Navigating the harsh realities of prison life can be a daunting challenge, and translating that into a gaming experience is no small feat. However, the newly-released simulator, Prison Gang Wars, offers a vibrant yet authentic take on the daily perils of incarceration. Available now on iOS and Android, this game invites you to immerse yourself in the gritty world of prison politics and gang warfare.
At its core, Prison Gang Wars is a unique blend of turn-based RPG and simulator. Players will explore an overworld set within the confines of the penitentiary, navigating the complex web of prison factions and politics. The gameplay oscillates between strategic overworld exploration and intense, turn-based battles against rival inmates. Your success hinges on your ability to engage in smuggling, dealing, and other illicit activities, all while currying favor and influence among the various factions that control different sections of the prison.
Rather than a straightforward action game like 'Double Dragon,' Prison Gang Wars adopts a more tycoon-like approach to life behind bars. You'll work to build your gang's dominance in the yard, forging alliances with other inmates, guards, and even contacts in the outside world to make your time in prison as comfortable and influential as possible.
Like Runescape, but with more shivsWhile rooted in real-world prison dynamics, Prison Gang Wars takes creative liberties to enhance entertainment value. It's not a documentary-style simulation like Ashley Cain's Into The Danger Zone, but it still manages to capture the essence of prison life with enough authenticity to set it apart from other incarceration-themed games. The thrill of navigating gang warfare and the constant threat of daily prison dangers promise a chilling yet exhilarating experience.
