I lean up against the door, using my scanner to determine who or what might be waiting for me on the other side. I pull out my plan of the building - this is definitely where the hostage is being kept, but I can't tell how many goons might be guarding them. I open the door ajar - just enough to let a silver of light into the room, but not enough to attract any attention - and lob in a flashbang, hoping it'll buy me enough time to save the hostage.
All of this happens from a top-down perspective, because Phantom Squad opts to let you experience its co-op tactical shooter gameplay in a manner reminiscent of Hotline Miami. Melee enemies rush towards you, making them relatively easy to pick off in your special ops gear, but those armed with guns will carefully seek you out, so it's up to you to find a shot before they can spot you.
