Rule the underworld in this test of grand-strategy and city-building set in the 70’s-90’s drug trade. Conquer new territories, manage operations, and outsmart your rivals. Becoming Pablo isn’t just about building an empire - it’s about surviving it.
Rule the underworld in Becoming Pablo, a test of grand-strategy and city-building set in the gritty 70’s-90’s drug trade. Lead a cartel by conquering new territories, managing operations, and outsmarting your rivals.
THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT BUILDING AN EMPIRE - IT'S ABOUT SURVIVING IT.
It takes power, strategy, and cunning to rule supreme in the brutal drug trade. You’ll build your cartel through high-stakes decisions and a constant vigil for control. Whether you're expanding your empire, defending your turf, or navigating cartel politics, every choice you make will determine your rise, or fall.
BUILD YOUR OPERATION FOR GLOBAL DOMINANCE.
Choose your base from three distinct maps - Colombia, North Korea, or Nigeria. Build your operations including farming, production, packaging, and transport. With money rolling in, you’ll need to fortify your territory with defensive structures, traps, and armed protection to keep rival cartels and law enforcement at bay. Each region offers new powerful figures to work as, utilizing natural resources and navigating the market challenges unique to their burgeoning empire. With efficient supply, you’ll need to grow your territories and meet your customers’ constant demand.
EVERY DECISION COMES AT A COST. ONE WRONG MOVE AND...YOU'RE DONE.
Compare your success to the real-world reigns of international kingpins that influenced Becoming Pablo. Can you survive in a business of power, profit, and paranoia? What will you do to protect your empire? And, which misstep will be the one to tear it all down?
FEATURES:
Grand Strategy: Command your cartel while expanding influence through alliances, blackmail, and bribes. In this world, loyalty is the rarest resource.
Turn-Based Battles: Engage in strategic ‘Risk’-like battles to claim territories and resources.
Tycoon-Management: Manage detailed operations, from production facilities to distribution networks, for your rise to power.
Base Defense: Defend your territory from rival cartels and law enforcement.
Real-World Events: Experience a world influenced by the drug-trade’s “Most Wanted” from the 1970’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
Game Status: Becoming Pablo is still a work in progress, currently in its pre-Alpha stage. Thank you for your patience and support!
