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" ?

Game is super fun. Has that retro shooter vibe, I have really enjoyed playing on the go on Steam deck. Regulators is a hidden gem of a game combat feels rewarding, game feedback is great, overall so far a great experience.
Regulators is a very fun, fast-paced twin-stick shooter. The pixel art and music are great. The power-ups and modifiers encourage replays, and the ability for a 2nd player to pick up a controller and seamlessly join is a definite plus. Most of my time has been spent on desktop, and it runs great there, but I can confirm it also runs great on the Steam Deck. If you're into top-down shooters with tight controls and game-play, this one is an easy buy.
I like it a lot. Tons of action. I did finish the first couple of missions and will for sure try to finish the game when I have a bit more time at hand. At first it's a bit overwhelming but you get the hang of it quite quickly. Looking forward to get into the tactical side a bit more. Definitely recommend!
Cool game; I like the graphics, the mini games, and the mayhem that ensues when getting ambushed. One small issue that should be an easy fix; when in full screen the viewable portion of the screen is too wide and falls off on the sides. So you can't see the your DNA upgrade count in the level. Windowed works fine. Tried at 1080 and 2160. I have to say, for a single dev in development hell he pushed out quite a nice little time shredder.
Macht echt Laune. Tolle Atmosphäre und einfach auch total lebendig alles. Man kann einfach überall was entdecken. Viel Liebe zum Detail und ein tolles Spielgefühl. Für mich persönlich auch genau das richtige Tempo und die Spieltiefe stimmt auch. Performance und Zugänglichkeit sind auch einwandfrei. Ich denke das is für jeden was, der auf Top-Down, Taktik-Action-Shooter und Pixel-Art steht.
Get in, get the job done, fly away in a helicopter! Fun shooter with lots of action and a companion you can upgrade and interesting side tasks like disarming bombs that makes for a nice full experience.
I've been having a lot of fun with Regulators. It's full of action, weapons and fun upgrades to play around with. You can tell a lot of love has gone into this game.
Regulators is a hidden gem that channels the charm of classic top-down shooters, enhanced with modern tactical features and a dash of alien ooze-induced superpowers. It's like reliving the golden era of gaming, give it a try I'm sure you'll like it.
Regulators is a nice action packed top-down shooter. There are some characters with different abilities to choose from and a diverse number of maps. I was part of the beta testing for this game and enjoyed it even in that phase already. The developer really listened to feedback given by community and the game overall is really solid. A couple of mini games and some different things to do. Plenty of maps for an action game to keep you going. Don't expect some sort of story line with impact or decision making, this game is very much arcade as can be seen from the footage above. I would recommend the game to those like for example "Nuclear Throne" or "Binding of Isaac".
Thanks for the fun game. There is room for improvement, but I have been enjoying this game.
