About
REGULATORS puts you in charge of a small squad of mercenaries hired to clear the city from mutating villains in this top-down tactical shooter game. Enter buildings from the streets, rooftops or sewers, and complete mission goals to locate the scientist commanding the mutating villains. And take them all out!
An Asteroid crashed in the city, and an Alien substance called the Ooze started seeping out of it. It was quickly discovered that the Ooze had great drug potential, and it had mutating powers to who-ever Oozes up on it! Sadly you are NOT immune to the effects of the Ooze, but it does come with some handy super powers..
Top-down shooter requiring some tactics and strategy.
Various missions: intelligence, hostage rescue, detonation, take down and more.
Procedural missions mixed in with pre-designed levels.
Five playable characters, 2 unlocked and 3 unlockable.
Two-player split-screen co-op mode
Level editor.
Alongside a host of gadgets, weapon upgrades and handy tools to increase your chances of survival, you also have at least one recruit alongside you following your every move and helping out where needed.
Your recruits will level up and become more useful than just serving as shield or frag meat! Learning tasks like place C4, collect intelligence data, defuse mines and much more.
The most important task for you: operate as a team and make sure you stay a live .. at all costs!
The alien substance that crashed in the city doesn't just mutate gang members and various other city dwellers. It has also given you super abilities! Each of the five playable characters has a different super power and a different dodge move.
The game gives you two unlocked characters and three locked ones.
Complete over 15 missions all over the city, from apartments to industrial area's, hospitals, banks, airfields and scrapyards! The missions are partly procedurally generated but using pre-designed interior maps. Giving the best of both rogue-likes and custom level-design gameplay.
Can you lead this squad to victory and defeat "Dr OozeBrain" ?

Fun and addictive shooting combat and charming graphics like all of the orangepixel releases. Congrats on the release!
Bottom line is that this is a fantastic game. It takes some getting used to what the elements are but once you have it, you start to get into the grove. Great attention to details. Orange Pixel never disappoints. I appreciate the YouTube videos about this and other games being developed. It gives a great perspective on what single devs do and the amount of work it takes.
だいたい1ステージ10~20分ぐらいで攻略できて。全15ステージぐらい。 長過ぎず短過ぎず昨今ちょうどいい塩梅だ。自分は買って一週間で2周した。 最大の特徴は、自キャラに随伴するNPCキャラ。 こいつがよく働いてくれて頼もしい。 敵と対面すればちゃんと撃ち合う、 自キャラの弾切れが多発するので非常に助かる。 というか助けてもらう前提の調整にも感じる。 レベルアップしてスキルを得るとトラップも解除してくれる。 非常に至れり尽くせりなのだが、たまに気の弱いNPCがいて まったく働かない時がある。 この揺らぎもなんか良い。 シューター要素も楽しく。 障害物を盾にして撃ち合ったり、フロアに突入する時の 敵に気づかれる前に撃つか撃たれるかの緊張感が良く出来てる。 壊れるオブジェクトが多いので、オブジェクトの反対側にいる敵を 倒すためにオブジェクトごと破壊なんて大胆な事も出来たり、 細かくて突進してくる敵にはナイフで近接攻撃に切替えたり 判断力も必要なところも良い。 無茶して飛びこむとたまに敵の群れにもみくちゃにされてしまう 事もあり、それなりに慎重さを求められる。程良い緊張感だ。 フロアギミックは地雷からはじまって 監視カメラやドアスイッチ、マスクが無いとHPがみるみる減る毒ガスルーム、 といった感じにそこそこ種類があり、ローグライト要素で 毎度仕掛けの構成が異なる。たまにマスクが手に入る前に毒ガスフロアに 入らないと進めない場合があったりで無茶な構成もままあるが、 絶対にクリア不能という酷い構成はたぶん無いと思う。 あとアイテムの入手頻度で個性を出してるのも面白い。 病院ステージでは救急箱が入手しやすかったり、 敵がバイオハザードばかりのステージは弾丸が手に入りにくく 弾切れを起こしやすい。 こういう調整はなかなか良い味変だった。 2週プレイしてみての率直な感想は、とても楽しかった。 適度な長さ、適度な緊張感、適度な要素群、 これら混然一体となってとても遊び易く仕上がってるように感じた。 ローグライトなだけにとてもアドリブ的で、 配信とかでプレイしても楽しそう。 最初に選択できる男のキャラと女のキャラでプレイしたが、 基本動作にあまり差異は感じなかったかな。難点はそれぐらい。 良いゲームだった。 日本語対応してなかったけど特に問題は無かった。
This is a great game. Pascal overdid himself. I was afraid that it would be a frantic bullet hell. Like the old cannon fodder on the Amiga. But instead there really is some stealth and tactics there. Also all the small mechanics make everything more dynamic while not making it too complicated. Your assistant even can do some difficult work for you. Really interesting to see how this game evolved and surprised it ended up this great. Go buy and play this.
Probably the best OrangePixel game so far! This game is a great mix of a lot of my favourite things...and some more. Love the polish on this game.
Regulators is a standout indie gem that blends retro pixel art charm with deep tactical gameplay. From the moment I jumped in, I was hooked by its crisp visuals and tight mechanics. The pixel art is absolutely outstanding—vibrant, detailed, and packed with character. It perfectly captures the gritty, chaotic atmosphere of a city overrun by mutating villains. Gameplay is where Regulators truly shines. Every encounter feels strategic and rewarding, thanks to an excellent balance of weapons, gadgets, and unique superpowers. The game encourages smart play and experimentation, and it rewards you for both. The feedback you get as a player—whether through animations, audio cues, or on-screen prompts—is incredibly well designed and made learning the mechanics both fun and intuitive. The story adds another strong layer. While it keeps things straightforward, the narrative is engaging enough to give purpose to each mission and adds personality to your team of mercenaries. Overall, Regulators delivers a thrilling tactical experience that respects your intelligence as a player while offering plenty of fast-paced fun. Whether you're a fan of top-down shooters or just appreciate a well-crafted retro game, this one is well worth your time.
Got this to try due to advertised split screen co-op, but didn't even get to the point of trying it with a second player because: 1. the multiplayer option is hidden in the "press escape during gameplay" menu, which I didn't try until I'd already decided not to bother, and 2. it's clear that all the noisy most-of-the-screen pop-ups of disarm a trap, crack a safe etc. would be incredibly annoying with two players. They're already *quite* annoying with one player.
Good game! Easy interface, fun missions. Interesting story. Thanks for making this!
If you're into pixel art, stealth, gunfights, and games that respect your time, grab it.
Fun top-down shooter where you have a squad mate to help with the various tasks and micro-games. The pixel art and game feel are top-notch, as is always the case with Orange Pixel games! Now excuse me, I gotta get back to playing and level up my crew ;D
