Simply put, Door Kickers is a wonderful exercise in bloody minded fun that brings out the inner SWAT leader in all of us.

A very addictive and hugely enjoyable game with heaps of replayability thanks to the level generator and level builder.

A tactical gem that’s designed almost like a puzzle game. [March 2015]

At full price, I don't find Doorkickers to be all that outstanding. Yet you can buy it for a couple of bucks when it's on a deep sale and get literally hundreds of missions, community-made maps, and even your own level editor, all packaged into a top-down strategy SWAT game where you can either pre-plan every move your SWAT team makes or painstakingly move every individual member by yourself. And while I don't think there is enough gameplay diversity or depth to keep me invested for more than about half a dozen / a dozen hours, I'd still recommend spending a couple of bucks and trying it out if it looks like a game you might enjoy.

If you're an old f*rt like me and ever wished the old Rainbow Six planning mode was a full game, hit that subscribe button. Err, I mean the buy button. Really, it's that good.

Door Kickers is perfect lunch-break entertainment, and it’s immensely addictive.

Door Kickers is a difficult, rewarding puzzler so obsessed with its tactical ideas that it rejects all else—which is probably for the best anyway.

A challenging game full of tactical puzzles and some really engaging mechanics. [Dec 2014, p.62]

There are plenty of missing features that may or may not be coming at a later date, but take it for what it is for the time being – a flawed experience, but one that's hugely rewarding when everything goes just right.

Excellent tactical game that suffers from occasional megalomania and also a lack of testing. Moments when everything works as it should are a true balm for every strategist's soul.

great tactical game. there are just enough options for your SWAT member's movement and actions. it doesn't make you feel uncontrolable, nor does it make you feel to complicated

Door Kickers is tactical combat-focused RTS. Approachable, challenging and fun. Sometimes absolutely infuriating due to RNG, unreasonably huge maps and controls, designed for a touchscreen.

A competent, top-down, tactical RTS game where you get to plan and execute counter-terrorist operations. The game can be frustrating at times especially as you progress to more difficult levels later on, so long-term enjoyment of the game depends on whether you're a guru at tactics games or whether you're just really persistent.

This is a mobile phone game, so expect nothing more. Unless you have a crap PC there is no reason why you should waste your time on it. Playing this on a train from Bristol to London wouldn't make me feel bad. But playing this on a PC at home, makes me feel like I am wasting my time as there is million better games out there. It's neither amazing when it comes to tactics, or graphics, or controls, or anything else for that matters. Basically it's amazing as a tactical mobile game and amazing as indie tactical PC game.

Sorry I am not impressed. The AI is really flunky. Flash-bang/Breaching charges get ignored. Highly trained swat/insertion teams get crushed by street thugs. Having a fully trained officer with weapons at the ready and the element of surprise gets gunned down 8 times out of 10. I am sorry NOT impressed at all. If you really want this game wait till it's fully released but as of right now it failed to live up to expectations
