Military content is common and famous in most game genres, but the Swat games are the most demanding when it comes to first-person shooting (FPS) games and tactical shooters.
The following games focus on intense combat, tactical decisions, strategy, an immersive atmosphere, and a slow pace that boosts teamwork, precision, and patience.
Gadinsider has compiled the best Swat games of December 204, clearly indicating which games are standalone.
SWAT 4
SWAT 4 tasks players with moving through several missions packed with detailed, immersive environments. The gameplay is aimed at quick reactions, following protocol, and taking advantage of squadmates using the game's intuitive controls.
Moreover, SWAT 4 sports random hostage and enemy placement, making replaying missions a lot more intense than they otherwise would be, heavily improving the game's replay value.
Ready Or Not
This intensely tactical and immersive FPS focuses on realism and teamwork that encourages a patient, slow-paced approach. Ready Or Not is best played with friends, but the game does include customisable artificial intelligence (AI) teammates that players can command in a single-player.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series has received many iterations over the years, with Rainbow Six: Siege being one of the most popular competitive tactical shooters on the market. However, the original Rainbow Six games focused on slower-paced tactical combat and squad commands that emphasised playing around the team and carefully planning.
Before every mission in Rainbow Six 3, players are required to select and customise their team members, all of whom have different specialities and stats that distinguish them from the rest.
Door Kickers
This real-time tactic game has players controlling a Swat team, leading them through several different building layouts using a series of triggered commands and real-time strategy.
Selecting the perfect equipment and breach points is important in Door Kickers, while precise timing and planning are essential to pulling off a successful raid. Additionally, almost all missions in Door Kickers play out in minutes, making it a simple game to pick up and play.
No Plan B
No Plan B's gameplay swings entirely around strategic planning. Once players give their team the go-ahead, the action starts, and gamers lose control. No Plan B utilises a timeline system, letting players plan out and synchronise the movement and actions of their squad members, carefully positioning and ordering them at specific intervals.
