Steam Store description

PLEASE NOTE: Online servers for the title were disabled in early 2024, and online play is no longer supported Two cops, one case and only 24 hours to take them down... can you score the bust of a lifetime? Take the role of a loose cannon police detective and face off against criminal gangs in an exciting procedurally-generated action movie FPS. Join forces with a friend, online or locally, and take down those crooks in true buddy-cop style! As a part of the RICO task force, your mission is clear: get in, take down the criminals and get out again. Sounds easy, but it's not - procedurally-generated cases mean you'll never know who or what's waiting for you. Pick your load-out, then use the element of surprise to get a tactical edge over the enemy. Unlock new weapons, mission types and traits, or dive into Daily Play and see how high you can climb the cop rankings! Take down criminal gangs with extreme prejudice and solve the RICO case - you've only got 24 hours, detective! Procedurally-generated cases mean no two games are ever the same - you'll never know what's waiting for you. Crack cases with a friend, either online or locally, for co-op carnage. Two loose cannons are always better than one! Daily Play cases - with leaderboards and rewards - keep you coming back for more, along with unlockable weapons, traits and mission types to discover.

Content descriptors

Although arcade in nature, RICO is still a first-person game where you shoot bad guys. Lots of bad guys. Sometimes square in the face. And there's blood! A fair amount of blood. So, please be aware of that before introducing your friends, family and loved ones to the world of RICO. Because guns don't kill virtual criminals - virtual police people do.
