Life in prison is fraught with challenges, a reality that the newly released simulator, Prison Gang Wars, seeks to encapsulate in an engaging and colorful format. Available now on both iOS and Android, this game offers players a chance to delve into the complexities and perils of prison life.
Prison Gang Wars blends elements of a turn-based RPG with the gritty atmosphere of incarceration. Players will navigate an overworld set within the prison, engaging with the intricate web of factions and politics that govern daily life behind bars. The game alternates between exploration and intense, turn-based combat with other inmates, reflecting the constant tension and potential for violence within the prison environment.
Unlike traditional action games like 'Double Dragon,' Prison Gang Wars adopts a tycoon-style approach to the inmate experience. Players work to build and expand their gang's influence within the prison, forging alliances with other prisoners, guards, and even contacts on the outside. Smuggling, dealing, and other illicit activities are central to gaining favor and control over different sections of the prison.
While Prison Gang Wars draws inspiration from real-world prison dynamics, it also takes creative liberties to enhance entertainment value. The game is not a direct reflection of documentary-style portrayals like Ashley Cain's Into The Danger Zone, but rather a unique blend of authenticity and gameplay. It promises to offer a distinct experience from other incarceration simulators, providing both chilling and thrilling moments as players navigate the treacherous landscape of prison gang warfare.
