You're moving people around and telling them where to look. That's the game. And you're trying to puzzle out how to clear rooms when they have unusual shapes or inconvenient door arrangements. Lots of fun. Starts out boring. Good once you can afford better equipment. There are levels that you literally cannot beat until you buy certain things. You HAVE TO LOSE and come back later and that's dumb. The campaigns are really good.

At full price, I don't find Door Kickers to be all that outstanding. Yet you can buy it for a couple of bucks when it's on a deep sale and get literally hundreds of missions, community-made maps, and even your own level editor, all packaged into a top-down strategy SWAT game where you can either pre-plan every move your SWAT team makes or painstakingly move every individual member by yourself. And while I don't think there is enough gameplay diversity or depth to keep me invested for more than about half a dozen / a dozen hours, I'd still recommend spending a couple of bucks and trying it out if it looks like a game you might enjoy. 5/10

Really fun and interesting top-down strategy game. 6 campaigns, 90+ single missions, and a random mission generator that allows for a good amount of playtime. Not much like this type of game out there and scratched an itch I didn't know I had. Easy to pick up and understand, but provides a good challenge throughout the missions/campaigns. Although I had played Door Kickers 2 prior to picking this one up, it was well worth it. In comparison to Door Kickers 2; DK1 it is just a more simple version with smaller maps, less utilities, and no destructible environments. The difference in gameplay from DK1 to DK2, is like the difference from Halo Wars 1 to Halo Wars 2. DK2 is undoubtedly an improvement on the foundation of the previous installment. With DK2s 1.0 release sometime this year, I don't see myself playing any more of this game. However, I believe it is still worth a play, even at full price. Definitely on sale. 100% in less than 45hrs.
