What Makes Zaptiye Stand Out
- Open World
Crime fighting in the city of Constantinople in 19th century. Delightful open world environment with different types of quests, pedestrians, criminals, horses, and allies.
- Role Playing
Develop your character with lots of items, guns, armors, and skills. Fight against theft, creeds, gangs, and assassins in Istanbul. Collect money and experience points as you progress, and spend them in a way that your character suits you. Protect the Order of the Ottoman.
- Storyline and Side quests
Roam around the city to gather intel on main quest missions, test yourself in challenging parkours on the rooftops, clear each territory from bandits and outlaws.
- Firearms and knives
Use different types of revolvers to shoot down your enemies, or choose a silent approach, go undercover and assassinate your enemies with knife throwing, or melee attacks.
- Vehicles and Horse riding
Different autonomous vehicles roam around the map, and rideable horses can be found on the streets. You may choose to spend your experience points to learn horse riding skills to trample enemies, and even fire while riding fast.
- Informative Map
Your map shows missions, vehicles, shops, places, roads and passages in the city. You can put marks on your map and then follow the compass through the destination.
- Historical Atmosphere
The game takes place in 19th century, the age of the great Sultan Abdulhamid of the Ottoman Empire. Just before the World War 1. Characters, costumes, historical places, and the architecture will take you to the past.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game is amazing. We appreciate how it brings back the Islamic Ottoman culture. The only suggestion we have is to bring back the full adhan. It only ends in Ahadu anla ilaha ilallah.
This is really good and for rdr players who want a rdr mobile spin-off sorta.
The game, according to its story, is more suitable for the Arabic language. We hope you return the Arabic language as soon as possible. We don't understand the story without the Arabic language. We hope you add the language and thank you.
We did not expect this game to be so fun. But we gave it a try anyway and its really really fun. Worth playing.
Oyunu sevdim 3 gndr oyniyorum teknenin iinde eytan resimleri gordum at arabasnda da onun gibi eyler var lutfen avrupa oyunlar gibi eyler yapmayn zaten ocouklarda kokuyor kaldrn o eyleri lutfen NALLAH duzeltirsiniz.
We were impressed with how competently the open world is designed. The story missions that take place outside the open world in specialized levels are the real highlight of the game, and demonstrate creativity and variety. This game shows a lot of hard work and talent. The 1 enemy type gets repetitive, but having them show up in different locations with varied tactical significance helps stretch out their entertainment value. Player has to often make simple but quick decisions about whether or how to fight and loot enemies at different elevations. Use of carriages to elevate and move enemies is great way to make the same enemy feel different. We really like how the world is built for platforming, which adds challenge to exploration, racing missions, and combat. However the jumping and ledge grabbing feels imprecise and awkward to control. We hope that gets fine tuned. Good variety to the open world missions, but they do eventually get repetitive, especially late game when player is required to repeat several open world missions between the unique story missions. That hurts pacing. We started to get bored grinding toward the next story mission. The combat targeting system is unusual but works well and rather fun after we got used to it. The mobility loss during targeting and reloading is just enough to get the player shot, forcing choice between evasion and other actions. The 2 weapon types are meaningfully different and give player good reason to toggle them in battle. Mounted combat is definitely useful in the right situations, but since it's harder to control, it doesn't eclipse fighting on foot. Some player upgrades, like knife range and reload speed fit very well in the combat system, and feel more useful than in other games with similar upgrades. The slow motion upgrade feels weak compared to those in other games, since the player's targeting system is too slow to benefit. If the target system allowed queuing attacks, or if the player could act faster in in slow motion, then this ability would be worth upgrading. Much of the English text needs editing to feel natural. The mission descriptions for the repeated "fighting gangs" missions have an amusing pattern, but feel too forced and often barely make sense.
This game is really good. It would be a cool experience if there was a zombie mode.
We love the game the story was absolutely amazing and the graphics were really good but the problem is the story is way too short we think you should continue the story.
We had no idea about this game till we saw it on a video. For a no name developer (no shade) this is actually a fun game. The atmosphere really works, it makes you feel like its old Istanbul. The story telling works well with just the pictures and no commentary.The action is pretty fun as also. Our only criticism is we think there should be auto aim so that u wont have to put both thumbs all over the screen trying to aim at enemies. It still manages to be fun because u kill enemies with one shot and they fall literally like rag dolls ( its kind of hilarious). Hopefully the developer sees this, please add an auto aim. Other wise its a fun game. Keep adding content.
Its great to play the game over all, but most of the time when we try to do a mission it lags us out of the app. We hope you can fix this bug in the future, thanks.
Excellent idea, great execution. This game brings 19th century Istanbul to life. Game works smoothly on iPhone 6.
