- The Demo Just Got a Major Overhaul - 20 November 2025
Hey everyone! Been working non-stop these past months, and the demo of COP BASTARD has just received a big update. It’s now much closer to how the final game will look and feel.Here’s what’s new:A short tutorial to help you get into the flow fasterAdded checkpoints. No more full restarts after every death.Adjusted weapon balance — each gun should feel sharper and more distinct now.Reworked AI behavior and added a bit of randomness to keep fights less predictable.Refined the enemy spit mechanic — it’s nastier, but more fun to use.Tweaked the menu layout and changed some of the in-game music.Some post-processing effects can also be toggled off if you really need, though it’s recommended to keep them on to fully soak in that grimy late‑90s action vibeThe demo now better represents the direction of the full release. I’ve been continuously refining everything — gameplay, feel, balance — and…

This is why I like the demo for first-person shooter Cop Bastard a lot. It's set in early 90s Japan, where you'll smoke fools with guns in straightforward homage to 90s action movies. And it has an updated demo - not officially part of the latest Steam Next Fest - out right now. Read more
