Evaluation
Door Kickers: Action Squad launched out of Early Access on September 10, 2018. At launch, the developers signaled ongoing ambitions — promising more missions, game modes, characters, and a mission editor. The game delivered on some of those promises: a major free update on October 24, 2019 added a new playable character (the Off Duty Guy) and Chapter 7 – The Slums with 12 new levels, and a paid DLC called "Professionals Abroad" shipped on October 25, 2021, adding 12 missions set in a new overseas theater. All three DLC entries in the store are marked as released — the soundtrack (shipped at launch), the art book (April 8, 2020), and Professionals Abroad (October 25, 2021). No unreleased DLC is listed on the store. The last developer communication of any kind was the Professionals Abroad launch post on October 25, 2021 — now nearly five years ago as of June 2026. There have been no further announcements, roadmaps, patches, or developer posts since that date. The two major post-launch content drops occurred roughly two years apart (October 2019 and October 2021), and more than four and a half years have passed since the last one with complete silence from the studio. This pattern strongly indicates the game has reached the end of its content lifecycle. The game is a complete, finished product.

About this game
Door Kickers: Action Squad is a crazy old school side-scroller action game that puts you in the role of a SWAT trooper and sends you to deal with the bad guys in Nowhere City USA.
Choose your gear, then kick the doors down and face the action. Adapt and react by the seat of your pants, and if needed - restart without a care and rethink. Master weapons recoil and time your reloads, use distance and cover to your advantage and use the in-game Strategic Abilities to decide for yourself when healthpacks or gear refills are needed, or if that team-mate of yours is worth saving. Or just save up the Points earned and unleash your Ultimate to waltz through that tricky final room.
And when it gets too hard, bring over a friend to help.
