Door Kickers
How does the planning phase work in Door Kickers?
Before each mission, you get a top-down map where you draw movement paths for each SWAT officer, set their facing direction, and decide when to breach doors or use tools like flashbangs. You then hit play to watch the plan unfold in real time, and you can pause anytime to adjust orders on the fly.
Can I customize my squad's weapons and equipment in Door Kickers?
Yes, you can customize your squad with different classes like a breacher with a shotgun or a sniper, and equip them with various weapons and gadgets. This allows you to tailor your team to the mission's layout and enemy types.
What should I do if my officers keep running into walls or getting flanked?
If you accidentally tap the wrong spot causing an officer to run into a wall, simply pause the game and redraw their path. To avoid getting flanked, plan your routes carefully and use the pause feature to reassess enemy positions—the AI will punish sloppy tactics.
How can I replay a failed mission to get a perfect score?
After failing a mission, you can immediately restart it from the mission select screen with a fresh plan. Use what you learned about enemy positions and room layouts to refine your paths and tool usage—redoing a failed mission with a better strategy is very rewarding.
How does Door Kickers compare to other mobile strategy games like XCOM or Frozen Synapse?
Unlike many mobile strategy games that rely on freemium models or constant updates, Door Kickers is a one-time purchase with no ads and no multiplayer, offering a complete tactical experience. It focuses on real-time planning and execution with a SWAT team, similar to Frozen Synapse's planning phase but more accessible, and it's deeper than most mobile strategy games while being playable offline.
