Life inside prison is inherently challenging, a reality that the newly-released simulator, Prison Gang Wars, seeks to authentically replicate while adding a colorful twist. Available now on iOS and Android, this game invites players to dive into the complex world of prison life, balancing overworld exploration with intense, turn-based battles.
At its core, Prison Gang Wars is a unique blend of turn-based RPG and tycoon game. Players navigate the prison's overworld, engaging with various factions and the political landscape of prison life. The gameplay includes strategic turn-based combat against other inmates, as well as engaging in smuggling, dealing, and other illicit activities. Success hinges on gaining favor and influence among the different factions that control the prison's various sections.
Unlike traditional action games like Double Dragon, Prison Gang Wars adopts a more tycoon-esque approach. Players work to grow their gang, forging connections with other prisoners, guards, and even the outside world to make their incarcerated life more bearable and advantageous.

The game's focus on navigating gang warfare and the daily perils of prison life ensures a thrilling and chilling experience.
