This Is the Police 2 is a gritty, morally complex management game that successfully expands on everything that made the original a cult classic. You are no longer just sitting in a clean office; you’re in a cold, corrupt border town where every decision has life-or-death consequences. The blend of narrative drama, resource management, and new XCOM-style tactical combat is a potent and addictive mix.
The game excels at making you feel the weight of leadership. Your officers have personalities, flaws, and prejudices, and managing their morale is just as important as solving crimes. The tactical missions are a huge improvement, giving you direct control over the raids and arrests you previously only read about. It’s a somber, well-written journey into the dark heart of law enforcement that demands your full attention.

Interpret the law as you see fit in This Is the Police 2, sequel to the acclaimed noir drama This Is the Police! Run the sheriff’s department, manage your cops, investigate, interrogate, and incarcerate. Make tough decisions – and try to keep out of prison yourself! – in this story-driven mixture of adventure, strategy, and turn-based tactical combat.
Is it a simulation? A management game? A tactical challenge? A visual novel? A puzzle? It’s all of these, and more!
Dive into one-of-a-kind -story-driven experience.
Welcome to Sharpwood, a cold and harsh border town riven with violence, where no one is completely innocent. Smugglers, gangs, and screaming populists call this town their home. To maintain peace and order, the young sheriff Lilly Reed (Sarah Hamilton) will have to team up with fugitive criminal Jack Boyd (Jon St. John), and pray that her dangerous plan doesn’t spiral out of control.
Take charge of the Sheriff’s department.
Your subordinates aren’t just some resource; they are living people with their own strengths, weaknesses, fears, and prejudices – and you'll have to reckon with all of them in order to survive. Is one of your guys drinking too much? Or always coming up with excuses for not coming to work? Or does he refuse to follow orders? You’ll have to show a steady hand if you want to impose discipline on this department.
Engage in tactical combat.
During your most dangerous operations, the game will switch to turn-based combat. Gather a team of your finest cops. Carefully study the terrain, adapt your plans, stealthily approach your suspects and use non-lethal weapons and equipment – if the situation allows. True, sometimes gunfights are almost impossible to avoid, but be careful: This Is the Police 2 doesn’t have hit points. A single bullet can cost a cop their life.
Become a true detective.
Collect evidence, study case materials, interrogate suspects and send the criminals to court. And if the suspect was innocent? Perhaps it's time to find out if any Sharpwood judges can be bought.

This Is the Police 2 is the direct sequel to the acclaimed noir drama. Part management sim, part tactical RPG, you must oversee a department of flawed officers in a corrupt city. Investigate crimes, manage your precinct's budget, and for the first time, take direct command of your team in intense, turn-based tactical missions. Every choice matters, and every mistake could be your last.
Unique blend of management and tactical RPG
Morally complex narrative with multiple paths
Deep investigation and detective mechanics
Gritty, atmospheric noir presentation
Pay attention to your officers' 'Professionalism' score. Don't send low-skilled officers on high-risk calls; they are more likely to fail and can even cause permanent injuries to their teammates.
Lately, we've been hit with one great adventure game after another, and the developers certainly don't spare us with this genre.

In the tactical combat missions, stealth is your best friend. Use non-lethal tools like tasers and pepper spray to take down suspects quietly. Avoiding a firefight keeps your officers safe and improves your department's reputation.
While it’s a direct sequel, the game provides enough context to be enjoyed on its own.
