Critic Reviews

75

GameGrin

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...

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."

Hooked Gamers

75 / 100
"Problems aside, Police Stories is fun. It’s not terribly long- the kind of game you could bust out in a weekend if you wanted to- but its bite-sized pieces and simple controls...

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
