Life in prison is notoriously challenging, and capturing that experience for entertainment can be equally demanding. Prison Gang Wars, a newly-released simulator, offers a vibrant yet authentic portrayal of prison life, and it's now available for you to dive into on iOS and Android.
This game uniquely blends elements of a turn-based RPG with the gritty realities of prison life. You'll navigate an overworld set within the prison, engaging with its complex factions and politics. From time to time, you'll participate in intense, turn-based battles with fellow inmates. The game also involves smuggling, dealing, and other illicit activities, which hinge on gaining favor and influence among various prison factions.
Unlike action-packed games like Double Dragon, Prison Gang Wars leans more towards a tycoon-style experience. Your mission is to build and expand your gang, forging alliances with other prisoners, guards, and even contacts outside the prison walls to make your life behind bars as comfortable as possible.
While inspired by real-world prison dynamics, Prison Gang Wars takes creative liberties to ensure an engaging gameplay experience. It's not a documentary like Ashley Cain's Into The Danger Zone, so set your expectations accordingly. However, the game still delivers a compelling blend of authenticity and entertainment, making it stand out among other incarceration simulators. Navigating the intricate web of prison gang warfare and managing the daily perils of prison life promises to be both chilling and thrilling.
