Reading the interview with Moondog about the importance of planning in preparing for airsoft events is apt for this game. No matter how we look awesome in our loadout, no matter how well we shoot, and no matter how fit we are, as long as we enter a strategic or tactical situation without a plan, we will lose an airsoft game, and if it were real life, we will lose even our own lives.

Some of us will say that at when first contact happens, the plan goes out of the window. It can be true, but a good plan allows for some leeway for improvisation or organised chaos and of course options so there are more than one way to accomplish an objective. Thus, planning, couple with practice, lots of practice always make a team up to the task for a mission.

Door Kickers can help you develop that tactical planning skills, and have fun whilst playing a video game. Sometimes, it's good to have these types of games so when you're not out there in the field playing airsoft, you can play Door Kickers go into CQB scenarios and try to imagine some airsoft CQB situation where you did wrong. Door Kickers can also give you the scenarios that you may likely encounter also in real CQB actions and you can immediately select the best course of action.

In this game, you control a SWAT Team and in you can plan your approach towards an objective, select weapons, and coordinate different members of the team. It is still in Alpha Mode, which means, it's in its most unpolished, and buggiest stage. The developers are relying on crowdfunding and the good thing for those who pay an early price of US$7.99, they get to download and play the game whilst being guinea pigs as the developers work on the code to finally have a full version 1 release. The prices for pledges are not expensive so you can select which of the funding options you want to pledge to get this game out of the door.

The game for now is being developed for the PC (MS Windows) with plans for Mac OS and Linux desktop operating systems and perhaps the iOS and Android mobile operating systems.

Door Kickers may be going up against another strategy game, which Optimus Prime have written about --- Breach & Clear, through the latter is clearly made for the tablet computer.  But if and when Door Kickers Tablet version comes out, then that's where we'll find which one will win the hearts of gamers.
