This game inspired me to create my own narcotics trade in real life just like my best mate Pablo! Update: I got arrested, cops are no fun :(

Really LOVE this game. But the AI/Enemy/other Cartels having zero operations to disrupt............. Whats the point then? As long as you understand this and are ok with a literal cheating AI, then buy it. Yes you can handle them no problem. But burning down one of their buildings or taking it over...... Means NOTHING. Because of this its VERY un-fun and unrealistic.

The game is great, anyone who says the game is bad or says the terror system is broken obviously just doesn't understand how it all works. Hope they keep making content for the game.

The game offers a fun experience and represents an innovation in the world of management games. However, the challenge it presents can be considered quite demanding, although it may be somewhat unbalanced. At the beginning of the game, you are faced with the challenge of managing the needs of the characters with limited financial resources, which can be quite challenging. However, as you progress and obtain higher-level products, you may experience a reversal of the situation, with a surplus of money and the difficulty of deciding how to best use it. This aspect of the game can be compared to the situation of the famous Pablo Escobar, who eventually had so much money that he didn't know where to put it. Despite these challenges, I believe they are an integral part of the gaming experience and contribute to making it interesting. Furthermore, the game has the potential to become even better with developer support through the addition of new content and improvements. Ultimately, it's a management game that deserves attention, especially considering its affordable price.
