Rescue hostages, disarm bombs and save the day in this old school, side-scroller action game with retro graphics and retro sensibilities. Online and Couch Coop Included.

Door Kickers: Action Squad is a crazy old school side-scroller action game that puts you in the role of a SWAT trooper and sends you to deal with the bad guys in Nowhere City USA.

Choose your gear, then kick the doors down and face the action. Adapt and react by the seat of your pants, and if needed - restart without a care and rethink. Master weapons recoil and time your reloads, use distance and cover to your advantage and use the in-game Strategic Abilities to decide for yourself when healthpacks or gear refills are needed, or if that team-mate of yours is worth saving. Or just save up the Points earned and unleash your Ultimate to waltz through that tricky final room.

And when it gets too hard, bring over a friend to help.



Quick Points:

• • High detail retro graphics
    
  • 5 playable characters, each with unique gameplay and level up options
  • Unique in-game Strategic Abilities system
  • 60 non linear levels to complete
  • over 40 weapons and gear items
  • 20+ enemy types and 4 mission objectives
  • Unlock player and squad abilities and use them wisely
  • Couch and Online Cooperative Multiplayer

Meet the squad!


ASSAULTER
Specialized in assault rifles and SMGs, the Assaulter is aptly equipped for long range combat and surgical firepower applied at the right time.


BREACHER
Carrying a shotgun for encounters with nasty doors and nastier outlaws, the Breacher is the master of adaptability and close quarters combat.


SHIELD
Always ready to go in first and protecting the squad from enemy gunfire and explosives, the Shield Officer is also a first rate pistol marksman.


RECON
Sneaky and deadly, the recon is a master of infiltration and can provide vital intelligence to boost the team’s attacks.


AGENT FERGIE
With her advanced handgun skills and quick knife moves, Fergie literally rolls into combat with no fear.

 

KHG's New game, 'Door Kickers: Action Squad' is awesome!

The tactical aspect is slightly weaker than previous game(Door Kickers), but more action is added. So more users would be able to access this game a little easier. Co-Op MultiPlay is rather simple, but enjoying it together is very attractive.

At the current balance, the combination of SHIELD & ASSAULTER, or the combination of SHIELD and BREACHER, seems to be the most powerful. it may need a little balance adjustment for the various tactical uses of the squad.

+ If STEAM WORKSHOP would be supported, I am sure it will be a really great game.

It's an exciting game worth trying, so enjoy their Spin-Off game.

 

Good News!

"The editor and many other goodies will come soon within the Steam Workshop. You'll be able to build your own levels and chapters, make your own localizations and even enemies and players."

Dev just added Chinese, Japanese and Korean translations to the game. Oh and Brazilian-Portuguese too, while we're at it



As always, we've worked with highly experienced professional translators AND tested the translations in the most efficient way (let's just say that random Chinese mom #3 at the kids playground was very enthusiastic and supportive).
But in the off-chance there's still bugs in the translations, please report them in the relevant thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/686200/discussions/0/3317353727679489174/

In other news, we fixed that annoying issue with the Online COOP lag. It should be smooth as a Breacher run through a hostage room!

* Halloween Surprise Update!



Gang, you know us... we're KillHouse Games. We're always dead serious (apart from small innocent April's Fools jokes). Our first game is used by the military to train, right? We don't do .... zombies.

But Action Squad is our crazy child, and we can't really control what it does. So this week, it stumbled into the Nowhere City cemetery, and this happened:



Consoles: just wait a bit

So, what's in our treat bag this Halloween:
- 4 zombie style enemies added. Or were they 5? 6? Be careful, reports are still garbled.
- Weekly challenge #3 is your special Halloween Level, and its a tough one.
- or you can go in "Zombie Invasion Mode" and enjoy the entire game, all levels, with extra zombie sauce. Beware, results are completely unpredictable.
- Or you can just ignore the whole thing, play the zombie-free Classic Mode and shake your fist at the screen for lack of a proper "ultra realistic Week 3 Challenge".



There's Dark Portals spawning around the world, you need to get there and close them down. Stop reading, start playing.

Let us know how you liked this little surprise, and whether we should add more stuff to it, or maybe it should be thrown into the pit and set on fire. Speaking of which, yes, do use fire against zombies.

Also, post (link) your Weekly Challenge 3 Winning screenshots in the comments below. The first players to post their Single Player / Coop screens win extra Action Squad keys, and eternal fame.

Your devs @ KHG and PixelShard

P.S. Just in case anyone's wondering, Door Kickers 2 is still in production.
