Could be better

I can’t play the game because it’s way too short and you have to pay just to play unlimited which is dumb because we installed the game to enjoy it not be stopped bc we have a limit of days

Dope Wars!!

10 stars if I could. This is an excellent spin off of the old beta classic. I haven’t been able to find an outstanding version of the original until now. I’m so beyond happy that I stumbled across this game. Brings back so many memories of playing the beta version for hours just to pass time by and to keep my memory sharp. It’s no different than the real deal only better. Has there been an international version made? If not then why wait? If so then point me in the right direction!! I’ve got a few of my friends to download and play..they’re hooked on it now. I play anytime I get some downtime. I love it!!!!

Fantastic

Great game!
Awesome graphics

Very buggy

I enjoy the game and want to give it 5 stars but it is very buggy, looks like there is a memory leak and after a few games it just lags. Please fix the bugs, it’s really a great game.

Response from developer

Really appreciate you sticking with the game despite the issues, Patrick. If you could email me at tenukisoftware@gmail.com with some more information, I’d love to dig into this

Old School Game - So glad I found it!

I have always loved Dope Wars. It’s a fun game to play and mix time go by fast. It also requires you to remember some things and also be a little witty and strategic about it. Really glad to have found this version. It’s super helpful and a lot of fun. I have burned through a few hours while I’ve had some downtime messing around with it, and it’s even better than I remember.

Love hearing this. The original had a special kind of magic, so I'm thrilled this version could bring those memories back. Thanks for playing!

Fun game

It could use a lil changing but best one I’ve found so far hands down

Response from developer

I’ll happily take “best one I’ve found so far” 😄 If there’s anything you’d tweak, let me know!

Add more to the game

Too many limitations. Add more options to purchase bags, weapons and security like the classic game.

You’re going to die no matter what

2 days in and I’ve been either killed by the loan shark or the cops.

Worth it

Dope

Laggy then hangs

I bought the upgrades then it started to lag and eventually I can’t get past the splash screen. Even after reboot. Seeking a refund.
Fix the bugs.

Response from developer

Sorry you’re running into this, especially after supporting the game with purchases. Please email me at tenukisoftware@gmail.com with your device details and I’ll help you get this sorted.

Freezes up

Freezes up. Cant play anymore. Game no longer reveals drug prizes in the small squares on the main screen. Game also freezes up after a while

Response from developer

That sounds frustrating, sorry about that. If you can email me at tenukisoftware@gmail.com with your device details and, if possible, screenshots, I’ll take a closer look.

Just Like I Remember It

I played this game back in the early 2000's and it's come a long way. I'm glad I was able to find it again. A simple game to past the time. Not complicated and no overthinking.

Response from developer

Love hearing that. Same easygoing gameplay, with a bit more under the hood if you want it. Thanks for playing!

Stay

Please fix the bugs!!

I love this game but every time I play I’ll get a few rounds in and it’ll start lagging and eventually completely freeze. If I force close and try to reopen, the app never gets past the “made with thunkable” screen. The only fix is deleting and reinstalling, but then I lose all of my progress in the campaign. And that only fixes it until I play a few more rounds. Please fix it so I can keep playing this addicting game!

Ah, that sounds really frustrating, especially losing progress. I’d really like to get to the bottom of it, please email me at tenukisoftware@gmail.com with your device details and I’ll do my best to help you out.

Fun game, old school sim

I searched for a game like the one I played decades ago on PC where you just buy and sell, adjusting by market places and generating profit. GTA Chinatown Wars had a great system for this. Dope Wars scratches that old itch, wonderful game.

Response from developer

That’s exactly the itch I was hoping to scratch. Simple buy low, sell high and watch the chaos unfold. Really appreciate the 5 stars.

..

It should be a gun store or certain borough that we could visit to get a gun u can upgrade your gum likeliness and I’ll still go multiple games without the option even pop up

Response from developer

Totally fair point. Guns are random by design, which can mean some unlucky streaks. If you’re in Career Mode, levelling up the “Heavy Metal Hotline” skill increases your chances of them showing up more often.

Frozen

Cannot open the app … I tried reinstalling it and it won’t load.

Better than ever before!

I can remember playing this game on the computer back in the late 90s early 00s. It was great back then. Technology and the programmers has made it that much more interesting.

Response from developer

Pretty sure we had the same childhood curriculum. Dope Wars and dial up internet. Thanks for the love!

Great game. Crashes all the time

I love the game but it crashes out all the time after playing for a while then won’t load past the thunkable screen. Have to delete app and then all progress is lost when reinstall. Makes it hard to enjoy long term and progress

Response from developer

I get why that kills the experience, losing progress is brutal. This looks like a known stability issue on certain devices and I’m working on a patch. Email me your device details and I’ll do my best to get you sorted.

Time killer

Best game from back in the day

Response from developer

Dana White playing Dope Wars? Next update: press conference mode and a very angry Irishman.
