YMMV / COPS 2170: The Power of Law

• Nintendo Hard: Enemy robots can wipe out characters near-instantly, the amount of recruitable characters is small and it's easy to get them killed before/after recruiting them and generally the game is pretty difficult,
• That One Level:
  • The Syndicate Robot factory is a very poorly designed blood bath, it's clear the "intended" way for the level to progress is for the armored allies to clear the way for you but in practice they usually die without accomplishing much, leaving you to fight deadly robots that can instantly kill members of your squad with their overpowered weaponry alone, worse still is that one of the dumb AI allies, Fich, can be recruited later so you're down one of your limited party members for the rest of the game if you don't save him here.
  • Interstate 44 is outright luckbased as there's no consistent way to avoid getting blown up by the gods of war on turn 1 outside of playing on the easiest difficulty in the original version which reduces the number of god of war robots to 2, then saving before exiting the police station and loading that save until they both spawn on the further away platforms.
