Action side scrolling spin off of the more strategic Door Kickers. Fight against the true enemy of gamers, doors, and their minions that have taken hostages or planted bombs around the environment. Six characters to choose from with their own weapons and equipment options, and skills to upgrade. A rifle using assault class, shotgun using breacher, woman with a shield with different functions and a pistol, off duty cop in the wrong/right place who brought his dad's old rifle but forgot his pants, recon class with silent guns, unique gadgets, and lockpicking skills, and an FBI agent with a forward roll and a stronger and faster melee attack. Each character can level up and spend points to learn new passive abilities, improve their aim or defense, or increase two skill trees that effect everyone. Killing enemies and saving hostages fills a strategic meter that can be used for special abilities to heal or to activate more powerful weapons.

Character and level art is good, music is good, player made levels are able to be downloaded, and a zombie mode can be turned on that bring portals full of new undead enemies into existing stages. It's a fun enough time but can start to get repetitive fast, especially after you max out the character you want to use and can easily get through most situations just using quickly refilling points to get more armor and health. The main challenge will come from getting the three star rankings on the levels where hostages will require more thought to safely rescue (which is much easier with certain characters).
