It’s easy to dismiss a game as a Clash of Clans clone because there really are a ton of them out there. Gang Nations certainly owes a lot to that format, but it offers a few subtle differences to ensure that it feels more worthy of playing than most. Even if it does feel somewhat racist in terms of its stereotyping, at times.
What’s slightly different is that Gang Nations incorporates tower defense style elements in terms of building up your defenses. You can redirect where enemies go, channeling them down areas that you’ve set up as particularly strong, through barricades and sniper towers. It’s a small touch but one that adds some level of strategy to proceedings.
Of course, Gang Nations has much to do with attrition, just like all these other base building games. You’ll be chipping away at enemies while also waiting for many timers to finish up in order to get a step further in your battle for world domination. Still, despite the lazy stereotyping, Gang Nations is a small cut above the rest. It offers enough to keep you interested for a bit longer, even if it is ultimately a lot like something you’ve played before.
