-threatening situations.

  • The Surrender System allows you to apprehend the suspects without resorting to violence. Fire a warning shot near them or engage them in melee combat - those are just some of the ways you can make them submit.
  • Issue commands to your fellow cop Rick Jones. Make sure to use him wisely - and who knows, he might save your life in return.
  • Randomly placed criminals, hostages and evidence make every level run unique. The placement changes every time you restart, leading to new interesting situations and opportunities.
  • As a law enforcement officer, you will have access to end-of-the-line police equipment, such as under-the-door cameras, door blast charges and many others.
  • Various types of lawbreakers, from small petty criminals to well-organised gangs and terrorists. Each type has not only unique weapons but different behaviour and shooting skills.
  • Complex Tactical Gameplay: Try not to get spotted, don't waste bullets, regularly check your surroundings and make sure to take criminals down quietly.
  • All your actions are scored in real-time. Playing aggressively won't get you a high enough result to start the next mission - so keep that in mind!
  • Online Co-op. Complete missions in multiplayer for better scores and more fun!

70 / 100
"Overall, Police Stories is a game I give a hearty recommendation, all the heartier should you have a buddy cop to bring along. It strikes that same high-paced, repetitive...

SpazioGames

75 / 100
"Police Stories is more then a simple Hotline Miami copy-and-paste, and add some very interesting tactics options to the top-down shooter mechanics."

80 / 100
"The story is forgettable because of its generic nature and the visuals aren’t incredible, but Police Stories is about the tactical gameplay and having to make those...

Matej
Police Stories is incredibly challenging tactical action where you control two characters. You will assault hidden enemies and secure hostages from buildings, you can also defuse bomb. I found it a bit too difficult and you can not progress in missions unless you make almost no mistakes, that is grade C, if you make no mistake, you get B, and if you are also fast you get A. A, basically means, you have clean mission without casualties, great accuracy and speed. Mistakes are made when you shoot a civilian, or shoot an enemy who surrenders or receive damage. I have not got far but I enjoyed 7 hours I played so far.

If you enjoyed Hotline Miami, you might just love this! A more tactical take on the top down, room clearing genre. Great mechanics paired with a nice story to follow along. Absolutely worth a purchase!

Super fun game! It's hard to master, but once you do it gives tons of enjoyment. For me, it lost a star for difficulty. I'm not the best at top down games, but this one seemed REALLY hard. REVIEWED ON STEAM DECK
