It’s a smooth visual experience as well, something which is always great for an FPS. The visual design does well in employing the pixel art style to great effect, with some well worked level designs and a good array of humorous characters. I enjoyed the level design as it has some nice battle arenas and some hidden secrets you’re going to want to hunt down. Yet to keep the DOOM references flowing, you’ll find that Fashion Police Squad utilises stuff like coloured keys and locked doors just switched out for coloured scissors and ribbons that need cutting. There are a couple of sections where you have to use a whip to swing across rooftops, and honestly, this is horrible and a bit unreliable. You explore a large number of levels that take you all over the city overground and underground. There’s no doubt that the variety of gameplay keeps changing it up and adding new weapons and tactics, though. It is a lot of fun and a great idea, but switching up the weapons is not as simple as I would have liked. So many different enemies appear that you’ll need to utilise a whole variety of different weapons and strategies to take them out. One enemy needs you to capture him, and then hit him to make his suit better fitting. A scooter guy needs you to drain his energy to make him more hip. For example, a normal grey-suited man needs a certain weapon to shoot him which gives him better clothes. Instead of shooting bullets from your different guns, you hit your enemies with special powers – turning their drab outfits into something fabulous. But it does tend to get a bit wearing after a while, especially when you are found repeating levels and dying over and over. It is very witty and some of the writing made me laugh out loud. You are chasing down leads, fighting bosses, and generally keeping up in a world of cool around you. There is a narrative on offer here and that works as a parody of police action games and films with very much a style twist. Your task is to go out into the world and deliver justice to a whole host of fashion criminals. You are part of the titular Fashion Police Squad, an elite bunch of stylish upholders of the fashion law. The story found in Fashion Police Squad is a very fun one. Basically put, if you know your Ralph Lauren from your Primark, then this could be for you. It is this that is the very tongue-in-cheek premise of the latest first-person retro-shooter, where the clothing you are wearing will determine your life. But if you were wearing something grey, ill-fitting, and showing off socks with sandals, then the Fashion Police Squad would not think twice about putting you down. Now, in the game Fashion Police Squad, that kind of outfit would be applauded.
