The reveal trailer for narrative tactics game Gods With Badges was released this past week. Set in a dystopian city, it examines the practical and moral issues facing law enforcement agents.

From the publisher –

Patrol the streets of Scarhelm. Decide the fate of your fellow citizens. Take down criminals in brutal turn-based combat. You are a god with a badge, and when you turn on your bodycam at the start of a shift, the only thing you answer to is your conscience, and your fellow officers.

This isometric, turn-based combat game sees you deciding the appropriate level of force required for a variety of different situations. With the help of customizable loadouts, you’ll attend active crime scenes, take cover, rescue hostages, whilst choosing from a number of tactical and dialogue options.

Set in the futuristic dystopian city of Scarhelm, missions will involve seizing illegal contraband, searching for evidence, dealing with complaints, and issuing tickets. When you’ve identified suspects, you’ll need to choose whether to arrest them, or execute them.
