[h2]Alpha Response (v0.1.2)[/h2] [b]As of now -- No, I do not recommend it. I rate it Negative.[/b] I don't care if people claim it's "just early access" or that my tone is too harsh. I'm telling you my experience. Besides, if the game gets updated then this review will be irrelevant anyway. How on Earth can you call this game "the strongest, most original FPS of 2025" (quoted from PCGamesN) when it's barely been out - sitting at v0.1.2 ? I guess gaming journalism has a bad habit of parroting marketing materials, especially when there's a big name attached. "From the creator of Counter-Strike" gets clicks. I dislike that the marketing doesn't present these features as "coming soon" or roadmap promises - they talk as if those already exist in the current build. Honestly, I couldn't play further because I disliked repeating the same starting missions over and over again due to the lack of save functionality.

About the Game

From Gooseman, the legendary creator of the original Counter-Strike mod, comes Alpha Response - an adrenaline-fueled singleplayer/co-op experience that puts you in the boots of elite police forces worldwide.
Respond to critical situations requiring surgical precision to save innocent lives. Every decision matters in a world where threats lurk around every corner. Bring justice to chaos!

Join a global police initiative battling cross-border criminal syndicates. Choose your elite unit and take the fight to the enemy.
Team up with 3 friends in explosive 4-player co-op or take on the challenge solo. Coordination is key - your survival depends on it.

Alpha Response features heart-racing dynamic missions from hostage rescues to bomb threats with multiple tactical approaches. Enemies spawn differently each time - no two operations are ever the same. Adapt or die, no two missions are ever the same

Fight across massive, detailed environments from city streets and massive metro stations to towering cathedrals and industrial complexes. Navigate indoor and outdoor battlegrounds teeming with civilians who need your protection.

Face a lethal variety of opponents - hardened criminals, attack dogs, armored vehicles, and helicopter gunships. Each threat demands unique tactics to overcome.

Dominate with an extensive arsenal from sidearms to heavy weaponry. Deploy shields, grenades, and vehicles to gain the tactical edge. Every tool is essential for mission success.

This game has really made me realize how bad cops have. Definitively better than Ready or Not, they got so scared of their own edge they had to censor their eyes. This game is pure cops life hell, every second of it. Reminds me a lot of APB Reloaded.
looks kinda cool. still rough, and no controller support so I couldn't get into it.
Some of the most intense shootouts you'll ever experience. Support these devs.
Game should be called "Oops_All_Headshots"—on me, not them.
Two words. Flash Bang. It feels like every second the drones are just chucking flash bangs at you. Did not have fun in the 20 minutes I played this game. There is also no option to turn off music in audio.
Nice you can buy addons for all guns. Suppressor not change damage much, but okay. More for stealth than damage, that good for me.
Breach and clear moments are what co-op dreams are made of.
Not perfect, not finished — but interesting because it tries so many new game mechanics. Its the only game that I've played that has a shit ton of civilians running around in the middle of a firefight. Killing civilians should be penalized a bit more as they only deduct 100 credits for each civvia I kill.. This is not much considering you earn about 4,000 credits at the end of each mission
It doesn’t always explain itself clearly, but that’s probably because half the systems are still being tuned. I actually like that gives me something to explore. I'm really looking forward to how this game evolves through Early Access
