Door Kickers – Entertainment Game Review
Door Kickers is a Entertainment/Strategy/Action game from KILLHOUSE GAMES SRL, first launched in 24th June 2015.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 3,089+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Door Kickers Stand Out
Door Kickers is the unforgiving, award winning SWAT-command quick tactics game. Includes all updates and a new campaign, as well as full cross-platform saves compatibility and an all-new interface designed specifically for touch based platforms.
RockPaperShotgun’s Bestest Best Tactics game
**“Door Kickers is a game about cops kicking down doors, and these doors are a lot of fun to kick down. It is also very hard, and I love it for that.” ***
84/100 – PC Gamer
”It evokes lot of the more demanding thrills that modern games have left behind, the grit and the hard won satisfaction of overcoming intimidating challenges, or the experimental fun of spending hours tinkering with all the different ways you can play through a big, open-ended level. I had a blast inching my way through pretty much all of the harder stages in this game and I also think you might have a blast with it too.”
Super Bunnyhop
“It’s a thing of beauty and manages to capture the planning and satisfying execution of more complex strategy games, as well as the gung-ho and the popping-off of growly man in military shooters. (…) It’s probably the best man-shootery game I’ve played in years.”
Indie Statik
Door Kickers mixes old school, no-quarter action with modern ergonomic interfaces and puts you in command of a SWAT team during a tactical intervention.
Analyze the situation, plan team routes, choose equipment and breach points and coordinate multiple troopers to reach the hostage room before the bad guys get to press that trigger.
It may sound daunting, and like real world CQB combat, it sure is. But most levels can be completed in minutes and on the fly improvisation works. Achieving the perfect planning, getting the mission done with no false steps and losing no people, that’s a skill harder to master.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
And said here take our money great game. We had it when it was free on 2 android phones now on IPhone we see they improved the game a bit even back then it was worth the price.
The controls are definitely made for PC and there is a learning curve, but they are totally manageable and dont hold the game back. We will note that it is not an action game – its a puzzle game with action mechanics.
Its so realistic the fact that you can even throw flashbangs its just insane completely worth all the money that we paid for it.
Engaging game design and fun gameplay first and foremost. Very addicting and then the mods you can install kicks it up a notch more. Hope the sequel comes to IOS as well. Recommend it!! So go kick some doors solder.
This game is worth the $4.99, new mobile controls now allow for better experience, we say new bc we jus got it and we read comments saying controls bugged. You dont have to pay for anything else once you get it, mods are already there to be installed, our only issue is that our operators dont usually go full auto when they have a big load of enemies, anyways worth the money get it.
This is a wonderful video game that greatly encapsulates the strategic thinking required to succeed in a battle situation while minimizing casualties. Im happy to have a strategy game such as this on mobile as we lack a pc. Once we do get a pc we cant wait to play Door Kickers two.
Really good game, we love it, but for the love of god devs, please come back and add more content, please? Like more mods or more missions or more campaigns, Im begging youuuuu.
This is nothing but just a fun idea, but allowing the players to make there own maps would be cool, Im not saying adding stuff like making your own props but just giving them all the in game assets and allowing them to create there own challenges. Another fun idea would be reversing the roles and allowing players to play the defensive role, protecting objectives and allowing AI squads to push in on you. Otherwise the game is great.
This game is the most fun iOS game Ive played but it would be nice if they updated it.
This game was so worth it no ads at all its a nice game and there is infinite levels cause you can generate them yourself its endless fun.
You can pick how to beat levels and if you cant do one level you can skip or do a practice level,good weapons and different classes though not all of them are unlocked at the start.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE move the restart button ive fat fingered it so many times, and it somehow ONLY happens when im about to complete a level.
This is one of the best games we have ever play! Very tactical and strategic also check your corners.
This is game was by far the best we have ever purchased on IOS. We have played for hours which we seldom do as most Iphone games become boring and monotonous. Highly recommended.
10/10 this might be the best game we played in YEARS our only thing we ask for is a update where we can customize more things and a DOOR KICKERS 2 other than that we love this game.
Big console gamerbut have never gotten into mobile games. This changed that.phenomenal game.
Just the best one, not much else to say.
The game is really fun and we like it a lot just wish there was more outfits.
We would really like to see door kicker 2 on iOS please that would be great an awesome to play.
Its such a good game but it needs an update. Maybe ad more mods or new maps and campaigns. Also the random map generator isnt really random and it shows the same map for one combination of settings.
Are you kidding us bro this game right here deserve to be on the top like think about it this game make you think at the same time you fight like tell us is this even use for real to train people in real life.
All class 1. Add a function where you can order your men to shoot through doors 2. Repeling to other floors Silent class 2. Take downs, if a stealth class is near a enemy back they can take them down silently 3. Entry through windows Shotgunner 4. Bean bag shotgun 5. Tear gas Shield 1. A very heavy shield that protects from everything, 0% of billets can hit the operator BUT they have no weapon and arw very slow 2. Light Shields can charge through unlocked doors and people 3. Small shields can crouch to block their lower half as well.
The game is cool it just that the hud is kinda hard to touch.
We LOVE this game! This is how mobile games should be no ads no in app purchases just the game. Also could you add door kickers 2 to mobile? Thanks.
Time flies by when youre having fun its a very good game. If you like strategy games some levels are hard, but you will always find a way to go through it give a shot its worth it.
Honestly a very cool game, good mechanics and good strategy, very good.
We like this game a lot worth the price.
We think it is awesome and we love, it as someone who loves swat/law enforcement. We also have to say we wish there were more types of character portraits.
We've been playing door kickers since 2014 tem years later we are still enthralled and immersed in the details.
Excelent game, the only complain we have the instructions is not very clear, especially when you have to program the attack for the perp.
This game is fantastic. The problem? We. NEED. MORE OF IT. We need more mods, we need a level editor, we need more customization. Thats not to say this is bad, we mean we LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH THAT we NEED MORE! Seven (?) campaigns, hundreds of maps, hundreds of items, etc. This game is NOT A WASTE OF MONEY. But please give us a level editor. Please, dear god give us a level editor.
We love Door Kickers. Its a should download it too. Its really fun.
When do we get door kickers 2 to mobile? And work on this at all.
We learned about this game from a random YouTube recommendation and we dont have a PC so we were pumped to find an iPhone version. Im hooked now. Super cool game. It can be casual if you wanna speed through the levels or very tactical and extremely challenging if you want to get all the stars and medals.
It needs more mods to play with.
Ive been playing this in waiting rooms and on flights for years now. Im a weapons instructor and a Marine. This is hands down one of the best games on a mobile device Ive ever played. Love it and worth it. We want more.
Played door kickers 2 for years before we were even aware of this game. It has the same great satisfying feel and there are an awesome amount of missions! Why are there no grenades? And It would be so cool to be able to set operator loadouts easier. The system is bugged and it makes all operators run the same load outs.
Its a good game not designed to be played on mobile. Ive played the game on PC before and it feels 10 times better, not only at commanding your troops, but also at speed and accuracy. The game also doesnt have a very interactive tutorial, but slowly, youll get the just of the game. The game is very fun though, just wish we could create our own maps or have a better generation of random maps. Not so worth it for $5 on mobile.
This game is definitely satisfying! A hard fought battle is extremely rewarding. While we do wish this game supported game controllers it is still fun and playable definitely a learning curve.
Please add more trainings for new players or more missions for training, like more variety of missions we are trying to ask. But overall the game is amazing. Also we need a lot more maps ( outdoor maps ) and more maps that are large.
Its definitely one of the top 3 mobile games in our opinion its worth the $5 very good for when you wanna play a strategy game with a mix of some modern weapons beautiful game honestly.
Great war/strategy game. It gives many different scenarios from eliminating the enemy, hostage rescue, terror threats and more. Gives a pretty good variety or weapons, equipment and armor to choose from depending on what the mission calls for. Very fun and addictive game. They got 84 individual mission levels and about 6 different campaigns with 5-7 levels more on each. Hope they add more.
Its a good game but needs more ways to infiltrate building and complete missions.
This game is an absolute masterpiece, worth every penny. We know 5 dollars is steep for a mobile game but its so worth it. Love Swat 1-4? Try this game, love R6? Try this game.
Love what a good strategy game worth the money.
We love how the game supports two different play styles such as, well thought out plans and a figure it out as we go plan.
Only thing we dont like is when you wanna move around the map sometimes you change accidentally the soldier plan and then you have to do it again.
The game is good but you really need to upload more firearms and more official missions. Also we hope that players can design their own missions. Please considerate.
Can you please update the game we love the gameplay but if you update it to somewhat of door kickers 2 it would be awesome.
Loved the game so much we cant stop laying it Im definitely going to try 2nd one.
