About RoBeats:
A game that doesn’t spoondfeed you. You have 21 days to save your ass while keeping up with your mundane police tasks. After 15 days I thought that I didn’t really do much so far to achieve my main goal and when the 21st day was over, I was game over. I did everything the game asked me to and was quite good at it, but the game didn’t tell me what to do to actually succeed. Because I didn’t pay attention. I expected the game to tell me what to do or at least give me very obvious hints in form of a task list or something. But in this game it doesn’t work like that. You and you alone are responsible to tie the lose ends together to end the main plot in a positive way. And that’s awesome and something very rare in the days of games where you just blindly run towards a marker on a minimap.Within Beat Cop, you play as a detective who, after taking down a thief at the Senator’s mansion, is framed for the stealing of some diamonds from his safe. You’re thrown down to Beat Cop status, and are tasked with patrolling a particularly seedy neighborhood. Your main job revolves around fining people for illegal parking or worn tires, but the story goes deeper than that with a street gang and the Italian mob both vying for power and control. Murders, robberies, and more go on as you do your basic patrol, and how you react to the mob, gang, and basic citizens affect their impression of you and how easily they escalate when confronted. You can get the mob in your pocket, but siding with the Mafia will put you on the gang’s hit list.
