Play Riot: Civil Unrest a month before release at the PC Gamer Weekender

Riot Civil Unrest

Riot is an upcoming strategy game that takes a gritty, uncompromising look at social strife. You can play as the police or rioters across a number of real-world protests. As the police you wield crowd-control tactics of varying severity against protesters. As the rioters you can command leaders, agitators, rioters and journalists. Crowd charges and retreats must be handled tactically in fraught situations, depicted in a gorgeous pixel-sprite style.

We'll also have a hardware zone full of cutting edge new tech, and a mod-shop where you can learn PC-building techniques. We'll also be running drop-in tournaments where prizes can be won, and we'll be there, too. Join us! Book now to secure your place, save money on the door price and grab a free copy of Dustforce while you're at it.
