You might need missed this when it got here out the opposite week, however Trend Police Squad is a delightfully colourful little area shooter from the indie devs at Mopeful Video games. In it you are Sergeant Des, and with stitching machine gun in hand you are charged with uncovering a conspiracy of vogue crimes.
It would seem like a goofy joke, but it surely had so many optimistic critiques that I needed to strive it: and beneath the modern exterior I discovered a fairly dang good recreation that stays humorous, besides. For those who, like me, wrote this one off on look alone then you definitely’re lifeless unsuitable.
The center of Trend Police Squad is the necessity to swap between weapons. Your 2DYE4 is a shotgun that paints on shiny colours and drains overly-colorful outfits with a beam to supercharge, whereas the Tailormade stitching machine is an assault rifle that is extra-effective in opposition to ill-fitting and saggy garments.
You match up weapon to enemy sort on the fly, coping with essentially the most harmful first and dealing your manner down. Like the perfect Area shooters essentially the most harmful areas are virtually a puzzle of talent and pace the place figuring out threats and figuring out find out how to resolve them is essential. Trend Police Squad’s neat motion mechanics line up with that.
You try this together with your belt. By grappling the belt to objects on the earth round you, like flagpoles, your officer can swing to quickly transfer from place to position. This allows you to take care of nasty foes and evade vicious assaults like exploding briefcases or speedy melee enemies. (Bros in neon on scooters.) There’s one thing nice about swinging previous a nasty enemy as you blast them together with your drip-flamethrower-thing.
It additionally has glory kills of a kind, as a result of a charged up particular meter helps you to elevate the shining glove of favor and fly throughout large areas slapping some ever-loving vogue sense into vogue criminals.
Does the joke keep humorous? I have not completed it, however the entertaining shiny colours and power of Trend Police Squad (FPS) are in reality a welcome break from the muted tones utilized in most retro-style shooters. (No matter we’re calling these.)
You’ll find Trend Police Squad on Steam for $20, at 10% off till August twenty second.
