Psychology
Civilians and armed suspects have certain morale and react to the stimuli around them. With the help of voice pressure, it is possible to force the opponent to cooperate. However, this may not be enough for long distances. Some give up easily; some do not. In case of failure, it is possible to use other options such as Pepper spray or blinding grenade.

Fight tactics and breaking the door
Choose from an intense dynamic action such as blasting the door or kicking them in. In this case, however, you can face opponents from the outside but also the inside. In many situations, therefore, a quiet action is more appropriate, like a slow opening of the door using a handle, the use of silent variants of weapons, etc.

Before entering the room, it is recommended to use a camera to check the number and location of suspects. The door can be opened in many ways, such as slowly opening the door, kicking it out or using explosives, etc. Some doors may be locked. Then it is necessary to use a unique multifunction tool to open it.
It is a good idea to be safe using a Flashbang grenade before entering. It is advisable to continually guard access to the room and cover the space and corners as well. It is also advisable not to shatter the team too much and rely on yourself more.
It is ideal for moving forward considering the protection of the lives of civilians, armed suspects and, of course, members of your team.

Fog of war
You only see what your team members see. You have to proceed carefully from door to door, covering corners and unprotected places to prevent a surprise attack of the enemy. Because the design of the levels is not predictable or not know in advance, surveying the area goes step by step.

Set up the rules
It is essential to set up the rules as soon as possible and to secure all suspects and civilians. An unsecured opponent is still a threat, and if one does not pay attention, he may try to escape or attack suddenly. Chaos on the battlefield increases the risk of injury to team members or civilians. Civilians can panic and scatter around.

Shooting system
The shooting system is based on the trajectory of the projectiles, considering the experience of the unit and the accuracy of the weapon. The higher the distance, the greater the chance that the enemy or your unit will also hit people around. These risks have to be considered based on the unit's experience. Some materials can be shot through.

Ragdoll physics and animations from motion capture
All characters has implemented Ragdoll physics. Animations are combined with data from motion capturing.

Ai
Opponents move around the area based on their judgment. At the beginning of each level, their position is randomly generated, so it is necessary to proceed carefully and tactically each time. They respond to loud sounds and follow what they see. If a threat occurs, they also let their colleagues know the information for being cautious and within a specific range. If attacked, they then try to hide behind the nearest obstacles.

Tactical Combat Department, developed by LukasH and published by Render System, positions itself as a grounded, turn-based tactical experience that leans heavily into careful planning and controlled execution rather than spectacle. It clearly draws from the DNA of classic law-enforcement strategy games, where success depends less on firepower and more on discipline, awareness, and decision-making under uncertainty. From the outset, the game establishes a slower, more deliberate rhythm, asking players to think several steps ahead before committing to any action. The structure revolves around commanding a small tactical unit tasked with neutralizing threats and securing environments room by room. Each move is governed by an action point system, forcing players to weigh every decision—whether to advance, hold position, breach an entry point, or prepare for a potential ambush. The presence of fog of war adds a constant layer of tension, as visibility is limited to what each unit can realistically perceive. This creates a sense of vulnerability that defines much of the experience; even routine movements carry risk, and the unknown becomes a persistent adversary. One of the more compel…

It needs a lot more to be a good game, better controls and gameplay mechanics, and level/story stuff, but I don't believe its coming so I recommend don't buy.

Well, it is interesting for sure. Easy game play, not hard to master. The game is pretty quick. I play 90 minutes and I completed 6 out of 10 missions. Game Run well on Linux and for the price point, this is a no brainer. I bought it on special for 1$. If you play a game for the same amount of time of the money you bought it, in my book is good. Dont forget, right click to rotate your units in the direction you want them to face. Cheers!!!!

A nice SWAT tactical game, plays well and rewards good tactics and strategy. You can win some missions without firing a shot with use of flashbangs and pepper spray as a police unit is not a military special ops unit, so the aim is not to shoot everybody on the map unless you have to, something that door kickers should learn as this just turns into a kill fest which is not the point of a swat game. Shame developer did not add more equipment, customizations and missions as this is a solid game
