Door Kickers 2: Task Force North Devs Issued Full Game Release Info
Will feel like an entirely new game!
Door Kickers 2’s Early Access Version Is Quite Impressive
But The Full Release Version’s The Kicker
KillHouse Games issued an important update about Door Kickers 2’s full game release. This is a top-down tactical RTS game where you “Command military Special Ops Teams in gripping tactical combat against a Middle East-based terrorist network.” Set in Nowheraki, Middle East, your team will venture into the heart of the terrorist territories to stop their nefarious operations. Participate in raids and neutralize the enemy in the best possible way in Door Kickers 2. This Early Access game's current features are:
⚫︎ RTS combat with “pause-at-will” mechanics
⚫︎ Non-linear levels with multiple paths
⚫︎ Three types of units with distinct fighting traits
⚫︎ Customizable weapons
⚫︎ Destructible environments
⚫︎ 4-player online co-op
⚫︎ Support mods via its custom-built 3D engine
⚫︎ Allow players to edit missions
They are adding two campaign types, Tour of Duty (ToDs) and Operations. ToDs will be a randomly generated campaign. There will be a list to choose from, where you can only pick one to play for that day. Meanwhile, Operations is “a set of custom handcrafted missions, forming a story.” The missions are interconnected, and troops can suffer from fatigue if used repeatedly. Both campaign types will also use an exclusive currency called Battle Honors. This is useful for upgrading troops or unlocking special equipment. Currently, they are planning to release 90 single missions.
The use of mods opens the game to endless possibilities. The devs will add an improved version of RMG or Random Map Generator, where you “can generate night maps, locked doors, and more layout and enemy variations.” Despite these changes, the devs assured players that they “won’t miss a thing” in this upcoming game reset. Here are the highlights features of the upcoming full release:
⚫︎ Two campaign types and campaign-exclusive currency
⚫︎ Brought back Doctrines to customize troop abilities
⚫︎ Improved RMG
⚫︎ New enemies and equipment
⚫︎ Full modding support
⚫︎ Steam Deck compatibility
After the game’s full release, the devs will work on “tweaks, recording new voices, and translating the game to other languages.” However, they cannot say the exact release date for this huge update. “Quality is paramount so it will be done when it will be done, but we’re definitely not far now!” Check out Door Kickers 2’s Steam page for a complete list of information!
Devs Took A Year To Announce Full Release Info
Door Kickers 2 was released as an early-access game on November 9, 2020. Despite the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, KillHouse Games consistently updated the game with new weapons, maps, and improved map generators. However, they stopped updating the game after their “September Intermediary Update,” released on September 13, 2023. No more updates have been released until now.
“We reconned it would be more efficient to have one release instead of countless cycles of building, testing, announcements, bug fixing and so on,” the devs shared. Despite the long wait, the fans are provided with a more concrete plan for the game’s full release, including a wide variety of new features and improvements.
Door Kickers 2 is available on Steam for $24.99 USD. If you want top-down tactical combat mixed with military operations, this game is right for you! Kick some doors and neutralize your targets in Door Kickers 2!
