Tactical squad-shooter Door Kickers 2 is out now on PC

Indie studio KillHouse Games stealthily launched Door Kickers 2: Task Force North. The tactical-shooter is now available on Steam Early Access. Enjoy the launch trailer here!

The first Door Kickers became an instant classic back in 2014. It offered the high-risk action of a SWAT team from a novel top-down view. It included both fast combat yet deep strategical and tactical options. The mixture of genres that each are popular on its own proved a perfect match together.

In essence, the experience is a combination of Rainbow Six Siege’s gripping and brutal action plus the strategic micro-planning of the first Rainbow Six’s planning phase.

Door Kickers 2: Task Force North takes the formula to an even more thrilling military setting. This time, players assume control over an elite Special Ops team. Your adversaries are a proper terrorist network in the Middle East. So, the stakes have never been higher.

You can either go in as a lone wolf or tackle the challenging missions in online co-op of up to 4 players. Destructible environments, real-time combat with the option to pause to plan your next move, and tons of player choice are the highlights here.

The ‘please’ probably did it

The surprise launch of Door Kicker 2 has quite the hilarious backstory. After several delays, a fan who ran out of patience simply demanded the game to be released on the Steam forums. What is usually disregarded by developers actually prompted a response from the developer.

Looks like there really is no end to game development, only a moment when you are confident enough. The hilarious launch proved to be a wise decision, as Door Kickers 2: Task Force North currently sits a massively 95% Positive User Review score on Steam. I guess, sometime even developers only need a little push.
