Rebel Cops

Rebel Cops is a spin-off of This Is the Police focused on turn-based tactical operations. You lead a squad of renegade cops resisting Viktor Zuev, a crime boss who has taken control of Ripton after the town’s leaders and police surrendered to him. Your outnumbered squad fights to restore justice while short on supplies, and a single shot can kill a cop.

Tactics and combat

You wage a guerrilla war against enemies who outnumber and outgun you. Use cover and concealment to approach quietly and take opponents down before they raise the alarm. You can unlock tactical perks by upgrading your rebels, and use an arsenal of non-lethal weapons and equipment. When violence is unavoidable, remember that neither cops nor criminals have health bars: a gunshot causes rapid bleeding, while a headshot kills instantly.

Operations and exploration

Operations include compact areas where you fight for every inch of ground, as well as large, open sandbox levels. Search rooms, crack safes and vaults, find ways into inaccessible areas and collect anything useful. You can stay together and move cautiously, or spread out to search more thoroughly at greater risk.

Choices and reputation

You decide whether to meet Zuev’s cruelty on his own terms, help desperate townspeople even when doing so puts the operation at risk, and spare civilian guards who are only doing their jobs. Reputation matters more than money: violence in the streets can damage your standing, leading merchants to refuse business and some members of your squad to turn against you.
