The guys from Weappy Studio put us in the skin of the Chief of police of Freeburg, Jack Boyd, that will put us in front of various police investigations and ethical dilemmas in this This is the Police.
The best and worst of policing
This is the Police start when our protagonist announce that left only 180 days before being dismissed automatically after we discovered that his sole purpose in this time frame will be the meet the amount of half a million dollars to secure their retirement.
To achieve this, we will have to continue our work in the police station which will be to manage the alarms we receive and send to the police that we have in our care to quell each alert. We will have two shifts, each will be formed by different agents that will be alternating to work. Among the drawbacks that we will perform our work are tired of cops or different excuses that we will to miss work and that will give us the power to allow them to miss work or not, this last can cost us their loyalty.
As it could not be otherwise, quickly is corruption which knocks on our door and here is where lies the charm of the game now that every decision we make will take us down a different path. We maintain our honor and dedicate ourselves to put an end to the various mobsters that their activities are criminal in Freeburg or have something else these criminals with wide sleeves that will bring us a few juicy extra income, even time can take part in a war between gangs.
In addition to our roster of police officers This is the Police puts our orders to several detectives who will be work to gather evidence of different crimes that we have to solve. How much more experts are our detectives faster you will find the different evidence and once we have them we must avail ourselves of the testimony of various witnesses to order tests and thus to find the culprit before sending the police to arrest him.
All this is basically our work during 180 days remaining until our retirement, but to make it more bearable between day and day is interspersed with different stories that will make progress little by little the plot and that, as we have already said, will depend on the decisions we make in every moment. While the story begins very strong there are certain moments that become monotonous and when approached at the end of our work as Chief of police certain aspects such as the excuses of our subordinates or some calls, are repeated excessively.
This is the Police on only one map
The main reason that makes This the Police is an entertaining game is the simplicity with which we can perform all actions and how easy that is to move through all the menus. As we have already said we have two groups of police officers who will alternate at the police station every day, each working day will happen while our display shows a map of the city in which different alerts that we have to attend will be located. To do so we will have to select it and assign to the agents that will take care of the work, we will have to take into account how many agents are in police station to address new emergencies and the distance that there is, since this will affect the time it will take to become available.
This simplicity turns out to be a double-edged weapon for This is the Police, in the final phase the game becomes somewhat repetitive and this does not help at all to give more excitement to the story.
Whenever the workday ends another menu that will allow us to instruct agents to work the next day, although that will cause them more tired will appear. To prevent this fatigue and affect us absenteeism from work we can hire more police to complete the squares that financed us the Town Hall. In addition to this we have the option of making other efforts such as ask for favors to the mafia or ask for increases in the salary of all this in simple menus that will allow any player to dominate quickly This is the Police.
A title based on its history
If we talk about paragraph technician This is the Police must recognize that does not offer great frills. History tells us through different static vignettes accompanied by dialogues, in English and subtitled in Spanish, showing a very conceptual characters, mainly faceless and only showing us some significant features of each character.
As for the soundtrack you can choose between different topics of a catalog to expand, although it will not be too numerous, as we move forward in the game, to make more entertaining our days in the office.
Conclusions This is the Police
This is the Police brings us a story entertaining and easy to play that put us face dilemmas that they will have a difficult solution. In return it is true that can be too repetitive since sometimes see that there are still us over 100 days of work can make the experience we make a long uphill. In the paragraph the game technician meets just enough to accompany the story with nothing remarkable.
