## What is RIOT?

RIOT’s creator, Leonard Menchiari, experienced rioting first-hand at the NoTAV protests in Italy. He created the game to tell the stories and express the feelings experienced during these clashes. What triggers the crowd to behave with such anger and aggression? Often outnumbered, what does a police officer feel like during the conflict? RIOT presents the player with the opportunity to experience both sides of the fight - a fight in which there really are no winners. Who is right and who is wrong? Experience RIOT and draw your own conclusions.

It is up to you to choose how to tackle each situation, employing different strategies and tactics in order to achieve the perfect outcome. Discover if you can dispel an angry crowd or overcome a well-equipped militia as civil crisis deepens and corruption tears the very fabric of society.

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2026-07-23*

1. BLM campaign. 2. Vehicles like a riot truck with water cannons and tear gas for the cops, not sure for the rioters. 3. A second ranged unit, Molotov throwers and beanbag shotguns. 4. The ? button gets renamed How To Play. 5. A leader that increases persistence around them. 6. The people with their hands-up now hold signs instead. 7. The hands-up gesture is now for surrendering people and police actually come and arrest them. That’s it for now.

### 4/5 — The Graphic

*2026-03-26, version 1.0*

Is very good but make riot have molotov and having DIY smoke and firecracker

### 4/5 — I want more maps

*2026-01-09*

By all means, this game is great, but same issue from my previous phone. They still run away. But 1 thing I would want the most is “MORE” Maps, pleeeassee add more maps or even custom maps.
But I totally get it if it’s based on real events and there’s no other places riots took place, it’s ok. But I am looking forward to more maps. -Jerahmaia
