Co-op 2D SWAT Shooter Door Kickers: Action Squad Leaves Early Access

PixelShard and KillHouse Games have launched the full release of Door Kickers: Action Squad.

The cooperative 2D shooter has left Steam Early Access, and is now available for Windows PC (via Steam) for $13.99. Featured above, you can view the release trailer for the game.

Action Squad is a spin-off of KillHouse Games’ top-down real-time tactics game Door Kickers from 2014. While the original title was a fairly hardcore squad tactics game where players controlled SWAT teams in a variety of deadly scenarios, Door Kickers has taken a much lighter approach.


Action Squad still promises challenging shootouts with terrorists and criminals, but from a 2D perspective and with a tone that emphasizes comedic violence. Co-op is the main focus of the game, though it can be played solo as well. You can view the latest trailer above.

Here’s a rundown of the game:


Door Kickers: Action Squad is a crazy old school side-scroller action game that puts you in the role of a SWAT trooper and sends you to deal with the bad guys in Nowhere City USA.

Choose your gear, then kick the doors down and face the action. Adapt and react by the seat of your pants, and if needed – restart without a care and rethink. Master weapons recoil and time your reloads, use distance and cover to your advantage and use the in-game Strategic Abilities to decide for yourself when healthpacks or gear refills are needed, or if that team-mate of yours is worth saving. Or just save up the Points earned and unleash your Ultimate to waltz through that tricky final room.

And when it gets too hard, bring over a friend to help.

Key Features:

  • High detail retro graphics
  • 5 playable characters, each with unique gameplay and level up options
  • Unique in-game Strategic Abilities system
  • 60 non linear levels to complete
