What players say
Literally the police in any LATAM country - love how you don't need a plot or anything, just go straight in and shoot the hell out of them. 100/10 I live in LATAM btw so I can joke about how inefficient and sometimes brutally they are.

Been blasting through this on my steam deck. Killing Grannies doesnt stop you from getting 3 stars btw
I had a lot of fun playing the game even solo. Great setting and atmosphere! The combat can get a bit chaotic at times, but I really like that kind of vibe :) There's also a good amount of variety in how you can approach the levels.
