Rebel Cops
Rebel Cops is a spin-off game from This Is the Police, which exclusively focuses on the series' turned-based tactical operations. Lead a ragtag squad of cops in rebellion against their town's new criminal power to see how long you can hold out when you're constantly short on supplies and a single shot can cost a cop their life. ou’re not exactly the police, but you're the only ones on the side of justice Viktor Zuev, a sadistic crime boss new on the scene, has quickly taken the town of Ripton by the throat. The community's leaders and local police have surrendered to his will. A master of intimidation and blackmail, Zuev has seized every major business in town, all of which he now controls as his own private fiefdom. An outlaw band of renegade cops refuses to bow, however. With little hope of success, they fight on — for justice, and the soul of their town.

Really cool concept and gameplay, just wish the story was better.

Honestly a lot better than i expected it to be, it seems very simple with the tutorial but the maps and tactics expand a lot. Wrong decisions can backfire immediately and smart planning can get you far.

If you like strategy games like Xcom this is just the game for you, all the ways you can deal with one mission makes you really think of the ways you can tackle one problem due to the tools you have, the skills you have and how long you are willing to take to do it.
Overall it is a great game, the only thing I didn't like was that the farm mission which is massive is dropped onto you so early when your team is really ready to deal with it.

Turn based strategy game. Some of the stealth missions (Like the Estate Mission) feel a bit drawn out, but overall I like the pace of the game

Not a best tactical game. Delivered some pleasure, was good as time-filler for a few boring evenings. Honest 6 out of 10. Something between "Well, it's ok" and "Oh, it's actually good."
And yes, get prepared for LONG turn-based levels. Which part is longest? The one, where your cop brings a box for 5+ turns and you got nothing else to do with someone else.

Like the two other games in this franchise, the aesthetics is mesmerizing. Gameplay is fun but janky. I learned way too late that you can speed things up by pressing the V key.

Like X-Com, but not.
Isometric map, turn based, 2 or 3 moves per person per turn, shoot/capture enemies and such. But where X-Com is a game of tension and pace (and has the research side), this is more like playing chess. The way enemies can only see what is in front of them means you can creep up and behind and around them, so it's more about careful planning and stealth. That doesn't make it better or worse, just different enough that if you see this and think I like X-Com I'll like this then there may be more to it.
Personally I really enjoyed this. I wish there was more to it, more missions of varying sizes, more types of enemies, more weapons, more skills (and the need to specialise rather than all your cops ending up with all the skills). Maybe one day we'll get a sequel. I hope so.
