Description

Been playing Dope Wars 1987 for a couple months now. It’s basically a retro strategy game where you navigate the gritty urban landscape of the 80s, buying and selling goods to maximize your profits. There’s a real old-school vibe to it, which I’m kinda digging.

Here’s what you do: you buy and sell different products at fluctuating prices, trying to outsmart shady characters and corrupt officials. There’s also a multiplayer mode where you can team up with friends in a clan and raid other players’ bases. It’s pretty fun, takes some strategy but it’s not rocket science.

Look, if you’re into classic strategy games with an 80s twist, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the upgrades take forever at higher levels and the ads can get annoying. But overall it does the job and I’ve been enjoying it. Worth checking out.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on Dope Wars 1987. I've tested a bunch of retro strategy games and this one's actually pretty solid. The gameplay loop of buying low, selling high, and outmaneuvering your opponents is super addictive. And the 80s setting gives it a cool vibe. Now, it's not without its flaws - the progression can get grindy at times and the free-to-play model is a bit aggressive. But if you're looking for an old-school strategy game to sink your teeth into, this one's worth a download.
