Developer Giant Enemy Crab’s Due Process – a tactical FPS “where tactics finally matter” – is now available in Steam early access.
Due Process, which is published by the ever-reliable Annapurna Interactive, always begins with a distinctive planning phase in which each five-person team can scribble potential tactical approaches to their current objective – either revolving around offence or defense – directly onto the map, as seen from an overhead perspective.
From there, its down to ground level – where a team’s earlier tactical scribbling remains visible throughout – to execute that plan over three rounds, adjusting as required, in tense bouts of first-person shooting with a strong focus on communication and teamwork.

Notably, Due Process’ two asymmetrical factions promote “radically different” play-styles. The Argus Enforcers, for instance, are a corporate military force armed with top-tier tactical gear and weapons that emphasise “speed, surprise, and violence of action”. The Defenders, meanwhile, are outlaws equipped with rudimentary weapons and gear that prioritise cunning and traps.
