State of Emergency

State of Emergency is a beat 'em up where you pick from five characters—ex-gang member, corrupt cop, convict, lawyer, or orphan—and complete missions across a riot-torn city. Objectives shift between rescuing targets, assassinations, and demolition runs. Combat uses firearms like shotguns and machine guns, but you can also grab environmental objects—trash cans, chairs, furniture—and weaponize them against gangs, extremists, and corporate security. As fights intensify, improvising with your surroundings becomes essential. The setting is urban chaos with hundreds of NPCs crowding streets during civil unrest. Each character brings different motivations to the disorder, though gameplay mechanics stay consistent across all five. It's straightforward arcade-style brawling with guns and throwable props, not a deep narrative experience.
