News::Developer of Apple-banned Endgame: Syria takes on the Drug War in NarcoGuerra

The global War on Drugs is the four-decade-long policy of many Western governments, including the U.S. and Mexico, to stamp out the supply of narcotics. Now, developer Auroch Digital from GameTheNews.net is exploring the conflict with a new title for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. NarcoGuerra is a strategy title that puts players in the role of the Mexican government. Using mechanics similar to the board game Risk, you must try to find and destroy drug cartels in a never-ending battle. Weve built a simulation based on our research about the reality of the War on Drugs, NarcoGuerra lead designer Tomas Rawlings told GamesBeat. [The game shows] how corruption and street price ebb and flow with police actions. Its up to the player from there [to decide] what they get out of the game, but most gamers I come across are smart people. I think theyll figure out that to win this war to have to understand its not a war in any conventional sense at all.
