Why these five

Steam bundles COP BASTARD with Maximum Action, Better Than Dead, and RoboCop: Rogue City, among others. A bundle is a marketing connection, not proof that the games play identically. In the Reddit launch thread the developer says he likes Maximum Action, Max Payne, and F.E.A.R.; his separate naming post cites John Woo films. CULTIC’s developer Jasozz left a congratulations on the launch thread. A Steam review puts the gunfeel “up there with Trepang2,” which is one player’s comparison rather than a measured ranking.

Like DOOM, or not

Search mixes the name with DOOM. Hitbox and the store page describe authored corridors, not arena waves. The spit-or-slow-mo choice is this game’s meter, not a DOOM glory kill. If you want that meter and a short Osaka campaign, stay here. If you want procedural ships, that is Void Bastards, a different game.

Questions

Is COP BASTARD like DOOM?

Only at the level of “first-person guns.” The store page sells corridors and a charge meter, not arena combat.

Is it closer to CULTIC?

Both are retro-style first-person shooters, but CULTIC’s horror and cult setting differs from Osaka crime-film action. This is an editorial comparison, not a length or quality ranking.
