Lots of Rainbow Six style a-breachin' and a-clearin' going on in that trailer there. We see blast charges, silencers, and one player using a big handheld battering ram to bust down a door while another tosses what’s probably a flashbang over the threshold. TheSteam pagecalls it “high-octane tactical combat meets strategic planning” with “tough, unyielding enemies”.

It sounds a bit likeReady Or Not, a hardcore tactical co-op shooter that’s all about storming rooms full of bad guys with hostages and the like. The multplayer shooter is an interesting route for Crowbar Collective to go following their recreation of Black Mesa, but it also makes some sense, given that the reworked weaponry animations were a big strength of Gordon’s Great Gallivant, an adventure Graham called"the most impressive fan game ever made". Personally, I need a little more than “co-op roguelite shooter” to get excited about guns. But different strokes for militant folks and all that.
