“The modern world is full of unrest, and practically every day brings news of protests erupting in various parts of the world. Sometimes these activities are spontaneous, other times they involve organized and trained individuals. In all cases, however, they pose a considerable challenge for the police and other governmental forces, which we intend to realistically depict in the game. When developing Riot Control Simulator, we put a lot of emphasis on details, so that the player can accurately experience the situation from the perspective of law enforcement services” – said Tomasz Supeł, CEO at Games Box S.A.
Players will be given a wide range of possibilities and various equipment to use, including e.g. heavy vehicles, water cannons, and even tanks.
The methods of handling the crowd are also supposed to be varied – ranging from attempts to amicably suppress the protest to brutal and ruthless pacification. The creators emphasize that, for example, when using tight formation players will be able to catch the most aggressive protesters, but more non-standard solutions will also be available, including ones based on provocation and infiltration.
