Played until the game crashed on the last set of levels. Normally don't like shooting games but the top down view was nice. Definitely takes some skill to manage your party efficiently, I usually just defaulted to either follow or have them move and clear an area if I was low health, since I could click 2 or 3-5 fast and not need to bother to remember any other combinations. Probably could have cleared levels faster if I used the units better but it was fun just banging my head against the levels going loud every time. During the last set it seemed kinda random if hostages died or not though, sometimes they would be fine during a shootout in the room sometimes they would die when I was still clearing the first room.

Thanks for playing!
I just realized that I don't have a tutorial for hostage objective, that will be rectified in the future.
Basically a suspect will be designated as an "executioner" and will stand next to the hostage, killing it when he gets line of sight on an officer.
I can see how that can be confusing on the first hostage level where there's some long sightlines that executioners can see you from, my bad.
btw do you have any idea of what caused the crash?
Sorry, I have no idea what caused the crash, I was playing for awhile and everything was smooth (don't know exactly how long around 30min-1hour) but then suddenly the game froze then I got the program not responding message then it crashed. I was playing the first hostage level and had just respawned in when this happened but I had already restarted a bunch of times and everything was working fine till then.
