Evaluation

Police Stories launched on September 19, 2019 and received two pieces of paid DLC: the Supporter Pack (released at launch on September 19, 2019) and the Zombie Case DLC (released March 26, 2022), which added five new story missions, a zombie enemy type, and new infection mechanics. Both DLC are fully released with no unreleased items remaining on the store. Since the Zombie Case DLC shipped in March 2022, all developer communications on this game's Steam page have shifted entirely to Police Stories 2 — the officially announced sequel. Beginning in June 2025, the developer launched an ongoing devlog series for Police Stories 2 covering new mechanics, precinct management, AI improvements, level design, and equipment systems, with the most recent post on August 21, 2026. None of these posts reference any further content planned for the original Police Stories. The developer has made no announcements of additional content, DLC, or updates for the original game since the Zombie Case release. Police Stories is a complete, finished product as of March 26, 2022, with the studio's active development efforts now focused on its sequel.

About this game

Inspired by SWAT 4 and gritty police TV shows, Police Stories is a fresh take on top-down shooters with an emphasis on tactics that forces you to make split second decisions. Neutralize criminals, rescue civilians and defuse bombs in Single Player mode or Online Co-op. And remember - shooting first is not an option!

Unforgiving and tense, each mission tells a story of two police operatives - John Rimes and Rick Jones, filled with infiltrating gang hideouts, rescuing hostages, making arrests and other life-threatening situations.

  • The Surrender System allows you to apprehend the suspects without resorting to violence. Fire a warning shot near them or engage them in melee combat - those are just some of the ways you can make them submit.

  • Issue commands to your fellow cop Rick Jones. Make sure to use him wisely - and who knows, he might save your life in return.

  • Randomly placed criminals, hostages and evidence make every level run unique. The placement changes every time you restart, leading to new interesting situations and opportunities.

  • As a law enforcement officer, you will have access to end-of-the-line police equipment, such as under-the-door cameras, door blast charges and many others.

  • Various types of lawbreakers, from small petty criminals to well organised gangs and terrorists. Each type has not only unique weapons, but different behaviour and shooting skill.

  • Complex Tactical Gameplay: Try not to get spotted, don't waste bullets, regularly check your surroundings and make sure to take criminals down quietly.

  • All your actions are scored in real time. Playing aggressively won't get you a high enough result to start the next mission - so keep that in mind!

  • Co-op. Complete mission together for better scores and more fun!
