Our take on Regulators
Players seeking immediate run-and-gun action may bounce off when missions require attention to recruit duties such as placing C4, collecting intelligence, and defusing mines.
What is Regulators?
Regulators is a top-down tactical shooter in which a small team of mercenaries clears a city of villains mutated by an alien substance called the Ooze.
Missions include intelligence gathering, hostage rescue, detonations, and targeted takedowns. Recruits can place C4, collect intelligence, defuse mines, and gain levels as they support the team. The game combines procedurally generated missions with pre-designed interior maps in apartments, hospitals, banks, airfields, and scrapyards. Five playable characters have different super powers and dodge moves, with two available at the start and three unlockable. It also includes two-player split-screen co-op and a level editor.
