Comments on Dope Wars 1987 for Android

★★★★★ Gerald Washburn · Feb 12, 2026
Pretty good, I like it. It's simple yet fun, nice artwork, high stakes. It could use another mode or two for replayability; like an endless mode or an extra hard mode.
★★★★★ bjost80 · Oct 12, 2025
This is the perfect homage to the old school Dope War games from the 80s. The art style has a vintage flare. The narrative has a sense of humor. The gameplay is simple, straight forward, and addictive. I'm excited to see what the developer will add in the future. This is an absolute steal for a buck.
★★★★★ Sunny DeHart · Jun 8, 2025
Is it by mere chance that this drug dealing game is so addictive? Methinks not. Quit shaking me down, coppers!
★☆☆☆☆ Ben Craig · Jun 30, 2025
Outwit? You mean random fail rolls? So witty
★☆☆☆☆ Jeran Fox · Sep 7, 2026
It's the trading game and I like trading games but that's ALL it is. there is no defense. Random actions can happen to you, but you can't defend against them. No weapons for you weapons for them. Also if you don't like it this game is "outside googles refund policy" so waste of a dollar for me. Edited to 1 star. You can't defend and when you're doing good and a random event happens and carrying any amount. You can attack which I've never seen work, or surrender and lose all your money.
