The game made me feel like I was a cop in 1980s New York who was blamed for something he didnt do and trying to prove he was innocent. It was really fun trying to solve my case while also dealing with gang, police and mafia. There were some bugs -like that you cant move around- ,but other than that the game was not too boring. For an old game. I liked it.
A lot of things are annoyingly buggy. It's a very fun game, but the last drop was not being able to ticket a car in a no park zone, which also had bad tires and lights. Gah! Edit: After cooling down; it's a unique and fun game. I'd recommend it to anyone. Just don't expect to finish it
You are a former detective framed for a crime you did not commit. Now you are a simple patrol cop on a crappy street in 1980s New York. Your job is to write parking tickets and check broken tail lights while your ex wife sucks your wallet dry and the local mafia wants your balls on a plate. Sounds like hell right? Wait until you see the pоrn studio and the mutant cockroaches This game is a masterpiece of pixel art trash. You walk the same small street for 20 hours but it never gets boring. Why? Because every choice matters. You can help the mafia, help the cops, betray everyone, or just ignore everything and write tickets like a good boy. The humor is dark and nasty. Your Russian partner Igor takes racist jokes like a champ and the dialogues are so sharp you could cut yourself The gameplay is simple but addictive. You check cars, you write fines, you talk to weirdos, you sometimes shoot a thug. Money is always tight and your boss hates you. The soundtrack is pure synthwave cocaine. I caught myself humming it at work like an idiot Now the bad stuff. The game gets repetitive. After 10 hours you want to scream every time you see another car with expired plates. The shooting mechanics are clunky as hell. And the ending? I wont spoil it but you will be pissed. Still the journey is worth every penny Beat Cop is not for everyone. If you need explosions and fast action go play Call of Duty you casual. But if you want a dirty funny heartbreaking story about a loser cop who just cant catch a break this is your jam
It's all right I suppose. For the 10 zł I spent (2,75 USD), I got 17 hours of playtime, a solid deal. The gameplay, at least initially, seems solid, but since you have to do the same tasks for like a month straight, it quickly gets repetitive. Even not worth the hustle, by midgame I had enough money to not bother with tickets anymore, even more so since you don't really have many spendings to do. The story and characters aren't exactly memorable either. I just don't get why the devs bothered with pro-mafia and pro-gangs tasks so much, at best they felt immersion-breaking, I feel like if the game had a clear focus on the police work it'd be better. Also, I have to complain about somewhat unintuitive story? I simply doubt I'd finish with the good ending if I wasn't following a guide, given how clunky it gets at times. Nonetheless, it's a decent enough game, and most importantly why I recommend it, it's unique. I genuinely cannot think of a game to compare it to, so if you're tired of your standard action-adventure/FPS games, t's worth it on a sale I'd say.
