When the streets knock, you open the door... figuratively.
Dope Wars - The Dopest:
The classic buy-low-sell-high hustle, rebuilt from scratch with gorgeous 2D city art, animated weather, and more strategic depth than any Dope Wars game before it. If you remember playing this in computer class when the teacher wasn't looking — welcome back. It's never been this good.
YOUR EMPIRE STARTS WITH $2,000
You've got $2K in cash and $5,500 in debt to a very impatient Loan Shark. Thirty days. Six cities. Nine goods with prices that shift every day. Pay off the debt, stack your fortune, and try not to get wasted in the process. No pressure.
TRADE ROUTES, NOT GUESSWORK
This isn't random button mashing. Each of the 6 cities has unique price modifiers — product is cheap in Miami but expensive in New York, and vice versa. Study the markets. Learn the routes. Move fast before prices shift. Every run plays different.
6 CITIES WITH REAL PERSONALITY
New York (The Concrete Jungle), Los Angeles (Hollywood Dreams), Chicago (Deep Dish Territory), Miami (Vice City), Detroit (Rust Belt Empire), Las Vegas (What Happens Here...). Hand-drawn 2D backgrounds with rain, fog, and day/night cycles. These aren't just menus — they're places.
THE HEAT GETS WORSE EVERY DAY
Cops start at 6% encounter rate and climb 0.5% every single day. Day 1, you're sidestepping Officer Hardass. By Day 25, you're running from Interpol. Buy a gun. Grab bribe money. Or just be faster than the guy next to you.
RUN YOUR OPERATION
• Bank your profits before the streets take them back
