Overview
Lazer Cops throws players back into the neon-drenched world of 80s arcade action with a unique bullet hell twist. This free-to-play title from Foolish Mortals Games and Michael Long emphasizes cooperation like never before. The core mechanic revolves around a "Lazer Tether" that connects players, offering a novel way to dispatch enemies by wrapping the tether around them. However, this tether is also your lifeline, chaining you to your teammates. Failure to cooperate means shared doom, as the death of one player results in the demise of the entire squad. The game doesn't dwell on the 'why' of the conflict; you're simply facing angry, hostile enemies who are in your way. For those who prefer a solo approach, the game cheekily suggests you might have to drive two cars at once, highlighting the challenge and the grizzled cop persona.
