What Makes Crime Lords : Mobile Empire Stand Out
Do you have the guts and the brains to survive these crime infested lands, homie?.. Do you have what it takes to be a gangster?
Recruit thugs, street soldiers and convicts with deadly vehicles at their disposal. Build your crew as you dive into the bloody world of cartel fights and turf wars in a bid to raise from the lowly slums of skid row to the apex of the criminal underworld!
Crime Lords is a fun blend of shrewd tower defense strategy and intuitive mobile combat gameplay set in a criminal environment. Plan, play and outwit your opponents at every turn as you pit against players from across the globe.
► Protect your Hood!
Build an impregnable neighbourhood by exacting defense turrets, upgrading structures, hiring powerful lieutenants and deploying hidden traps to crush rival trespassers to dust!
► Get powerful Lieutenant cards
Tactical nukes, Shadow strikes, Turbocharged crew, cloaking devices, you name it! These powerful lieutenants ranging from ex-military to wanted convicts offer their mercenary gangster services to only those they deem worthy! …And to anyone who pays them some money!
► Recruit a crew
Recruit and upgrade more than 10 unique troops from thugs to hummers and gunners to choppers and build your wreak havocking crew.
► Play against real people in real time
Join millions of players as you form fierce rivalries and lasting friendships in your quest for power and reputation.
► Complete a thrilling underworld campaign
Fight your way through 7 sinister and at times goofy villains as you take on their turfs making your way to the top of the gangster chain.
