Our take on Prison Wars
The bounce point arrives when survival depends on locating ammunition, first-aid items and keys while avoiding death. Players looking for complex shooter systems or a broad campaign may also stop at the deliberately simple structure of three prison locations.
What is Prison Wars?
Play as Floyd, a prisoner, in a 3D shooter set across three large prison locations.
Each area has a different difficulty level, and progression depends on surviving encounters with enemies ranging from ordinary prisoners to prison bosses. Ammunition, first-aid items and keys can be found during each stage and are used to continue through the levels. The game presents direct, simple action with an old-school visual style, varied enemy types and large environments. Its structure centers on moving through the locations without dying while searching for the items needed to advance.
