Zero Hour

Jarhead0331 · February 14, 2021, 09:04:33 PM

So this little indie game out of Bangladesh of all places is supposedly pretty damn good and it is being hailed as the closest thing to SWAT 4 since...SWAT 4. Its still under development, but making strong progress. It is presently on sale at 40% off for a total of $7.19. Anybody have any interest in picking up to play?

It has co-op squads against the enemy AI with strong pre-mission planning options and it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

So...any takers?

Woah. At $7 I can't say no to a SWAT successor. I'll take one for the team

Nice...I don't think I have you on steam. What's your name?

Same as on here, without the underscore. ~~I think I added a URL to the Steam users thread.~~ Shoot me an invite.

Holy shitballs. What game engine are they using?

I'm in.

Cooool. We need one more for a complete GH squad.

I bought in, but winter weather around here could easily nix playing time at any time until next week. :pullhair:

In other words, I think it's a good idea to have seven or eight GHs for the squad, to adjust for availability. O:-)

More is always better...but this initial elite team of GH super tier 1 operatives is very promising.

The enemy AI seems fairly janky at the moment, but this has a ton of potential and I love the basic mechanics. Anybody tried PVP yet?

The game is tough as balls in solo and definitely brings back that strong SWAT 4 nostalgia.

Holy crap, the MAC-10 clone is a LOT of fun. Spraying people down is so goddang satisfying.

God damn these missions are hard!

I finally cracked the first one. A buddy and I played last night and it gave me a few ideas. Solo'd it this morning and was able to beat the first level. 90/100 final score. I lost 10 points for excessive use of force. I question the penalties. It was proportional, damn it! God damned liberal media....

I definitely need to finish the tutorials!

Out of curiosity, did you shut off the breaker, or find that it hindered more than helped?
