This game does a decent job simulating Protests/Riots and Riot Response/Control. At the moment there are only 4 Story mode campaigns, each with 4 missions that allow you to play as either Protesters/Rioters or Riot Response Officers. You also have a "custom mode" that and "Editor" mode that allow you to create and play customized scenarios, though the editor is still in Beta so you may run into some problems as it's not quite refined. In Story mode you will play through different campaigns in Spain, Italy, Greece and Egypt and your goals for each mission are to push back the opposing faction to achieve an Objective within an designated Time Limit while utilizing special abilities/equipment that can be used to your advantage as you try to outwit, intimidate and fight back the opposing faction. You can set the difficulty between "Too Easy", "Challenging", and "Lawless" to set enemy AI response times. I personally Recommend "Challenging" as the AI puts up quite a the challenge indeed. Also in story mode your actions on either side you choose will be rated and judged according to public opinion. If protestors resort to violence while the Police remain non-aggressive then Police will gain an advantage in the next mission if the public opinion favors their behavior and vice versa if police respond with violence against a peaceful protest, so it's up to the player to determine when it's appropriate to use force and keep their faction from getting out of control as both sides agitate each other in a literal fight for ground control and public opinion. Co-op and multi-player functions are restricted to local only at the moment so I'm unable to review these modes. Whether it's planned to have online support in the future, I'm unsure. The game has a few minor glitches and bugs as per usual with early access games as well as a few performance issues that eat up your CPU and memory usage, but aside from that, the game is fairly decent and I look forward to future updates.
I gave this game an Average rating because the gameplay is nice. Unfortunately this game doesn't have widescreen support and there are no known fixes for it.
Unfortunately I'm forced to give this game a poor rating because the game doesn't support wide screen resolution. the maximum resolution is 1024x768, and there are no known fixes for this issue. I'm sure the gameplay is fine, but because of the poor resolution I'm unable to play this game and enjoy it.
