KillHouse Games announced today that Door Kickers 2: Task Force North is now available worldwide in Steam Early Access, bringing players the best portrayal of modern Close Quarters Tactics in a video game.
Door Kickers 2: Task Force North, the sequel to the best tactics games of 2014, is a top down strategy and tactics game about controlling Military Special Operation Soldiers in daring raids to capture or eliminate terrorists and dismantle a fictional terrorist network.
Building upon the gameplay formula established with the original release, the game ups the challenge with suicide bombers, RPG-toting insurgents and smarter and more believable bad guys. But up goes the player capability too, thanks to the new engine built in-house – walls can be breached to come in from unexpected directions, windows can be broken and climbed. Light machine guns will suppress the enemy while grenade launchers and Designated Marksmen provide pin-point firepower where needed.
The game currently offers handcrafted Single Missions that can be played alone or in 2-4 players co-op multiplayer, with more gameplay options to be added as development progresses.
Playing the game involves examining a high detail location blueprint and threat report, plotting the movement and action plan for each soldier at your command and supervising the execution of the plan in real time with full control to pause and change or add orders.
We are really excited to finally put the game in front of the public. Door Kickers has a great and dedicated fanbase and they have patiently (mostly) and enthusiastically (all) waited for the sequel to come out. The core of the tactics engine is there for Early Access with the US Rangers playable unit, and with player feedback and input considered we’ll start adding the more exotic gameplay elements that we have planned. and the said Dan Dimitrescu, Door Kickers’s Game Designer and Co-Founder of Killhouse Games
