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.

Matthew ★★★★★

Playing as the riot police and then switching to the protesters really shows both sides of the chaos, and the top-down view makes it feel like a twisted strategy puzzle. It's brutally hard at first, but once you get the crowd mechanics down, there's a weird satisfaction in managing the mayhem.

Madison R. ★★★★★

Finally, a game that actually makes you think about crowd dynamics instead of just mowing people down. The real-time strategy controls take a few missions to get used to, but once you've got the hang of directing your squad through the chaos, it's genuinely tense and absorbing. Even losing a level f
