Common complaints include dated graphics, "muddy" textures, and repetitive tasks like navigating sewers to move between map sectors.

Despite technical flaws, it maintains a "Very Positive" rating on Steam with over 18,000 reviews.

Developed by Byterunners and published by Movie Games S.A., the series places players in the role of an aspiring drug kingpin. The core objective is to expand a criminal empire from a small-scale operation to a dominant cartel while evading local police and the DEA.

An "exposition" level tracks police awareness. Getting caught during curfew or possessing drugs increases this level and leads to hefty fines.

The game functions as a methodical business simulator rather than a fast-paced action title. Key mechanics include:

Players use an in-game "mixing table" to combine pure substances (e.g., amphetamines) with fillers like baking soda to maximize profits or create unique products.

Orders are managed through an in-game computer, requiring players to package specific gram amounts and physically deliver them to clients in various sectors.
