A tower defense FPS hybrid about placing defenses and gunning down waves.
SWAT 4
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A tactical police shooter where careful, methodical tactics against randomized threats defines mastery.
Iron Grip: Warlord leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); SWAT 4 leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

SWAT 4
tactics and equipment loadouts solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
