Due Process

Due Process (2020) is a tactical shooting game that focuses on both the planning and execution of missions. You are presented with a unique mission where teams of five either have to defend or attack a particular location. Spending time talking through tactics with teammates, drawing lines on the map that will guide your play, you then have a number of goes at executing. The best of 6-7 rounds wins. Currently released for PC, but Due Process is “planned to release on Switch, PlayStation and Xbox” at a future date.

One team of five is the corporate military force with top tactical gear and weapons. They plan a speedy, surprise and violent attack. This should enable you to systematically eliminate threats room by room, or by striking swiftly at the heart of the defence. The other team of five is a rag-tag band of outlaws with old trusty weapons. They aim to anticipate what the enemy is planning, then set up traps, crossfire and other exploits to break their opponent's tactics.

Both sides get 2 minutes to plan and then 2 minutes to execute. Careful consideration beforehand and close teamwork when the clock is running are essential. Because every map is procedurally generated, you'll be faced with a new challenge every time you play. These procedurally generated maps are changed once per week and reviewed by the developers before being released to ensure balanced gameplay.

Teams discuss their strategies over voice chat, and use the planning phase to draw up a plan of attack. Deploy your assets wisely over the course of three rounds, as anything fielded from your armoury won't come back if destroyed or lost.
