Karma City Police

Karma City Police is a 911 dispatcher simulation game with battles based on pinball. You will play as a telephonist whose job is to make 911 calls, listen to caller inquiries and send help whenever needed. The game also offers a dialogue full of stories starting from the last half of the game.

Story

The story feels empty at first. You are a newly transferred officer who answers 911 calls, and the story will revolve around you doing your job from time to time. The story begins after a while, introducing you to the opponent of “Beat” who comes with controversy. However, the story feels light to me. I admit that I like some parts of the story, especially the jokes, but the writing is great.

Gameplay

As I said before, except for the story, the gameplay is divided into two parts: a 911 dispatcher simulation game and a pinball battle. The former will allow you to call your computer and listen to callers’ inquiries, check their mood, and ask further questions if necessary.

Since this is an emergency call, you only have three opportunities to ask questions. Some conversations will give callers more information, tell you if you need to prepare a police officer with an armed kit or car, while others will tell you if the situation really involved the police. Need

Honestly, I liked this part of the game. Feeling we have ‘Run out of gas’ emotionally and knowing that you are doing the right thing after the shift, encourages me to take better cues next time.

Fight

Fighting is played like a pinball where you have paddles that you can move and a ball that can be hit by paddles to move towards the enemy. Obstacles will also be erected between you and the enemy to increase the difficulties.

Although the game is still easy to beat, especially since whenever you lose you can always try to fight again. In addition, the game is generous enough to give three lives and the opportunity to use items when needed. As you advance your game, a special power will also be activated, allowing you to summon an extra ball to defeat the enemy faster.

Visual

Pixelated visuals fascinate me at first sight. The characters may look blurry at first with their extra layers and colors, but they are actually there to give the small pixelated images extra details and depth.

Backgrounds also help to complement these unique visuals by using the same style in some parts. Plus, I’m impressed with the amount of work done for the cuts. They are made in more detail, showing a close-up image of something, sometimes animated, to give you a better look at the situation.

Conclusion

There is not much to say about Karma City Police. The gameplay itself is quite mediocre and repetitive, with you having to do a few small things between calls. Once you become more familiar with the game, the game will turn into a heavy story instead of introducing a controversy to focus more on the story and the outcome.
