Rebel Cops has three difficulties, Relaxed, Normal and Hard mode. Oh no, this is a game for those who love to get frustrated if they press the wrong button or accidentally walked in front of someone. However, Rebel Cops is an absolute bastard in terms of its difficulty – this really isn’t a game for newcomers to the genre or those looking for a nice simple game to play in their spare time. One of the main complaints people had with This is the Police 2 was its difficulty, an issue I didn’t really feel was that much of an issue for me as I seemed to progress just fine. One small noise and everyone knows where you are! Completing these isn’t required to progress (unlike the main missions), but I found these were easier than the main story-line and were a great way to boost your colleague’s levels and a chance to get more money. These also come with their own side-quests in some cases and can easily take over an hour in order to complete. These are separate one-off events which are nothing to do with the main narrative. Money is obtained through accepting and successfully completing various side-quests within each mission as well as picking up random items as you explore the map, this can then be spent post-mission on a handful of weapons, ammo, armour and accessories.Īs you progress through the various missions, you’ll get the chance to also take part in a variety of side missions (not to be confused with the side-quests). If you’ve never played any TRPG before, you command a group of units as you move around via a turn-based system, trying to stealthily take down the enemies as you complete your goals or at least stay alive if it turns into a firefight!Īs you’re a band of rebels, money and resources aren’t exactly available in abundance – you must re-distribute your available gear at the beginning of each round (which gets a bit annoying as there’s no way to save a load-out), ensuring each officer not only has a weapon but the ammunition to go along with it as well. If you’ve not played that game but you’ve played a tactical game such as Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics, XCOM, Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark or Phantom Doctrine, it’s very similar to those. If you’ve played This is the Police 2, Rebel Cops is basically the tactical segments of that game. This’ll look familiar to those who played This is the Police 2. However, nobody has actually seen the infamous ruler personally, all of his dealings and trading takes place through proxies and assistants, making his true whereabouts a secret.
He ended up in Ripton, a small town which he apparently now runs as he has all manner of politicians, officials, cops, criminals, and judges under his control. So, what is the story? From my understanding, there’s a criminal mastermind who goes by the name of Viktor Zuev, a Russian who crossed someone from the KGB and was forced to leave the motherland. Considering the developers have concentrated on the gameplay more than anything else, I’m not disappointed with the presentation of the story, I just would have liked a little more immersion and depth. Rebel Cops is merely a single image and a block of text which describes the story and what your current objective/mission is. Previously we had cutscenes, narration, some dialogue options and an overall narrative that drew you in and had you hooked as you became fully immersed as the story went on. As someone who has played through the previous ‘ This is the Police’ titles, the story within Rebel Cops didn’t feel as involved or immersive as I’d hoped for.
