LA Cops for PC and XONE is an indie shooter developed by Modern Dream and released by Team 17, a studio known from the fan-favourite Worms series. The action takes place in the 1970s in Los Angeles, while the players assume the role of police officers fighting against the criminals that endanger the lives of ordinary citizens.

Mechanics

The gameplay itself is similar to what we could see in Hotline Miami. The action is seen from an isometric perspective, while the characters traverse through various buildings divided into small rooms. The fast-paced action and demanding opponents require adequate tactics, using the destructible environment, as well as efficient elimination of the targeted opponents. As police officers, we need to watch out for civilians, which often are the main objective of the given assignment.

We are left with a few police officers, each motivated by unique means which are learned through numerous cut-scenes. Moreover, the heroes are characterized by different abilities and traits, e.g. a larger number of health points, more ammo capacity, movement speed, or damage dealt. Our characters can utilize a number of weapons (pistols, sub-machine guns, grenade launchers, shotguns, rifles).
