Prison Gang Wars has just hit the shelves on iOS and Android, delivering an immersive GTA-like experience that plunges you straight into the gritty world of prison life. With no hope of parole on the horizon, you're equipped only with your wits and the iconic orange scrubs as you navigate the challenges of incarceration.
The game mirrors real-world prison dynamics, where your sentence marks the start of a new, harsh reality. Enlisted by a gang, you'll start as a lackey, tasked with smuggling and managing contraband to stash and later distribute among inmates. But it's not easy; fellow convicts might not always be willing to pay, leading to inevitable conflicts.
In this environment, money is scarce. You'll need to make transactions using rations like noodles and any cash you can wire from external bank accounts to your prison credit.
**Strife. Strategy. Survival!**
Engage in fierce battles with rival groups to assert dominance over the prison map, bolstering your gang's loyalty. As you gain trust and make enemies, you'll climb the ranks, discovering who controls which areas and strategizing to disrupt their operations and impose your own taxes.
Territory, valuables, and currency fuel tensions between gangs, often sparking brawls, grudges, or full-scale wars. Survive a riot, and you'll face searches for contraband and weapons by officers—make sure your hiding spots are secure!
You'll face tough decisions at inconvenient times. For instance, if a gang member needs your help in a fight while you're carrying contraband, do you risk losing your stash to assist, or walk away and suffer a reputation hit?
Manage your gang through planned interactions, while also looking after your own needs with commissary meals, family visits, and contraband tattoos.

**The Research Behind Prison Gang Wars**
Life behind bars is more complex than what's typically shown on TV. To create an authentic yet engaging experience, the developers of Prison Gang Wars delved into nine books, scoured prison forums, and watched hours of documentaries and videos from ex-convicts. This meticulous research has resulted in a gritty, well-developed game centered around strife, strategy, and survival.
Prison Gang Wars stands out with its vibrant, nostalgic comic-book style, featuring deep shading and 3D isometric models. This carefully crafted aesthetic transforms the game into more than just a tactical combat simulator. With cutscenes and a loose narrative woven through meaningful interactions, it offers a taste of prison life without the need for real-world crime.
Be sure to check out Prison Gang Wars on Google Play or the App Store for an authentic and gripping prison experience.
