Dopewars: Traphouse

★★★★★ So, I flubbed a little on my rating. Yes, the controls could be a little more responsive and the graphics are just about nonexistent, but this title deserves a five star for creativity alone. With a little imagination, Trap House becomes a very specific and in depth look at drug dealing in squalor, a point of view that sets it apart from the crowd. Automatically, fans of the Dope Wars games will be right at home here. The gist is all about acquiring a drug stash while prices are low and flipping a profit on a never ending line of customers wanting their fixes. Yet, fans of Dope Wars (especially the classic version) will appreciate more rewards for their hard earned cash to spend on. As a matter of fact, the reward system is a big portion of the game that I was attracted to. Just like bait, the RPG aspect of the game hooked me and I found myself being reeled in by the promises of better clients, bigger product, and better traps. The genius of Trap Wars is its presentation and its voice. Dozens of strategy/RPG crime based titles are quick to reward players with celebrity status gangster personas. After just a few hours worth of grind, a majority of said games shower players with multiple cars, a military grade arsenal of weaponry, and more millions than we know what to do with. Trap Wars sets itself apart by rewarding the patient player. The player that dedicates themselves to the grind, which I feel represents life a little more honestly. Narrowing the drug peddling game to just "trapping" and focusing on the crack dealer/producer, I experienced a grittier and grimier play through that I hardly am ever treated to. I really feel like the zoomed lens on this tiny corner of drug dealing will later define future crime based RPG's. I feel like the Grand Theft Auto series has fulfilled "the world is yours" fantasies. Dope Wars: Trap House grounds those pipe dreams and brings the game back to your hood and your block. It's a fresh change of pace. I very much look forward to future projects by the team or individual behind this. Dope Wars: Trap House gives a new voice to crime based video gaming and proves that the formula can be ultra realistic AND entertaining. Keep up the good work.

★★★★★ I like it. But 30 mins into it I'm making millions at all my trap house's with everything paid for. Great start to the game though. Can't wait for more things to do. Different varieties of product to sell. And more things to do. Has a lot of potential. Great work.

★★☆☆☆ Great game but 10 minutes in it started force closing. Game is now unplayable. Will rate higher when im able to acutally play

★★☆☆☆ Game kept force closing on its own.

★★☆☆☆ actuallly such a shame!! played this game for the past year now. nice game lots to do - very little ads. after the latest update you LITERALLY cannot play. every 3 maybe 4 clicks theres an advertisement. what a wasted potential. could have updated content but nope lets make ads to the extreme.

★★☆☆☆ Got hooked within half hour, great game then it started crashing within seconds of opening. Unplayable, does nothing but crash and force close.
