You command a SWAT Team in different scenarios, be it simply eliminating all the terrorists or missions that include hostages or bombs to defuse.
The level variety is great, the different types of mission always make the game seem fresh and provide a challenge.
One mission might be a rather simple (but still demanding) run-and-gun assault on a hideout with not much pressure, another one might give you a small 20second window to eliminate a terrorist threatening a hostage.

The levels can be approached rather casual if you don't mind casualties, but they are still challenging.
Most players will rather take a more tactical approach where you minimize the collateral damage and have a "more elite" execution of your plan.
The tactical possibilities for each mission seem endless with the variety of weapons and classes.

Every mission can be completed with 0 (failed) to 3 stars depending on your performance with additional challenges that add replay value such as "Only use real time combat" or "Only use one plan to finish the mission", as well as the classic "Beat this time".

The AI is good and always makes you think twice about your next move, their position also varies from try to try.


Conclusion: A really engaging, challenging game that always leaves you satisfied after a mission. Quite some customization (weapons), leveling (different classes, experience, small "perks") options and enough missions to keep you busy for a while.

Last but not least a small video that showcases how a mission works out after a few hours into the game (created with the ingame replay-to-video function)
