About the game
You lead a small squad of special forces troops through raids on buildings held by enemies, with hostages to rescue along the way. You draw each trooper's route and actions on a top-down map, then press play and watch the plan run in real time. You can pause at any moment to give new orders. Mistakes get your troops killed, so planning matters.
In online co-op, up to four players take on the same mission, and each one brings a squad. You win or lose together, so you agree on routes and timing. Co-op is for single missions, including random ones and maps from the Workshop. The host picks the map.
It suits friends who like to plan a raid before they run it. Failed raids are part of the game, and you can try again with a better plan.
