Willkommen im Kolumbien der 1980er – El Patróns Reich steht, sein Einfluss reicht über Grenzen hinweg, und es dehnt sich immer weiter aus. Überall herrscht Korruption: Polizei, Wachleute, Politiker und jeder, der dazwischen liegt, werden vom Medellín Cartel bezahlt, doch Amerika nimmt davon erst nach Jahren der ungezügelten Kokainproduktion Kenntnis.

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels erzählt die erfolgreiche TV-Serie auf Netflix nach und beschreibt den Aufstieg und Untergang von El Patrón. Wähle eine Seite und schließe dich der DEA oder den Narcos an. Erkunde bekannte Orte aus der Serie und begleite in deiner Rolle zentrale Ereignisse und Kämpfe, die den Drogenkrieg entscheidend beeinflussen.

Bilde ein Team aus Charakteren mit klassenspezifischen Rollen, schließe dich Hauptfiguren an, verbessere deine Fähigkeiten und nimm an brutalen rundenbasierten Gefechten teil, in denen alle deine Handlungen Konsequenzen haben.

NACH DER TV-SERIE AUF NETFLIX
Glaubwürdigkeit kommt in Narcos an erster Stelle. Du steuerst und spielst kultige Figuren mit hohem Wiedererkennungswert wie El Mexicano, Murphy, Peña, Primo uvm. Jeder „Anführer“ bietet dir individuelle Fähigkeiten und Vorteile, um den Kampf zu deinen Gunsten zu entscheiden.

RASANTE STRATEGISCHE KÄMPFE/b]
Narcos: Rise of the Cartels definiert rundenbasierte strategische Kämpfe neu, denn seine Einheiten können sich einzeln nacheinander oder mehrmals in einer Runde bewegen, was das Spieltempo immer weiter steigert. Überlege dir also deine Züge genau und denke daran, dass dein Handeln stets Folgen hat.

JEDER KRIEG HAT ZWEI SEITEN
Narcos: Rise of the Cartels verfügt über zwei völlig unterschiedliche Kampagnen, die dir den Drogenkrieg aus beiden Perspektiven zeigen. Du kannst dich entweder mit der DEA zusammentun und das Drogenimperium mit Steve Murphy zu Fall bringen oder dich den Narcos anschließen, um es unter dem wachsamen Auge von El Patrón zu gründen, auszubauen und zu erweitern.

GEGENMASSNAHMEN UND KILLSHOTS
Innovative Mechaniken für das Gameplay peppen das rundenbasierte Genre auf, indem du deine Einheiten aus der Sicht einer dritten Person steuerst und ihnen befiehlst, Gegner direkt anzugreifen und ihnen im richtigen Moment kritische Schäden zuzufügen.

Das Spiel ist schlecht.
Da gab es schon vor 10 Jahren bessre Taktik Spiele.
Man kann immer nur einen Charakter pro Runde bewegen.
Man kann in einer Runde nur eine Sache machen egal ob bewegen oder nachladen.
Das hat nichts mit Taktik zu tun wenn du eine Sache machen.

TV-Serie auf Netflix nachempfunden Spiel sollte man sich denken das es nichts werden kann Schade eigentlich.

Teamrunenstrategie bei der man immer nur einen Charakter pro Runde bewegen kann. Dadurch macht das Team eigentlich keinen Sinn. Die Kämpfe finden fast ausschließlich im 1 vs. 1 statt. Die Gegnerbewegungen wirken gescripted. k.A. was das sein soll aber Strategie ist das nicht.

Eigentlich wäre das Spiel gar nicht mal schlecht, aber eine Sache macht das Spiel komplett kaputt : Die Endlosspawns.
Da man nur einen einzigen Zug Pro Runde hat, ist es stellenweise kaum möglich, wirklich Land zu gewinnen, da man sich permanent zwischen Laufen, Nachladen, Schießen und so weiter entscheiden muss. Wenn nun ständig neue Gegner spawnen (und dann auch noch so unlogisch aus dem Nichts raus), dann kann es passieren, dass man so ungünstig steht, dass man sich immer wieder zurück ziehen muss. Sich ein Schusswechsel liefert und dann, wenn man sich heilt, nachlädt etc, schon die nächsten Gegner neben einem stehen und man gar nicht dazu kommt, auf irgendwelche Missionsziele zuzulaufen. Vom Nachrücken der eigenen Leute, die vielleicht Deckung geben könnten red ich erst gar nicht, denn man hat nicht nur einen Zug pro Runde, sondern kann auch nur einen der eigenen Teammitglieder pro Runde bewegen.
Diese Kombination macht das Spiel stellenweise zum reinen Glücksspiel, oder aber, man opfert halt seine Leute, oder versucht durchzurennen und mit etwas Glück einfach die Missionsziele zu erreichen, solange es nicht darum geht, irgendwen zu töten. Wirklich taktisch kann man hier aber nicht vorgehen. Ich bin einfach nur generft und kann das Spiel leider so nicht empfehlen, schon gar nicht zu dem Preis.

Durch und durch einfach komplett blöde designt alles. Und das Spiel ist grad mal ein halbes Jahr alt.

Habe es nach 1h Spielzeit an Steam zurückgegeben.

Cool:
- Original Narcos Charaktere aus der Netflix-Serie
- Original Soundtrack
- Gleiche Sprecher wie in der Serie
- Setting
- Quicktime Events beim Gegenangriff

Was ist OK:
- Spielgrafik
- Sounds
- Kameraeinstellung
- ausgelegt auf Konsolensteuerung

Negativ:
- Animationen (immer gleich)
- Spielmechanik (warum darf ich nur einen Soldaten in einer Runde steuern?)
- Realismus (Du ballerst in Deckung auf einen Gegner direkt vor Dir. Der überlebt es knapp, humpelt zurück, um in der nächsten Runde an Dir vorbeizurennen und Dir in den Rücken zu schießen. What?)

Für 5-10€ würd ich mir das Spiel vielleicht nochmal holen.

Solch schönes Setting und dennoch schafft es Kuju daraus auch rein gar nichts zu machen, denn selbst manche Handygames haben mehr Tiefgang. Ich bin leider wirklich enttäuscht, denn das Geld was man mit Missionen und Nebenmissionen erhält, kann man nur für neue Rekruten ausgeben, etwa nicht für Waffen oder Spezialisierunge. Über das Rundenprinzip brauchen wir gar nicht sprechen. Man kann ich jeder Runde die gleiche Person spielen und nach dieser ist der (ab Hauptmission 3 fast unbesiegbare) Gegner dran. Dieser spawnt in manchen Missionen auf einfach neue Gegner welche dann den eigenen Squad von hinten mit ein paar Schuss ausschalten. Genauso ist es leider absolut unlogisch das aus weiter Entfernung das Sturmgewehr mehrfach verfehlt, aber die Pistole des Gegner optimal trifft.

Schade, aber ich hoffe sehr, dass Updates das Problem eventuell lösen können.

Dieses Spiel ist leider ein perfektes Beispiel dafür, wie man eine gute Grundlage/ Idee total versaut.

Ein absolut unlogischer Zug-Modus der Figuren im Spiel..das war z.B. bei Jagged Alliance 2 schon vor zig Jahren um Welten besser umgesetzt, da hätte man sich mal ein Beispiel dran nehmen sollen.

Auch der Kampfmodus hat erhebliche Schwächen..es ist doch absolut unglaubwürdig, dass man Gegnern aus nächster Nähe, mit einem Sturmgewehr kämpfend, gerade mal ein Drittel ihrer Gesundheit nehmen kann.

Über die KI der Gegner fange ich jetzt erst gar nicht an zu sprechen...

Schade, ich hätte wirklich mehr erwartet..die Grundlagen wären da, aber das, was ich in ca 45min Spielzeit erlebt habe, hat mich nur animiert, das Spiel wieder zurück zu geben.

Incredibly flawed. There is the bones of a good game here but the absolute dogs breakfast of the game mechanics makes this a solid, don't buy.

Why on earth would they limit the player to one move or action per turn when you have 5 squad members. Some glaring issues include:
What's the point in having other squad members when you can only move one or perform one action per turn?
Why can the AI move multiple characters when they feel like it?
Why is there no over-watch?
Why does cover seemingly do nothing?
Why can AI run right up to my characters, shoot them at point blank range to maximum effect but when I shoot back the shotgun misses at point blank range?

All of these questions can be answered by the very theme of the game 'cocaine' clearly the devs were nose deep in the stuff instead of working on polishing the aforementioned issues I've raised. 3/10. The three points are for the game music (from the TV series).

YANOGA REVIEW

GRAPHICS - ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
The best part of this game. In-Game and cutscenes looking good (but a bit stiff.) Not the best looking videogame but for a strategy game it's pleasurable.

MUSIC - ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Mostly the soundtrack of ''Narcos'' on Netflix. Makes me wanna see this series again.

STORY - ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
Kind of a summary of the Netflix Series. Cutscenes without synchro and no real storyline. Only short films with people appearing or disappearing on locations. What a missed opportunity....

GAMEPLAY - ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
The reason I quit this game. IT MAKES NO FUN.
Moving just 1 Unit per turn slows down the whole game and there is no ''flow'' coming up. Strategy? Is not existing - Just take 3 Shotgun men and rush everything. This literally worked in every mission for 2 hours. KI? Does nothing when you're healing your whole squad and just moves when you in close distance (in which you 1-Shot everybody with Shotgun-Boy). Progress? Why would I care about progress when all you need are SHOTGUN-FUCKERS. I was bored after 40 Minutes and just played for 2 Hours for having a better opinion on my review.

WORTH BUYING - ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
No. There a like 1289 better strategy games avaiable.
Nothing more to say. I will give it some points for overall design but gameplay is just garbage.

LENGTH : Story is 18 Hours, I played 2

BUGS : None

I've held off getting this game for a long time simply due to the number of bad reviews and man am I pissed at every one of you leaving a bad review! ;)

This game is amazingly fun! The counter attack and kill shot features are pure genius and add so much to a turned based shooter. I honestly do not understand the complaints regarding moving a single player at a time, this to me is a great feature and adds a lot of strategy to the game. The unit upgrades are pretty sweet as well.

There are a lot of details in this game that I haven't seen in other TBS like wounded bad guys limping away bleeding and dropping their weapons when killed. This just adds to the games immersiveness. And the story is great of course, so if you liked the show, you'll love this game!

If you're on the fence, pick it up on sale for sure and you will not be disappointed ... unless you just completely suck at planning out strategy and maximizing your squad (which I assume is the issue with the negative reviewers). ;)

I don't mind the fact that you can only move one unit and make one action at a time. What is annoying is that it's virtually impossible to complete a mission without death of at least one unit, and you don't get enough cash reward to recruit more, nor enough to heal units for the next mission. It could have been a great game, but feels broken.

the 1 man per move thing isn't inherently bad, but i'm not sure how to feel about it. it's fine on paper, but it's incredibly jarring going back and forth between you and the enemy every 4 seconds (if that) and leaves 80% of my men behind me while the strongest one pushes forward. if they get shot (it never came to this but), all you gotta do is rest (heal your character on pip per turn). two missions over 30 minutes won't show me everything there is to see, but it showed me what i *needed* to see. ultimately, i was bored. with reluctance, because i can tell thought went into this, i feel a thumbs down is necessary.

To be honest, I was expecting a way worse game here. Yes it lacks the variety and depth of some turn based tactic games that are out there, and also chooses a different path when speaking about some fundamental game mechanics. But at the end, for me, it was not a bad game.

Some early missions are pretty hard, while others of the end felt like the easiest. To progress through the campaing you must always make a high repetitive set of secondary missions to choose from in order to unlock the next main campaing mission.

The are not much progress for your soldiers, as same as for their skills. And even their chances to gain experience and level up are locked to your progress through the main campaing, meaning you will end many missions without getting any experience. Because of this, you will probably end with hundreds of unused skill points and hundred of thousands dollars not spent.

So why I am still recommending this game? Because I must confess I enjoyed this game, it was fun to play and I got it as a spare key from a bundle where I was interested in other games, so it came as a nice unexpected surprise. However I would only recommend getting it this way: through a bundle or with a huge discount.

Once you get used to the system, it's not a bad game. But you need to learn the game mechanic. I think the twist on turn base strategy is good, but we are so used to the normal one, we get frustrated real fast in the first 1h.

I had interest in playing until it came to how the turn based is set up. Instead of being able to move your units in a single phase, you can only move 1 then the game switches to the enemy who also is only allowed to move one unit. Instead of taking like 5 turns for something simple like killing a few units & moving, it is more like 100+ turns. Wish it was more like XCOM's turn based system.

Narcos : Rise of the Cartels is an Xcom kind of game, simplified in many aspects. This does not make it a bad game at all, it is just more... basic.

The main difference you will notice is that instead of moving your whole squad before waiting for the enemy to make their move, is that you only move once with one character. Then the enemies do the same, and so on. This takes a little getting used to and makes everything a lot less strategic, but it's a different way of doing things.
You will also realize that 30 to 40% of the gameplay relies on using counteracts ( the equivalent of overwatch in Xcom ) effectively to have a clean mission. You will lose quite a few soldiers before figuring out how to use it properly, but once again, it's just a different way of doing things and not necessarily a worse one.

The graphics are okay, the two campaigns only have cosmetic differences but are long enough to keep you occupied for about 20 to 25 hours, and it's pretty cool to see the characters of the show if you are a fan, or even if you have simply watched it.
The voice actors are not great and the game doesn't always run fluidly ( looking at you, counteractions ). It also feels repetitive towards the end, and there are way too few maps as most side missions, that are required to play the main ones will happen on the same one or two maps associated with each type of mission.

Despite all this and the obvious fewer possibilities the game offers in terms of replayability or strategic decisions, I enjoyed it. Narcos : Rise of the Cartels is that younger kid down the street who's always willing to play when your best friend isn't available. He's not as smart and doesn't know all the rules, but you will have a good time if you don't expect too much.

You're done with Xcom and want a slightly different experience ? You're a fan of the show and want to play a tactical game ? This one's not bad, give it a try. Good effort, 6.

This game has a ton of potential but the turn based game mechanics just don't make any sense. Why does just 1 unit get to move per turn? As many players point out, even if you have 5 or 6 men in your squad, only 1 man gets to take action for the entire turn while your other guys do nothing. No cover fire, nothing. It just doesn't make any sense and it's unfortunate because the game has a ton of potential.

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is a turn-based strategy game that emulates the tv series which was 'AMAZING'!

Metacritic scored this a '45 but for me, it's a little harsh. It has a mobile/cell phone feel to the game, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was made as one before it even reached Steam.

It features two campaigns covering the illegal enterprises of the Narcos and the legal overtures of the DEA. It's great that you can alternate between playing as the Cartel or the DEA, I know which one we all prefer though, lol.

It's def worth a shot. If you can get it under £5, dollars or euros then it's worth it. It won't blow you away but it's def aimed at fans of the series, hence why I was drawn to it.

Please don't buy, even if like me you see it cheap in a sale. I have rarely been this disappointed in a game that had so much potential. Compared to movement and action system in x-com 2, this is truly dreadful, and makes no sense. Resting DURING a fire fight, means units (yours and the narcos) can heal back up to full health...!! Zero equipment upgrades, and no HQ to improve leaves this game a one trick pony, and boring as heck.

Frustrating. It's supposed to be a turn-based strategy ala XCOM except there's no strategy because of this 'one soldier move per turn' mechanic. It breaks the game because you can't place your squad where you want them to, you can't provide support, and almost all gunfights are fought 1 v 1. Don't bother.

For a licensed product (Narcos Netflix TV Series) this is actually a really great game.

Imagine X-Com style gameplay but in the world of Narcos. You get to play as the Good guys DEA and fight the Cartels and you can also play as the Cartel once you finish the game.

The game looks great, very clean and good level design, very true to the series and it also plays well too - yes it is a console port and some of the controls are a bit off but the game is not so intense so its easy to get used too.

If you are a fan of Narcos this is even better as it is voiced by the original actors and feels like you are in the TV Series almost! If you are a fan of X-Com style gameplay and want something else to try it is an option but don't expect it to be anything close to the level of X-Com, it is a simple game but fun nonetheless.

If you never watched Narcos don't waste your first time with this terrible game. I was expecting Rise of the Cartels to be more like a spin off, instead it's really connected to the first season events. They even borrowed music and scenes from the Netflix show. There are still some useless in-game cutscenes, but they are awful.

Apart from the story, the main problem is gameplay. Missions start repeating and get boring, just like enemies and locations. You have a squad of 5 members but you can only use one at a time, which doesn't make any sense, especially when you start seeing enemies moving 2 at a time. This makes the game really slow, boring and frustrating. You can't cover your allies with only one option to move, so someone will inevitably die during each mission and you will have to use the money you just earned to hire a new agent. AI is really really bad. Enemies have a basic suicidal instinct, so they will just rush you most of the time. When they don't rush you they go far away and start skipping every turn.

There isn't really anything good to say. Even if you watched and loved Narcos, stay away from this game.

I really liked this game. I finished both the DEA, and the Narco campaigns. The Narco campaign felt like it was a little harder, until you unlock El Mexicano for one of your squad leaders. The first two can't heal quick enough. The gameplay that a lot of people are complaining about, where you can only move one unit per turn adds to the strategy I think. I haven't played X-Com, so I can't compare it. I've played a ton of Jagged Alliance though, and while this isn't as good, it's similar enough that I think it's worth playing. Maybe not at full price, but if you can get it at 50% off I think it's worth it.

When creating this game who got the idea to have only one unit move at the time? Just take XCOM formula put it in this game, profit. But no, one unit at the time. No wonder is now included in $1 bargain bin bundles

So much promise, good art direction, yet failed in being a tactical game

I bought the game for 50 cents and I regret my purchase. What ruins the game is the 'one person moves per turn' mechanic, which makes the game either really cumbersome as you take 20 turns moving your team together and accumulating reaction points, or it makes it pointless to bring more than like two guys. You can also heal by just sitting there. It's like they designed the combat to drag out as long and boring as possible. I finished a few levels and uninstalled. Don't be like me. Spend your 50 cents on a chico stick.

Okay I admit that Narcos isn't without its issues - the maps become repetitive, the mechanic of only moving one unit per turn is decidedly odd, and it's PROBABLY not worth its full cost.
But it also has a lot of good points that make it a good buy for turn based strategy fans and fans of the show. The mechanics aren't that bad despite the fact that it is possible, but unlikely, to complete any mission with a single unit and, if you look at it another way, prevent it from being just another XCOM clone. The story is okay, based in fact, and is pushed along with some nice cut-scenes and voice-overs, combat becomes more tactical once you are used to the awkward single unit per turn thing, whilst the maps do get repetitive the mission objectives within them can be quite diverse, and units themselves work quite differently adding to the tactical layer. It is also not completely without value that you have both a DEA and a Narcos campaign.

All in all Narcos is a decent attempt at a new kind of squad tactics game backed by a good license that probably accounts for it seemingly being somewhat over priced. If you like turn based tactics then it's a game you should own but get it on sale or in a bundle. In my opinion it is worth £10-£15 ($13-$20) rather than its £25 tag. But you can get hold of it for a lot less which makes it a very good buy.

I think this game is quite entertaining overall. The game-play quite laid back.
There are I think improvements that could be made to the game-play to make it more enjoyable. For example being able to move only one of your team per turn.
I would recommend buying this game while its on sale at a reduced price!

You will have a 5 person team and only be able to move 1 unit per turn. You will go insane as I did.

Save yourself.

If you saw many reviews saying this is an attempt at X-Com, they are right, and damn right they were when they say it's a failed clone of X-Com. I was looking forward to this game when it was announced, but the turn-by-turn combat strat just doesn't work out.

You get to choose 1 character to move, AI chooses 1 character to move as well and so on and fore. To be honest, it wouldn't be so bad if it works like other turn base strat game where different character take their own turn to move instead of you deciding who moves.

I hope this is Kuju (Developer) last attempt at making a turn base, have they not played enough turn base games to understand how this type of game work and WHY they worked the way they were made instead of jamming their own shit thought mechanics into a game? Even at 60%, it's a hard pass, wait for it to be bundled, there's a reason why the price is dropping like crap, game came out less than a year and it's already bundled with fanatical mystery bundle for a reason.

Narcos is one of my most favourite shows and it's such a shame that it's only official game, minus the cash grab mobile games, is poorly done with not much thought gone into it. Rise of the Cartels has some decent things going for it but in the end it feels pretty rushed, lazy and has questionable design choices.

PRO
- Great music that is featured in the show
- The locations do resemble areas around Colombia
- You get to play as both the DEA and the Medellin Cartel
- Really nice artwork used for character icons

NEUTRAL
- Various kinds of missions but they just seem to be mainly the same
- Real life names rarely come up which I guess is a legal/licensing issue.

CON
- The graphics are pretty dated for a 2019 game that seems more like a port of a mobile game.
- You can only move one unit at a time even though you have a whole squad
- You'll be visiting the same locations quite a few times
- Enemy AI will pretty much become suicidal and put themselves in danger just to damage you
- There isn't a great level of depth to it, all seems very basic
- The voices are all in English and some of them (namely Pena) isn't very good.

With some much needed improvements and graphical upgrades this could have been an amazing tie in to the show but it seems that they just didn't find the right developers for bringing the show to gaming.
If you're a fan of low budget strategy games, like ones you find on mobile, then you may take some enjoyment out of this. If you're looking for a more in depth strategy game like XCOM or Phantom Doctrine then you may not enjoy it as much with it's watered down gameplay. Even fans of the show like myself will have difficulty.
Also buy it on sale, £9.99 still felt a bit much for me, sadly.

For a licsensed product this could be alot worse. Has some of the original cast and even the soundtrack, unfortunatly not while you are on mission.
If you played X-Com you know what you are in for. While not as deep, it still provides a lot to have fun with.
I'd even say that it's a great introduction for someone who did not like other games in the genre for their complexetiy.
Yes, it's a budget title, yes there are better looking games that have more to offer but still. For 15€ or under you can have a really good time with Rise of the Cartels.

definitely like the top down/FPS style! devs did a great job and im also exited to get their other recent title. If your looking for something that gives you a real challenge...this is it. Single movement per turn(no spoilers) play style allows for very in depth decision making on who and what you want them to attack etc. its awesome!

Narcos: Rise of The Cartels:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 1980s was something special to me as I was growing up and reaching my early teens, experiencing my first kiss, the right to legally watch the almighty Harrison Ford in the Return of The Jedi, and fabulous music with Witney Houston, Michael Jackson, George Michael and Elton John to mention a few. But who was a bad guy of the 80’s? Well, there was one from Colombia, and they called him El Patron, a man who was making 70 million a day (230 million today) by producing and distributing white gold, now known as cocaine. Netflix has produced a fantastic series about this era and now you can experience both sides, in Narcos: Rise of The Cartels!

Narcos: Rise of The Cartels is a turn-based strategy game developed by kuju and published by Curve Digital on the 20th November 2019 on Steam.

The game consists of 8 main DEA missions with side quests, as well as 9 main Narcos missions which also have several side quests. However, you’ll not be able to start your first game playing the Narcos; you will need to successfully clear one main DEA mission to unlock the Narcos campaign.

Whether you play the DEA or the Narcos, you’ll start the game in the war room where you’ll have a few options to choose from. The map will show you which missions are available, as well as the rooster, which is where you can purchase and upgrade units. There is also the Intel Board and Game Options.

The map will have rhombus shapes with a lock icon on them, representing the main missions. At the top of your screen, you’ll have a gauge which, at the start, has a couple of segments; as you progress through the game, there will be more segments. These segments signify how many sides you must complete to unlock a main mission. These side quests have different tasks, which could be to retrieve intel, escort an asset to safety, or kill one or more important people, with many more to choose from. All side quests will have a certain level of difficulty, from easy to hard, and will have a reward in the form of dollars if you complete them. Some missions will be free to access, while others will cost you money to play, but the reward will be significantly greater.

On your first mission, the rooster option will not be accessible as you must win a side quest first to unlock it. There you’ll be able to purchase new units or upgrade your current roosters with skill points which you’ll earn by completing a mission. Any units that have been wounded during your last battle can be healed here too, but it will cost you money to do so.

The gameplay is a bit different to what you’d expect, and I must admit that at first, I was not too keen about only being able to move one unit per turn, unlike other similar games where you can move all your units each turn. But it grew on me as I quickly realised that is all about placing one or more of your units strategically to eliminate all enemies swiftly and minimise your lost. You still have movement points, action points and counteraction points. Each time you move a unit, it will earn half a counteraction point. The maximum counterpoints a unit can have is two. But when you own one or two counterpoints and an enemy unit moves within the vision of your character which has one or two counterpoints, it will automatically be able to shoot at the enemy. But in this game, you control the shot; as the enemy moves across the screen, you’ll move your cross using your mouse and hopefully hit him. The other aspect that you need to be careful of is how much ammunition you’ll already use with any of your characters. It will also take one turn to reload your gun. So you might find that the unit you use with the counterpoint might be out of ammo on your next turn, and you’ll therefore need to select another unit to finish the kill. That will depend on how well you have strategically placed the other units on the map. Are they close by and loaded? This can become quite challenging at times, especially if the mission has turn restrictions to complete one or more tasks.

There are not many different types of units on both sides, and I do feel that the DEA grenade launcher is probably too powerful as it inflicts great damage from a distance, even having only one shell per turn with the next turn to reload. On the other hand, I think the character progression is pretty good and each class has its own skills.

Graphically, the game looks great, and I thoroughly enjoyed the original Netflix soundtrack. I also like that the Steve Murphy and Pablo Escobar voice overs are from the original actors (not sure about the other ones). I can see what the developers are trying to do, and I like it, but it will take players a while to become accustomed to the one-unit-per-turn aspect.

Positives:
~~~~~~~

+ Great graphics
+ The story is close to the original series from Netflix
+ Good unit progression
+ Quite challenging
+ Has trading cards and achievements

Negatives:
~~~~~~~~

- One unit per turn system will take time to get used to
- Can be frustrating at times

Which side are you on? Will it be the DEA or El Patron in Narcos: Rise of The Cartels!

7/10

Never seen the show.After watching the trailers and the fact its a turn based interested me,so onto reviews as i've bought some poor (x rated language probably not allowed) games in the past,realising reviews were bang on the mark.Because most of the negatives with this game where to do with only being able to move one character at a time i thought i'd give it a go,more of a challenge.You have to think more,and make sure each character covers one another,or your team won't last long.Glad i took a chance on this game.

It's basically an overpriced mobile game. There was so much potential with this story, but the combat is lame and repetitive. If you are a fan of the show, its still worth a play IMO, but wait for a heavy discount.

Moving one unit a round slows down the game way too much. Makes it take forever to move all your men. Another thing that annoyed me was the shotguns accuracy at long range. Not sure if it was just me, But I got sniped from across the map with one.

There's some good in this game for sure but it is slow and mundane due to only being able to move one unit at a time.

Its a shame, i really like this game but only being able to move 1 unit at a time ruins this game so much. You cant use any real tactics at all, just constant back and forth. Horrible game design. Every unit should have one move and one fire per turn..... you fucked it up devs.
