Premise and setting
Polis is a tactical crime-investigation title set in contemporary Sweden. You act as the head of a homicide squad, guiding your team through three separate murder investigations presented across distinct acts. The goal is to unravel each case by collecting proof, interrogating suspects, and assembling a convincing case file.
Gameplay mechanics
The experience emphasizes careful planning and resource management. You'll assign detectives to search locations, prioritize leads, and decide when to confront witnesses. Interrogations are a key mechanic — asking the right questions and using gathered evidence at the right time can break a case open. Efficient use of personnel and smart timing are essential to close each investigation successfully.
The three investigations
- Det blåa fallet — A case with unexpected twists that tests your ability to connect disparate clues.
- Det röda fallet — A more personal investigation with high-stakes interviews and close scrutiny of alibis.
- Det gula fallet — An intricate plot full of red herrings that rewards methodical evidence-gathering.
Alternative recommendation
If you prefer a different tactical experience, consider Commandos 3: Destination Berlin (paid). It swaps investigative strategy for real-time tactical stealth and squad-based missions, offering a contrasting but still strategic challenge.
