  • A party of several characters
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Action-packed real-time combat

A tactical first-person shooter where you lead a LAPD SWAT team, issuing orders while clearing buildings and resolving hostage situations. Careful planning and restraint matter more than fast shooting.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear

Linear, curated structure

A realistic tactical first-person shooter where you plan teams and loadouts before each mission and coordinate precise counter-terrorism raids. One or two hits can kill, so careful planning matters more than speed.

Takedown: Red Sabre

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tactical first-person shooter about close-quarters special-forces raids where careful pacing and planning beat reckless rushing. Very few hits are lethal, so every room demands caution.

SWAT 4

Linear, curated structure

A tactical first-person shooter where you lead a SWAT team through raids and aim to arrest suspects non-lethally. Strict rules of engagement, squad commands and careful planning matter more than raw shooting skill.

Thunder Tier One

Gameplay comes before story

A top-down tactical shooter where you plan and carry out special-operations missions around the world with period-accurate late 80s/early 90s gear. Careful planning and teamwork, ideally in co-op, are key to success.

Archon

Gameplay comes before story

Archon blends a chess-like board game with real-time arena duels: attacking a square means the pieces fight it out directly in an action arena. This mix of strategy and reflexes made the 1983 game an early classic.

Cortex Command

Gameplay comes before story

A 2D blend of shooter and real-time strategy where you play a disembodied brain remotely controlling many expendable clone and robot bodies. A fully destructible pixel world and physics chaos make every fight unpredictable.

Hidden & Dangerous

A party of several characters

A tactical World War 2 shooter where you lead a four-man Allied commando team through risky sabotage and rescue missions. You switch between soldiers and can drive vehicles, and the high difficulty rewards careful planning.
