CrimeCraft News & Events & Guides

Well it would wouldn’t it? After all this isn’t your normal city and being clean takes a back seat to staying alive. This is Sunshine City. This is the OnRPG CrimeCraft review.

You’ve got two options in the world painted for you by Vogster Entertainment in their Free to Play MMOFPS CrimeCraft. You can either scrape by in the anarchy outside the walls or you can sign up and play by the rules and be admitted to Sunshine City. Sure it isn’t the best slice of real estate this side of pretty much anywhere but it works. People have got homes, homes have got power and the raw meat recruits help keep the chaos, the squatters and sometimes the Feds at bay.

Set in a not too distant future, CrimeCraft Cash paints a post apocalyptic cityscape that has suffered the ravages of war and rampant gang warfare in a world where anyone can eventually wave around a rocket launcher.

The setting earns CrimeCraft its street cred with me. Vogster had an idea of the game they wanted to make and merged it well into the setting presented. The world as you know it has gone and the only way to survive is to sign up to protect Sunshine City, even if that occasionally (read: Almost always) means coming to blows with other denizens.

Admittedly the character creator in CrimeCraft isn’t the most in-depth I have ever come across. A smattering of hair and skin colours, a few tops, bottoms and shoes as well. Most of the stuff in the creator is the same thing in a different colour, but you know what? That’s okay. Don’t get too attached to your threads, you’ll be replacing them as you earn the cash. Though it doesn’t look it, even the humble baseball cap can add to your characters resistances and stats.

It’s not just the clothes that make the man or woman. Augmentations and boosts play a part as well. Abilities are equipable enhancements that can give you extra resistances, allow you to become invisible for a short period or even heal you slowly over time once you’ve taken CrimeCraft Gold. Boosts on the other hand are timed buffs that you can buy from vendors for a particular effect.
