CTU: Counter Terrorism Unit
A 2016 tactical co-op shooter that trades polish for niche appeal, snake cam gadgets and five-player raids sound fun until you hit the jank.
GamerScout Verdict
Experimental co-op shooter with clever gadget mechanics but dated execution, try with a committed squad or skip.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About CTU: Counter Terrorism Unit
I went in expecting a tactical Counter-Strike flavored experience, but CTU is more experimental than that. You lead squads through arrest-focused missions with gadgets like snake cameras for reconnaissance, which is a genuinely interesting layer most shooters skip. The five-player co-op backbone is solid in theory, and workshop support suggests the community could flesh out content. Here's the problem: the 2016 production values show everywhere. Hit registration feels loose, AI teammates lack nuance, and the mission variety dries up fast. It's playable in groups if everyone's on voice comms and patience is high, but there's nothing here that makes it worth grinding through the rough edges when competitors like Insurgency or Ready or Not exist. Niche appeal for tactical co-op diehards willing to overlook technical debt.
