Finished the game and all its achievements in 10 Hours, really short game, but the workshop posibilities make up for it. Really loved the gameplay, slow but fast. Only thing is that the story was predictable and a bit generic, but good nontheles.
this game is amazing!! single player or co-op. it is kinda difficult though. love the game. cant wait til the 2nd one drops

About the game
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 Co-op. And remember - shooting first is not an option!
