Beat Cop Review

Title: Beat Cop

Developer: Pixel Crow

Publisher: 11 bit studios

Release Date: March 30th, 2017

             I just got done with my 5th day in Beat Cop and I can’t say I plan on continuing which I find very disappointed in a game I was really looking forward to. I believe it was sometime late last year or early this year when I saw Beat Cop appear on my recommended games and I was able to finally pick it up during this past Steam Autumn sale.

           What I thought would a paper please esque police officer game I sort of did get it just a bare-bones version of it. The game starts off strong you play as Jack Kelly a former detective sent to beat patrol after being framed for stolen jewels from the senator.

           You start of the game with basic tasks like checking parking meters and making sure all parking rules are enforced with having to check tires and lights as the days continue and unfortunately that’s about all the game does have to offer.

           There does seem to be an overarching story with two different crews those being the mafia and “the crew” but you may see only one inclusion of the faction during the day with most of your day just checking cars.

           Now there are some management type features in the game you have a set quota of tickets to give out and if you can double that then you make a little extra and if you decide during the day to help out one of the factions you can also make a little money on the side as well as gaining favor with said faction.

           The issue is up to day 5 the money doesn’t really do much as far as I can tell you can’t upgrade the skills of Kelly like a longer sprint or a quicker recharge or even looking at the lights and tires quicker all the money can do is buy temporary sprint boosts in the form of drugs and food or to pay alimony. I did end up on my 5th day get a “quest” that would let me move to Mexico for 2000 dollars, but I just couldn’t bring myself to continue when the gameplay is so dull.

It differs from the paper please aspect of the details matter game because while you’re looking at different icons and making sure all the information matches each person who walks through your booth has a face and characteristics while the people in Beat Cop who you interact with are just pixel people.

           I necessarily wouldn’t call Beat Cop a bad game unlike other games I have talked about I could see myself picking this one back up and giving it another go around just to see if the story or gameplay picks up at all and If I do end up picking it back up and my thoughts change for better or for worse I will make an update to this review stating so
