Due Process

Please play this game. It still has some active players and it deserves all the support it can get. Really good ♥♥♥♥ as advertised on the storepage. And you can draw a penis on the map

This is probably the saddest review I am going to do because, in theory, Due Process is not only a great tactical shooter but a revolutionary one. However, I need to be honest and realistic: this game is almost unplayable, and I simply don't believe it will ever get better. I will directly address the main problem: the low player base. I play on EU servers and really had to time my online sessions perfectly, like weekend afternoons, just to get tolerable queue times. Even then, you sometimes need the patience to wait several minutes. That is also why I played casual most of the time, as ranked takes even longer. This problem is so severe that the developers even gave players the option to leave a casual match instantly to join a starting ranked match. So, while you can argue whether the low player base is the developers' fault or not, it is definitely an issue so massive that it creates a negative chain reaction throughout the game. It is so dire that the developers recently celebrated having just 153 concurrent players online. And since the game received almost no relevant updates over the past year, I get the feeling the developers know the game won't survive and are slowly abandoning it. But now, let’s talk about the revolutionary aspects I mentioned. Due Process is definitely a tactical shooter with the core DNA of Counter-Strike and the tactical depth of Rainbow Six Siege. However, the developers deeply analyzed those successful titles and managed to successfully eliminate the issues those shooters still face. The biggest fix is definitely that every player, whether a newbie or a veteran, has the exact same map knowledge because the maps are randomly generated. Fortunately, things like throwing grenades at weird angles to act like mortars don’t exist here; instead, the game focuses on quick adaptation. Another awesome improvement is the replacement of a traditional economy with an "arsenal" for guns. This means you don't buy your weapons, nor do you have your own loadout. Instead, you pick weapons from gun safes that do not refill after a round ends. If you pick the sniper rifle and lose it, your teammates or enemies can grab it, but no one can buy it back once it is gone. Another great balance choice is that attackers have more HP, which removes the typical "peeker's disadvantage." I also want to mention mechanical details like physical doors that the "counter-terrorists" must kick open or safely blast through with a shotgun, as well as the ability to reach and deactivate the power switch to gain a massive advantage in the darkness with night-vision goggles. There are even more unique aspects uncommon for tactical shooters, but I don't want to explain every single one. What I can say, though, is that even with these great features, the downside is a steep learning curve where due to the low player base, you literally have to wait forever just to get a chance to learn the game, which really sucked for me. Unfortunately, it is hard to say how the tactical component fully worked for me because casual matches don't go that deep, and I only played about five ranked matches. Even in casual, it was hard to tell if a win or loss was due to our tactical approach. Because of the tiny player base, it was impossible to avoid matches where the skill levels within a team were completely mixed. However, I can fairly say there were definitely moments when my team was constantly drawing on the map, pinging, and giving callouts, which was an awesome experience. On the flip side, there were matches where no one talked, or players stopped taking the game seriously and became toxic. I witnessed multiple matches where American players, who were definitely intoxicated, joined EU servers and abused the voice chat by singing and monologuing constantly. It wasn't funny; it was just disrespectful to the few players who were doing their best to actually play and enjoy those few matches. The presentation is surprisingly great. I would even say it is one of the more immersive tactical shooters out there, making you truly feel like a special forces unit trying to stop a terrorist bomb attack. Even though the graphics are simple, both factions have a believable look (even with skins) where the attackers feel powerful while the defenders have the advantage of turning the building into a fortress. My personal highlight is definitely when the bomb isn't defused: instead of the round just ending with a standard explosion and text overlay, you get a cutscene where the entire building explodes with a bang. All in all, you now understand why I think the lack of players makes Due Process a bad experience, even though it is theoretically one of the best tactical shooters we have seen in recent years. I cannot recommend it right now, unless you are fine with struggling to find a match, nor can I recommend it for the future, as I have personally lost hope for this game. It is a real shame, and I genuinely wish I were wrong.

Best 89 cents ive ever spent... i would pay $5 for this game max if anything the game should be free like people recommend & then you set up a donation website for the game because i would donate to keep the game going its amazing & has so much potential i would love to see this game get big

[h1] 有些创新的战术攻防射击游戏，可惜死于宣传不到位 [/h1] 《due process》一般译为《正当程序》，初上手会觉得这款游戏很像彩虹六号围攻，虽然战术攻防的玩法确实比较偏向彩虹六号围攻，但我认为这款游戏还是有比较独到的创新点 [h2] +赛博都市反叛行动 [/h2] 虽然作为一款纯PVP游戏，我们没办法得知游戏背景究竟如何，大概能知道的是在未来的赛博都市，一个装备落后的反抗军在某个地区安放炸弹，守卫直到炸弹爆炸，恐怖袭击成功，而进攻方作为受雇的安保公司使用强力的赛博风格武器进行突破，并最终拆除炸弹，整个游戏赛博朋克风味很足 [h2] +舒适的像素美术 [/h2] 游戏的画风，属于像素材质加低多边形建模，比较有棱有角吧，安保部队的武器基本就是长方体加棱角分明的造型，有赛博朋克那味儿了，虽然贴图是像素，但是看起来挺舒服的不辣眼睛，简约但是不简陋，hud也挺好的，下方一条血条加上血条上方的物品栏，击杀提示在右上角，信息很明了，风格也是赛博风 [h2] +动态模块化地图 [/h2] 地图是模块拼装而来的，虽然大部分模块是能记住的，但是地图结构并不相同，你无从得知下一次在同样的地图哪里变成安全角落哪里变成了危险的交火地带，减少玩家反复游玩地图的无趣感 [h2] +资源管理机制 [/h2] 和大部分对抗fps不同，正当程序的装备并不是花费游戏币购买或者直接从局外带入，游戏本身是6局，3局换一次边，每次换边都会给你们的团队一个固定的武器库，在准备阶段挑选，然后带入战场，而这些武器将在你死亡后掉落，而强力的武器往往很少，所以掉落的武器最好在有需要的时候再选择，如果掉落，存活的队友也可以带回装备，你也可以选择拾取进攻方的武器留到下一回合使用，这一套资源管理带给了正当程序独特的策略性，让它区别于不少的PVP战术射击游戏 [h2] +用其他不平衡来平衡本身的不平衡 [/h2] 众所周知，攻防游戏一般是不平衡的，因为防守方往往有着位置优势可以打先手，还可以在地图上布置陷阱之类的，彩虹六号围攻是用不同的干员技能来让进攻有自己的方法，而正当程序因为制作组的产能不会太大，他们有更简单的方法，增加进攻方血量，并且让他们的武器更先进，是的，我说过这游戏背景是赛博城市安保部队对战反抗军，安保部队的武器拥有更小的后坐力以及更大的弹容量，以此来平衡他们进攻的先天劣势，这挺有意思的 [hr][/hr] 听我说下来这游戏有点真的很多，那为什么会没有人玩呢，当然也是有原因的 [h2] -宣发不到位 [/h2] 我在游戏发售前就有看过这游戏的预告，当时热度就不怎么样，并且没有中文（虽然本地化基本不太影响你游玩这款游戏）发售后更是无人问津 [h2] -定价策略有问题 [/h2] 前几年不好说，但是现在服务型游戏变成了开发商收益最好的类型，当然一般来说都不希望看到游戏变成这样，但是活下去最重要吧，游戏首发时价格达到惊人的70CNY，这个价格快可以买到折扣的怪物猎人世界大包了，这也是除了宣发以外无人问津的另一个因素，游戏热度最高的时候就是它降价到3CNY的时候，在线人数多到从我买这个游戏开始从来没见过的多，而后热度又慢慢下去，或许像收获日那样本体经常低价然后多出DLC才是正道吧，但是这又会引发其他的问题 [h2] -产能不足 [/h2] 正当程序的开发组我没有仔细了解过，不过想来人数应该也不多，游戏一直以一个半死不活的状态运营着，物品通行证没几个，新的地图什么的也没多少，即使是模块化拼装地图，也是会腻的，上面提到的服务型游戏在这里就会出问题，因为制作组的产能支撑不起高频持续更新，当然我不太清楚这是不是因为游戏本身的收益不足导致的，但目前来说他们的产能确实跟不上 [hr][/hr] [b] 以上均为游戏本身的优缺点，下面是玩家购买前需要考虑的 [/b] 首先，没有中文，我知道即使不太影响游玩，本地化还是会让人看着舒服很多 其次，在线非常惨淡，上线看最多凑齐两个房间，这游戏最多5v5也就是说日活一般在20人浮动，只有大促销时可能会有新人，你多打几局可能在线的人就认全了，游戏虽然有训练模式对抗人机，但人机智力不行，只是纯会开火的木人 再者，作为一款战术游戏，这在线的20人里可能来自天南海北，你根本不好沟通，虽然英语是通用的，但即使你精通英语也不能保证对方能听懂（当然有标记系统可以打标记，但是很多时候语音明显来得更快） 最后，延迟非常高，游戏原本是有日服的可以给亚洲地区带来比较流畅的体验，但是就我之前所说，游戏本身日活就20来人，玩家少的地区的服务器已经被官方关停，现在基本只能去欧服和美西，也会有200左右的延迟，玩起来挺蛋疼的 [hr][/hr] 大概就是这样，不过我个人还是很喜欢这款游戏，如果让我打分我能打到8-9吧，设计很不错，惨淡成这样实属有些可惜

Aussi bon qu'un certain "Rogue Point" (plutôt JcE), mais avec une + grande profondeur de gameplay à la Rainbow Six Siege & très belle DA (& plutôt JcJ). Mériterait d'être beaucoup + peuplé de joueurs SVP. Actuellement à -90% omg! ps: Manque un mode JcE + Solo

If you like arena shooters with a small learning curve, this is the game for you. I highly recommend joining their subreddit or discord. This game is great it just needs more players atm.

Esse jogo pra mim passou por uma das grandes injustiças da industria e prova que muito do que ta por trás de dar certo as vezes é só sorte: um jogo muito bom, extremamente divertido e com mecânicas criativas e muito divertidas acaba por não ficar popular e conseguir uma comunidade. Dum ponto de vista objetivo, esse jogo é MUITO bom, recomendo profundamente, na minha visão ele resolve uma série de problemas que me impediam de gostar de jogos na linha do Raibow Six Siege e Counter Strike com a mecânica de mapa modular, além de realmente incentivar planejamento. Mas infelizmente os servidores não estão com muita gente e o jogo "morreu", felizmente ele ainda tem uma comunidade pequena semi-ativa no discord mas por enquanto fica por isso. Esse é um jogo que tem muito potêncial e merece uma segunda ou até terceira chance.

Good idea, but the player base is not there.

I must say that it is by far the tactical game i a enjoyed the most in my life! First of all the overall ambiance ( which feel like you are in the Judge Dredd universe) at the same time it feels 80's as hell. Second , the rotation of the different map layout and the fact that it is picked as random means that you have to put together a strategy on the fly when it starts. Third , communication is key in this game and the planning phase at the start of the round is a blessing and works great + you have a limited number of each weapons and tools so you have to choose carefully. Its truly a shame that this game is very close to being dead , i had such a blast when there was players around! You just cannot go wrong being this gem for 1$ , hurry up and play ! Make this game great again

This game is an absolute sleeper. There are a few features that are unique and charming to the genre: RNG maps every week(?), an "economy" where you share a cache of weapons instead of purchasing, and gameplay features like night vision, prep phase where you draw out a plan, and special breaches/doors. The art style is cool, the gunplay is also really good, and its just fun.
