What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Door Kickers 2 is planned with a very large scope, and will be your go-to tactics/strategy game for many years to come!
And after you've finished all the content we created ourselves, you'll be able to add many more years of gameplay by means of complete modding control.
This comes with great complexity and a huge amount of man-hours.

We're a very small team and we simply can't deliver this amount of work without your help.
That's where we need you, the community, to help us prioritize features and iron out the gameplay wrinkles, just as you have done during the DK1 development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game has been in Early Access since End-of-2020, and we plan to exit Early Access this year - in 2024 - most likely in the 2nd part of the year.

We plan to support the game afterwards, too.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Full version of the game will have the following overall scope:
  • 90-100 Handcrafted Single Missions, most of which can also be played in 2-4 Player Coop Multiplayer
  • Mission and location generator for unlimited gameplay
  • 2 Campaign-style Game Modes: Tour of Duty and Operations
  • Steam Workshop Support
  • 3 Playable Units / 10 Trooper Classes with new gameplay options and styles
  • over 60 weapons and pieces of usable gear
  • Night missions, infiltration and undercover work
  • 12-16 Enemies and NPCs including Third-Actor Spec Ops and Agents
  • New locations and environments

Currently only missions are available in Steam Workshop via the in-game mission editor. Full Steam Workshop Support is in beta testing and will be added with the full release of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of the game comes with Single Missions and Coop Multiplayer and contains the following:
  • 69 Missions
  • Online Coop for 2-4 players
  • Full Blown Mission Editor and Steam Workshop support
  • Random mission generator
  • 3 Playable Units with 10 Trooper Classes
  • 50+ weapons and pieces of gear
  • 8+ Enemies and NPC types

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price has now reached the intended threshold ($25) and will no longer be increased.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are present on our games Steam forums almost 24/7 and timely respond to feedback, concerns and player needs. The game contains a prominently placed "Send Feedback" button which we encourage players to use. We personally respond to feedback on an almost daily basis.
You can also find us in real time on our discord channel: ”

About This Game

“Charge set”, my Alpha Team leader said.

Not knowing what lay in wait for us behind the door, I commanded, “Burn it” into the radio.

“Burning”, he replied. Sliding his finger into the pull ring of the ignition system, he pushed the pin in, turned it a quarter turn, and pulled.

The night was no longer silent as the sound of shredding timber filled the night. Windows shattered and pieces of glass fell to the ground. The walls around me shook. Where a door once stood, only smoke remained. Like water bursting forth from a dam, men flowed into the unknown.

--- from “Violence of Action” by Marty Skovlund


The sequel to the hit tactics game Door Kickers, Task Force North brings you the best portrayal of modern Close Quarters Combat and Tactics in a video game.

Control Special Operation Units in daring raids to rescue hostages, neutralize and capture terrorists in the fictional country of Nowheraki, Middle East.

Top-down tactics with Real Time gameplay but pause-at-will allows you to think, rethink, and still bite your nails as the action happens. And there's no turns, hexes or action points to manage. 

The game models deadly threats and techs: suicide bombers, IEDs and Rocket-Propelled Grenades - but gives you tools to dominate: Light Machine Guns for suppressive fire, Night Vision Goggles to own the night and wall breaching charges to open new entry points.

Destructible environment lets you progress through the non-linear levels. If something stands in your way, tear it down! Any strategy is viable.

You can even choose the unit to deploy for any mission:

  • U.S. Army Rangers - firepower, numbers and skilled, coordinated violence.

  • CIA Special Activities Division - small unit of Covert Operators, able to go undercover but also deliver surgical strikes when needed.

  • Nowheraki SWAT - grit, improvised tech and gear borrowed from their US advisors.

It's NOT  just skins and weapons, but distinct playing style, abilities and unit doctrines.

Should there be more units? Tell us what YOU think!

Play unique, hand crafted Operations or endless, procedural generated Tours of Duty. Each has their own challenges and rewards. For the bravest, mix it with the optional Iron Man Mode: troopers lost during campaign missions are gone forever.

Dead stays dead*, but memories are forever!

*only in Iron Man mode.

Online Co-Op Multiplayer is available, for up to 4 players. Each player brings his own Squad but you must work together to complete your mission. Choose your gear, draw your plans, strategize and combine your tactical prowess! In the end, you win or lose together.

Door Kickers 2 comes with over 90 handcrafted missions, plus Handcrafted and Generated Campaigns, Random Mission Generator and a Full-blown Mission & Level Editor to create your own content.

And you can share it with the world, or enjoy what others have built: The Steam Workshop already hosts over 7000 missions and is now open for Custom Units, Total Conversions and all sorts of wild stuff our modders are famous for.

With full SteamDeck compatibility and custom touch screen controls, you can play Door Kickers 2 anywhere! Enjoy unparalleled strategical freedom both ingame and in real life!
