What it's about: COP BASTARD est un FPS classique dans le Japon du début des années 90. Incarnez un détective dur à cuire et affrontez des vagues de yakuzas. Ni énigmes, ni perks, ni améliorations : des couloirs, des ennemis et la possibilité de leur cracher au visage.

« Jeu très fun, héros charismatique, gun feeling très cool. j'ai passé qques très bonnes heures dessus »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 20 h played« OK so I played the demo a while back and didn't like it much. To those of you who are in the same boat, let me assure you that the final product is a LOT more refined/polished. Well done, targim. »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 9 h played« I love this game. I don't want to think too much in games these days. Just give me satisfying loud guns that blow enemies away, and I am happy. The shotgun alone is worth entry price, very satisfying. »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 0 h played« Even Better than the demos, more refined ! Great retro shooter, no fuss, no useless features, great gunfeel, headshots, blood and stupid punchlines. »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 8 h played« Ever wish Hard Boiled was a boomer shooter? This is the game for you. Bad voice overs, cheese graphics and super addicting gameplay. Well done and well worth the money. Highly recommend. »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 3 h played« It's a great little Woo shooter. The stamina means you can either heal or do F.E.A.R. like slow-mo. This was a day 1 purchase for me. I can't wait to spend some time blasting through bad guys. »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 1 h played
« There just isn't much to it unfortunately. Maybe it will be improved upon in the future but right now I wasn't compelled to keep playing. »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 0 h played« can't say having a dude that does not seem to be japanese hitting the stereotypical probably racist Japanese broken english trope being the entire crux of the games humour was a good idea »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 0 h played« If I had a dollar for every time an indie dev put a shitty awful checkpoint system in their game. I'd be richer than Elon Musk. »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 2 h played« Not for me sadly, just needs slightly better music and more gibbing of baddies. The difficulty could use some options. »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 1 h played« For now, I gave this game a thumbs down. Endless mode dropped my laptop's performance to 20 fps. »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 0 h played« First-Person Payne-Like that feels like a John Woo film, but actually we in Japan. The old-school level design with the comic book interludes really keeps the pacing going. It's just non-stop! »👍 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 1 h played

Is COP BASTARD worth it in 2026?
Yes — player reception is very positive: 90% of 145 Steam reviews are positive (player score 86/100). Most-praised strength: Gameplay dominates praise. Current price: 10,43€ (10% off).
Verdict

While the core loop thrills, occasional performance hiccups, limited content, and a few bugs keep it from being flawless. Overall, it’s a solid pick for action‑hungry gamers seeking a quick, fun blast.
