Hello officers!
The wait is almost over! Even though there is still some work to be done like game balancing, localization and bug fixing, we can clearly see the finish line as the game nears its September 19th release date.
Police Stories will come to Steam and Nintendo Switch first, and then, later this Fall, to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, since we want to make sure that the players on each platform are getting the best experience.
It took us nearly 4 years to finish Police Stories, and during this time nearly every aspect of the game was tweaked or reworked. Previously called Pixel Police, the game came a long way to becoming what it is today. Since the Greenlight Page for the proto-police is still up, you can take a look at the project and see the progress yourself!
Lets take a look at the features which werent even planned in the beginning, but will be an essential part of Police Stories:
1) Narrative
At first we wanted to simply add more personality to the main characters. However, later we realized that an actual plot will add much more value to the game. And so weve put together a narrative for Police Stories, which gives context to the missions the player experiences.
2) Online (Steam exclusive) and local Co-op Modes
Having no prior experience of adding co-op functionality this was a hard task on which weve spent about 9 months. Yet the thought of abandoning this idea never crossed our minds. In the end weve successfully added local co-op to the console version of Police Stories, and online to the PC version.
3) Full controller support
This sounds like a basic task, but it turned out to be a lot harder than expected Police Stories features a command wheel which needs the player to be able to point at anything on the screen. -- Even after the games release we will continue working on the game: taking into account your feedback and implementing new features. First up is Custom Mode where players can select any mission and choose the types of the suspects. And after that, as a separate app, were going to release Level Editor which will allow players to create their own maps. Thanks to our backers and fans for sticking with Police Stories through all these years! And thanks to everyone who followed the games development!

🎮 Full Controller Support
- Pixel Police Linux Content [298.24 M]
Inspired by SWAT 4 and gritty police TV shows, Police Stories is a fresh take on top-down shooters with an emphasis on tactics that forces you to make split second decisions. Neutralize criminals, rescue civilians and defuse bombs in Single Player mode or Online Co-op. And remember - shooting first is not an option!
Unforgiving and tense, each mission tells a story of two police operatives - John Rimes and Rick Jones, filled with infiltrating gang hideouts, rescuing hostages, making arrests and other life-threatening situations.
- The Surrender System allows you to apprehend the suspects without resorting to violence. Fire a warning shot near them or engage them in melee combat - those are just some of the ways you can make them submit.
- Issue commands to your fellow cop Rick Jones. Make sure to use him wisely - and who knows, he might save your life in return.
- Randomly placed criminals, hostages and evidence make every level run unique. The placement changes every time you restart, leading to new interesting situations and opportunities.
- As a law enforcement officer, you will have access to end-of-the-line police equipment, such as under-the-door cameras, door blast charges and many others.
- Various types of lawbreakers, from small petty criminals to well organised gangs and terrorists. Each type has not only unique weapons, but different behaviour and shooting skill.
- Complex Tactical Gameplay: Try not to get spotted, don't waste bullets, regularly check your surroundings and make sure to take criminals down quietly.
- All your actions are scored in real time. Playing aggressively won't get you a high enough result to start the next mission - so keep that in mind!
- Co-op. Complete mission together for better scores and more fun!
