Due Process for Windows

Tactical first-person shooter

Due Process is an action game developed by Giant Enemy Crab and published by Annapurna Interactive. It is an online first-person shooter where you team up with other players to defeat the opposing faction. Each faction will have different play styles and capabilities.

Gameplay-wise, Due Process will remind players of Counter-Strike and Rainbow 6: Siege. It provides a 5v5 team distribution and allows players to have access to a wide variety of weapons. The difference is that the map changes every time you play. With this, you cannot memorize them to get a better chance of winning the next round. 

How does the game play?

Due Process is a tactical multiplayer shooter game. Here, players will play two distinct factions with radically different capabilities and play styles. Each team will be given a planning phase.  They will be locked in a room filled with equipment. You can pick any gear you want. However, you only have five slots. Moreover, your equipment vanishes when you die, and you cannot use it in the following rounds.

The game will deploy you on the field. Defenders will defend against the bombs planted on them until they blow up, while attackers must defuse them before time runs out. The bomb acts as a round timer and is a little over two minutes. Defusing also works as a percentage bar that fills. However, it does not reset. If your friend defused 50%, you only have 50% remaining to win.

As mentioned, the game differs from any other action-shooters thanks to the procedural generation of the maps. Maps rotate weekly to keep things fresh. Sadly, not all maps are good. Some have tiny entries, while some are wide open from side to side. Additionally, the game has a smaller community. Finding enough players is difficult. The movements are also slow, and the gun balance doesn't seem to be quite right.

Should you play it?

Overall, tactical shooter fans will feel at home with Due Process. Its gameplay and general concept are very much like the popular titles of the same genre. However, it does not have ever-changing maps to keep you on your toes in every round. However, the game needs some cleaning when it comes to its animation and overall responsiveness. It also hurts that it has a small community.
