History VideoGame / COPS2170ThePowerOfLaw

* Prequel: [[VideoGame/COPS2170ThePowerOfLaw COPS 2170 The Power Of Law]] is a Prequel to ''VideoGame/ParadiseCracked''.

* NintendoHard: Enemy robots can wipe out charactesr near-instantly, the amount of recruitable characters is small and it's easy to get them killed before/after recruiting them and generally the game is pretty difficult,

* LuckBasedMission: The "Syndicate Factory" mission is this, it's clearly designed for your more heavily armored/equipped allies to handle most of the mission but the shoddy nature forces you to engage with enemies that can instantly kill your units randomly on the default difficulties from ranges where you can't hope to return fire.

* MoodWhiplash: The story segment where you fight evil clowns that have giant, man-sized candles as supporting units looks positively bizarre in contrast to the Cyberpunk grittiness of corrupt corporations, crime bosses and mutant gangs that comes before and after.

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: Some NPCs give you plot items and activate the exit to a level when talking with them but if your inventory is full when you talk to them, they'll be dropped to the ground, if you don't notice this you can accidently leave without the item and be trapped in a state where the plot can't progress and you can't return to the previous level..

* LuckBasedMisson: The "Syndicate Factory" mission is this, it's clearly designed for your more heavily armored/equipped allies to handle most of the mission but the shoddy nature forces you to engage with enemies that can instantly kill your units randomly on the default difficulties from ranges where you can't hope to return fire.

** Another example is to do with your team-mates. The fastest way to obtain best armour and weapons is to stand aside in every fight until your companions are dead, then loot their equipment and sell it. There’s no punishment for that in the game, and there’ll always be more randomly generated troops for your next mission.

* GangstaStyle: The default way to hold a pistol in the game.

''COPS 2170: The Power of Law'' is a 2004 Cyberpunk RolePlayingGame/TurnBasedTactics hybrid, developed by GFI Russia. The plotline follows a young woman called Katy, who joins her city’s police force in hopes of doing good by [[ByTheBookCop upholding the law]].

** The female squad-members assigned to Katryn can also fufill this trope.

* MiniMecha: There are some powerful mechs equipped with lasers in the game. To make matters worse, they avert ImperialStormtroopersMarksmanshipAcademy and are every bit as accurate as you would expect from a computer system with superhuman reaction time.

''COPS 2170: The Power of Law'' is a 2004 Cyberpunk RolePlayingGame/TurnBasedTactics hybrid, developed by the Russian studio …. The plotline follows a young woman called Katy, who joins her City’s police force in the hope to do good by [[ByTheBookCop upholding the law]].

However, she is soon confronted by the reality of policing in the Hive City she inhabits, and is approached by a secret clique of police officers who abandon the written law entirely and only seek to further their own ends. Things don't stand still while she wrestles with the moral quandaries of that decision, and the struggles between city’s various factions, such as The Syndicate and the local mutants, heat up. Katy can favour one faction over others in her line of duty, which increases her standing with them at the expense of others, and opens up alternate storylines.

* ArtificialStupidity: The enemy AI is pretty good, capable of exploiting cover and line-of-sight ranges to fight pretty effectively. The AI-controlled friendly cops, however, can do no such thing and will frequently just shoot at point-blank or run mindlessly back-and-forth.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: The English translation was no better than that of VideoGame/{{Pathologic}} and VideoGame/ParadiseCracked. The title itself is a great example: the punk rock-like “Power of law” is a mistranslation of ( Власть закона), i.e. the '''rule''' of law.

* EarlyGameHell: Much like in VideoGame/XCom, the early-game armor is no better at protecting your characters than modern "bulletproof" vests. Dying in a single hit is entirely possible.

* KillItWithFire: Like in VideoGame/ParadiseCracked, the studio’s previous project, various incendiary weapons are very popular in 2170. There are guns firing incendiary bullets, incendiary grenades and flamethrowers. There’s a good reason for that, too: characters are soon set on fire and receive hefty amounts of damage every turn.
* MegaCorp: The Syndicate, which are one of the game’s many factions. You can assist them in their goals (like wiping out mutants) increase your standing with them or work with their rivals instead.

* RatStomp: Those rats are mutant, however, and can wield guns as well as anyone else. God help you if you encounter even larger [=RoboRats=] with heavy machine guns…
