Life in prison is notoriously challenging, and capturing that reality for entertainment purposes is no small feat. However, the newly-released simulator Prison Gang Wars offers a vibrant yet authentic portrayal of the daily struggles and dangers of prison life. Available now on both iOS and Android, this game lets you dive into the world behind bars and experience it firsthand.
Prison Gang Wars uniquely blends elements of a turn-based RPG with the gritty reality of prison life. As you navigate the overworld within the prison, you'll engage with the complex web of factions and politics that define the inmate hierarchy. At times, you'll find yourself in intense, turn-based battles with other prisoners, adding a layer of strategic combat to the experience. Smuggling, dealing, and other illicit activities are key to gaining favor and influence among the various factions that control different sections of the prison.
Unlike typical action games like Double Dragon, Prison Gang Wars leans more towards a tycoon-style simulation of prison life. Your mission is to grow your gang's dominance over the yard. You'll forge connections not only with fellow inmates but also with guards and even the outside world, striving to make your time behind bars as comfortable as possible.
Like Runescape, but with more shivs While Prison Gang Wars draws inspiration from real-world prison dynamics, it creatively adapts these elements for entertainment. The game isn't a documentary-style depiction like Ashley Cain's Into The Danger Zone, but it still promises an engaging experience. With its unique blend of authenticity and entertainment, navigating the treacherous landscape of prison gangs and daily survival is bound to be both chilling and thrilling.
