Game Description

Riot: Civil Unrest is the highly anticipated real-time riot simulator that places the player right in the heart of some of the world's most fractious clashes. Campaigns include: Indignados (Spain), Arab Spring (Egypt), Keratea (Greece) and NoTAV (Italy). Seventeen single level scenarios include Rome, Oakland, Paris, London and Ukraine.

Riot: Civil Unrest's creator, Leonard Menchiari, experienced rioting first-hand at the NoTAV protests in Italy. He created the game to tell the stories and express the feelings experienced during these clashes. What triggers the crowd to behave with such anger and aggression? Often outnumbered, what does a police officer feel like during the conflict? Riot: Civil Unrest presents the player with the opportunity to experience both sides of the fight - a fight in which there really are no winners. Who is right and who is wrong? Experience RIOT - Civil Unrest and draw your own conclusions.

Carter ★★★★★

The camera angles in the riot simulator really put you in the middle of the chaos, and the real-time strategy element keeps you on your toes the whole time. I've sunk a few hours in already and the tension of managing a crowd never gets old, even when things go sideways.

Carter ★★★★★

Took a chance on this after seeing the real-time riot simulator tag, and it's genuinely gripping once you get the hang of commanding the crowd chaos. The perspective switching between rioters and police adds a layer of strategy I didn't expect, and the tension in each street confrontation feels raw.
