Hot Brass

Super underrated game, not enough reviews and I'm shocked they're not more positive. This game is honestly incredible, with an insane amount of thought put into so many details. I've beaten the whole game with friends and we had a blast. I highly recommend.

Door Kickers, but you are the Operator...
This is what I always wanted.
Found this gem on accident and it instantly turned into one of my favorite games.
Especially the sound design is what struck me while playing Hot Brass and the movement mechanics are diverse and well executed.
Seeing that the game got its last update in 2021 made me a bit sad, but I hope it will inspire more games like this!
Needless to say, I ragequit more than ever before.
Hot Brass is really hot stuff!
I give it 11/10 handcuffs

A cautious recommendation.
The idea is good and the execution doesn't lack much but there's a key issue in that the most engaging this game was is after already beating it.
Having ranged non lethal options really takes advantage of the strongest part of the game, the middle ground of aggression with restraint. A lot of levels felt like that simply wasn't a realistic option when all you had was a hand taser, with the ranged options it becomes possible and at least in my opinion, a lot more fun than when you had the lethal weapons. It changed the dynamic in how to handle situations and what approaches to take for the better, both a lot less one note and a lot more consistent.
It's a good game, but you have to beat it in a way that seems both less interesting and more frustrating. The myriad ways you'll end up losing a whole level of progress to lethal force is magnitudes higher than without it. Some might say well that's the appeal, and to you I say enjoy replaying levels 6-8 times when you shot someone off-screen, or you can't quite tell if someone turned orange or red and you don't have the armor to wait and see which, or you did everything right but the surrender RNG gave you a few too many people willingly giving up, so you lost the time trial. In my eyes non-lethal, though often easier, is more fun and ultimately more fitting for the theme. Doing the no kill runs was by far the smoothest and most engaging part of the game for me.

A lot more fun than I though it would be, I got it in a random humble bundle monthly deal at some point and finally played it when a friend was visiting, really quite fun in co-op, a bit silly that one of the best strategies is to just rush into a room yelling at people repeatedly to get down and getting into their face, tazing them, then going to the next and doing the same though, but was fun.

It's a really simple game that just feels really good to play. It's basically a top down version of swat 4 except with extra objectives and more environmental mechanics. You can do stuff like turning off the power or blowing up walls. Get this with a few friends and go for 100% completion

Quite short, little buggy and doesn't quite hit the mark with all of the gadgets. But it's inexpensive and fun so 6,5/10

Great but simple game that runs on most any hardware. Have been having great fun with it playing local Co-Op with my kids.
