How co-op works
Two SWAT officers clear side-scrolling missions locally or online, choosing distinct classes and coordinating room entry, cover, reloads, hostage protection, and bomb disposal. Combat earns Strategic Ability points for health, ammunition, extra lives, support attacks, or each class’s ultimate.

Each mission demands careful positioning, quick reflexes, and constant communication as you clear floors, rescue hostages, and defuse bombs under time pressure. Different SWAT classes bring unique tools and abilities, encouraging players to coordinate loadouts and cover each other during intense firefights. The pixel-art presentation and deliberate pacing make every breach feel tense and tactical.
Both online co-op and local couch co-op are supported, so you can team up from the same room or across the internet. The shared challenge of synchronized entries and split-second decision-making creates sessions that reward coordination and keep you replaying missions to perfect your approach.
