60 of 169 · most liked firstso the reviews are mixed, dont let that turn you away, this is actually a decent game, and im thoroughly enjoying it, and you know what, people are idiots, games like Shower with your dad are overwhelmingly positive and this is just mixed, it kind of says alot. seriously its a decent game and its under $20, if youre into the emergency services get it, you will enjoy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A interesting Concept towards managing police but sadly the execution is rather bumpy and buggy. The game allows you to control a police force, buying and upgrading units and the facilities to deal with the daily random issues, from riots to murders. The big issues I had with this game that puts it in the hard to recommend is the following: 1. A.I - I found many times that the A.i were extremely buggy such as when tasking a unit to arrest someone they would sometimes just simply stand in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It starts out great at the start but the more you progress the more it demands out of you which yes is realistic and I like that, but when the UI is difficult to navigate and you spend 5+ minutes just trying to find officers and cars on the map it becomes tiresome and annoying. Officers do not go back to the predefined patrol that you want them to after you dispatch them to a crime scene and there are general bug issues. So if you forget where your officers were on the last callout, you can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've enjoyed the Police Simuatlors from this company prior to this. While the UI can be painful for the past versions (and this), this game is EXTREMELY enjoyable. I get distracted from games very easy, but this games progression, and unit management has been a delight to play. The depth is there, and I'm addicted. I keep seeing people leave reviews that only had .5 hours or 1.5 hours of play time... Can you REALLY determine if a game is good in 30 minutes? Sure if might have performance…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a pretty decent Police game. Although you gotta be quick with your investigators otherwise it's gonna be a hell finding the crooks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not a person that writes a lot of reviews but I wanted to make an exception for Police Tactics: Imperio. I see that thee is a lot of negative reviews about the UI being clunky or the interface not being well fleshed out etc. but honestly it isn't that bad. For those that played the emergency series, the UI is very similar and understanding what's what doesn't take long. It's not a game for everybody, if you like simulations, and want to play a police strategy/simulation game (and if I am…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is good and is totally playable without the pause button despite what other people here seems to think. I'm not a sim game veteran, acually this is the first emergency sim I have ever played. There is always enough time to finish whatever you are doing befor responding to a call. There is a timer on each call that ticks down untill you fail to respond to the call and that timer is not 10 seconds, A quick advise is to not panic eaverytime you get a call but to take your time. And…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, I really do. I love how you have to work to be on top of the crime rate, as in you have to make sure you're covering all areas with a patrol unit. One thing I'd love to see is a dedicated Sandbox, so I don't get prompted once in a while by the Inspector in the tutorial but I'm sure you don't have to do all the story missions but you'll get more out of playing them! If you want a really decent management game, get this one. It's really good and I'm sure updates will come out…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. However i felt that things happened too rapidly with little time to actually manage my department. Instead of having units on patrols i was constantly sending them back to HQ. Then deploying them individually to each event. The few units i did have on patrol would stay there and would never respond to any calls. The game felt like it could be fun but it was just a bit too fast paced for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Police Tactics: Imperio is a failed attempt to make some casual strategy, promoting the player to the role of the chief of some random police station. On the terms level, the game's ok. There's some basic economics, going the usual 'calmer the district, better the funding', some base and staff development, and the game pace is supposed to be 'balanced', making the player involved in what is happening around, but not too overwhelmed. There is even some story pack of missions to follow! Alas,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game needs a lot of work done before it is playable. When playing tha game, the most annoying bug would be that my units often got stuck. When planning in strategic view, the buildings would not display the color indicating if it was a safe neighbourhood or not. When playing the game for 55 minutes, and already seeing theese bugs and more, I decided to ask for a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like emergency sim games this will be for you. Creators really responsive to customers. Within a short period of time included the pause button and dealt with bugs. Hoping to see continued developement on this version and future games. This is a great sim and improvement over previous police/crime sims.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh, the game is good, but, it reminds me of Emergency 4 & Rescue Everyday Heroes. I honestly just don't enjoy the game in some way. It doesn't catch up, like other games do. I do think the game looks fine & all, but, it a bit overprized, not worth 17€/20€. Only 2 game speeds, no sandbox, and you can not disable the tutorials. And there are some FPS drops, but not many. Overall, it's a great looking game, but not worth the price just yet.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gets repetitive real fast. Not much content, lack of detail and poor UI. And most of all, i cant stand the micro management of the officers and detectives. Why do i have to tell the detective to talk to each of the 4 eye witnesses every time. I think they should know how to do their job. All i want is to coordinate the force around town where they are most needed and watch them work and/or send backup if needed. Not tell them to do every menial task.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could have been so great... Ruined by so many small and mayor glitches that break the game completely. AI doens't route properly, and certain game critical missions are not possible to complete. After en hour, and good progress, I was not able to proceed becuase the mission was bugged. Seriously broken game, please don't buy. So disappointed, and even bought in a sale for a good price. If a car gets stuck on the map, which it will, tough luck. You can't sell it because it is not back at base.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. But it falls short. It should still be in development and released as "Early Access" so the developer can get some funds and time to make it more polished. 1. UI is very small if you play in 1440p. While the category management is fine, the section itself isn't designed very well. 2. Animation stutters at times - such as the police units driving around, or when you zoom in. I'm on SLI 980ti. 3. It feels more like an RTS than a simulation.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I kind of like this game very much. The micro management part is very nice and the game will allow me to spend many hours managing my police force. After few hours in the game, i like the visuals, even though they are not like on AAA titles. But they are well looking and fit well into the game world. I experienced some minor flaws but the game ran well and did not crash or showed bad fps until now. I think the game is fun and i would rebuy it after my current progress. If this opinion changes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very buggy. Horrible FPS on my high end computer. There's no pause, which is really a pain in the butt. You have to micromanage EVERYTHING as far as I can tell. It really seems like it would be fun if it wasn't for all of those issues. Hopefully the developers will fix it, but as of right now I'm debating on a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If this was in early access I'd say go for the buy, but alas it isn't and is considered "fully released" and appears to not have been updated since 2017. So on that topic, there are plenty of bugs where units seem to get stuck and won't move which requires you to find them and then tell them to do a different task then back to the original so they "play as intended". There were also instances where my units had +# compared to the difficulty of a task and they would still get their ass kicked,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In Police Tactics: Imperio, you start your career as an ambitious police chief in a big city that is dirty and corrupt to the core. It is your job to guarantee public safety and maintain order. Coordinate squad cars and police forces for the city police department and put an end to the crime wave. Police Tactics: Imperio is a real-time strategy title where you must coordinate a range of different police units to uphold the law. As you progress you will encounter new units, upgrade and create…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dont see why people are complaining. I cant give a full review currenty due to me being on a non gaming laptop but I will update this review on the 10th!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far i find this game to be good. Yes there are some places that can be improved upon, but for what it is its good. The patrols are neat to play around with. Will update this review as i get further along.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a decent game for under 20 currency units. I'll try to get what I think is the good and the bad seperated in points. And I also warn that I haven't played more than a couple of hours into the game. Maybe I'll update this later when I have played more. I really like the patrol system, send your cops in their cars through the bad neighborhoods, watch a crime pop up, and watch the cops try to stop the crime. Watch them get hurt when things go bad. And end up being somewhat understaffed when…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some serious flaws, but overall an enjoyable experience
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unoptimized if my PC can run ARMA3 on ultra high with an FPS more than 30 then my pc should be able to have a solid 30FPS. Seem like it would be fun but when im getting FPS as low as 5 and a steady 15 to 20 its an eye sore. Cant recomment till a later date when the game is more optimized. Edit: After help from a Dev i was ablt to fix my optimization problem. This game is like a police simulator that has heavy RTS elements which is a nice mix. The only problems i hav with the game at the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*** Edit: After talking with one of the game developers a bit (via comment) I think that some of the balancing issues may be tweaked and fixed as the game is updated and patched. I think that the game has a solid enough foundation, it just needs to be fleshed out a bit more in some areas. If the developer makes another game like this in the future it will be interesting to see where they go with it and what they change. This game is pretty frustrating, many times the storyline will throw…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good time filler. As a super fan of police type games, I had to check this out, and whilst it's not the most advanced sim out there, it ticks a few boxes and fills the time nicely. Summary: It's a rather shallow police sim that will scratch an itch and keep you amused for a while.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a great idea. is fun and it got alot police stuff from vehicles to swat team ect. one of the things i like is you can set your pace. you choose when to advance to next step by selecting missions. i think alot of people rush to the next available mission without leveling the officers first. there some annoying bugs like trying to load officers in a car and the first guy in takes off to the border in the car. also some CSI circles are not placed properly the CSI car drives on top of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not ready to be sold for 20 euros, dont think i would pay 5 for it. So many bugs, that made the game completly useless. Fun conscept yes, but a fun game? No. Also it became too messy too quick.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I've only played this for about 4 hours. Good game overall yeah things start to get start become the same if you don't advance in the storyline. I haven't had problems running the game at all just as so many others have said the UI was a little bit nicer. Would be nice to zoom in to make patrols and have cars resume patrol if you send them some where. But other then those small problems quite enjoying it. The missions/story scale based on what levels you end up with. Would be nice if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having played a few hours of Police Tactics Imperio today I have some positives and a few negatives to report. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjPGbbG3MyQ – gameplay series Firstly the idea of the game is a great one, managing your own police force is something I love the idea of. It’s also something This is the police managed really well whilst also having an excellent compelling storyline. Police Tactics doesn’t quite get to that level certainly not in the early stages. Although there is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very buggy, it never gets updated so if your thinking of buying don't!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs have not put their finger on this game since match 2017 ... and the few patches that had arrived did not fix alot!! Stay away from this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well I have just got this game and have ignored the bad feedback. I you can check my specs on my profile so I don't have the latest pc I build my own so upgrade when needed. But I have found no issues at all running this game its been very stable for me. I run on max and it looks lovely. The learning curve is not too bad and I do love sims and was looking for a good police one. I have 911 and a few others but needed something more a living city. And for me this game delivers. I love the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun game that provides simple features not seen in other Police Simulation Games, does have a few bugs but does not detract from the game experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game enjoyed the time I have played may need a bit more work on finding suspects with roadblocks and beef up the swat and crowd control unites they seem a little weak at the moment
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Police Tactics: Imprerio requires more polishing and enhancements. The current state of cases becomes repetitive after some time. I believe it will grow to a awesome product if the dev collect from consumer feedback how to improve.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very underrated game. This is basically Emergency 4 but if it was just the law enforcement side of things. 10/10 for the effort and game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a great concept, but that is about the end of it. The graphics are substandard, the game is very buggy at best, play is far to simple and does not live up to the advertisements. If I did not know any better, I would have thought this was an early access game, which the developers should probably go back and start again...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cheap and nice game. Perfec for some boring hours. The only negative thing i have is, that it gets pretty hard to control your Units the more Districts you have.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good game if you like sim/management or RTS like games. It's quite complicated to begin with, but it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. I can imagine it becomes very hectic when you're trying to manage many districts at once. Good sound. Nice visuals. The camera can be annoying - would be nice to zoom out even further, sometimes it can be a bit hard to locate units. Overall recommended to fans of RTS or management games!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never really do these but I feel that I need to. This game is just bad, its really hard to understand, and I could'nt find a way to select units without having to go to them, this coupled with the fact that you can't pause the game to take stock and manage things properly just makes this game hard and confusing. This game has a good concept, but the execution is just poor.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the UI can be clunky at times and would be helped by the inclusion of some comfort features, the game overall is fun and engaging, rewarding strategic planning and cool-headedness. There are a few things I'd like to see added, most notably tactical pause and a free mode, but the devs are actively engaged in discussions on the Steam forum and very responsive. If they continue that way, the game can have a bright future. In any case, what's here is definitely a bit rough around the edges at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted my "Blue Bloods: The Video Game" fix. This looked promising. The tutorials were banal but I kept going. Then crash, crash, crash, and by the way just for something different, no crash (but really, a crash). I didn't touch the game since I got it because I thought "Okay I'll give them some time to pick up the pieces and make something workable." NOPE! XD Flaming farts and fellatio. I really wanted a game like this but nobody else wants games where you're the good guy. "This is the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a repetitive buggy game. It has potential only the bugs that are still in the game and the repetitive character of the missions makes the game boring.. Tried the game again after a couple of updates, but no major changes or improvements. I would say spend your money and time elsewhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very buggy, wasn't pleased with the game. If I had my time back, I would've requested a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Police tactics is a very repetitive game there is like 20 crimes and they just keep getting rotated through out the world. Also the game gets boring and easy fast. There is still lots of bugs and I don't see to many updates anymore that really add content and make the map look better because it looks terrible. So I have to give this game a thumbs down red symbol.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i would recommed getting this game it is alot of fun if you ask me ive never get bored from this game so get now its work it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is interesting and definitely playable - however, the small things start getting to you. Police do not dispatch themselves even when they are in the patrol area. I had several crime happen behind my units and they just drove on. There are also glitches where the units get stuck, can't be slected, and so on. Lastly, the units drive like madmen. The downside with this game is it's super repetitive. There isn't any select all function and so on. If you like micromanagement,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GREAT GAME i love this game i would not sell this game for the world
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have you ever played Police Simulator or any of the Emergency games? If so, I think you will love this game. The graphics are not perfect but they far out do the 2D Police simulator games :P. I really like the way you have to work for further police cars and new areas. You can take it at your own speed doing the missions when it suits you. Even the crimes that happen get more severe as you play so you dont feel like you are dealing with the same crimes all the time. And now the pause button…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didn't play too much yet, but my first impressions were pretty decent. You start off with pretty much nothing and have to stop ongoing crimes or investigate crime scenes. There is also an ongoing story as you play. As you do this your Officers will gain XP and you can level them to be more suited for certain situations (like Investigating, Tactical Thinking etc...). You will also get money for every crime you solve, which you can invest in better equipment, more officers, more cars and so on.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played Police Simulator 1 back in the days and I must say Cyberphobx did a great job on Police Tactics. It took me a moment to get everything sorted out with the tutorial and the ui but once you solved your first crimes, set up patrol routes and leveled your units you are pretty much hooked and keep on playing. I really hope the dev guys stay with us on Police Tactics - police sim 1 was left alone too soon :(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! Love it so far, does take a while to get going but its worth the wait.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good game. I read all the bad reviews but decided to give it a try, the first few hours I skipped all the tutorials and this is why it seemed buggy as the game events are quite specific. Having played this for many hours today, I'd be happy to recommend it. This games does have a few bugs but they are not as bad as the reviews sounded. This games is perfectly playable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been waiting for a good police simulator/management for awhile now. So as soon as I saw this title, I couldn't resist. I started the game and went through the tutorial which is a good one then started sending my officers to catch bad guys and investigating crime scenes like a super hero. I clicked F9 "which I have as a shortcut to record gameplay" and BAM lost all my progress. It turned out that they have F9 as a shortcut for quick load??!!! What the hell?! The game didn't even autosave…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I personally feel that this game needs a lot more work to become playable. Everything is sorta clunky with how it clicks through stuff and even the tutorial is shoddy. I love police games, but this game just strikes me as something that you should play on a website for free, not pay for. I'll be shooting in a refund request on this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an awesome RTS game , some lighthearted fun :) i reccomend but just remember its an aquired taste
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is one of the best Police games i played ilove how it a modern version of police simulater WITH MUSCH MORE this game i highly recomed if you love police games as much as me
