Triad Wars: A New Online Game Based On Sleeping Dogs: Page 3 of 3

Welcome
Welcome to the Triad.


An Eye For An Eye

Come At Me

Who's next?

Sleeping Dogs boasts its gruesome combat mechanics; with a number of martial arts moves ranging from taekwondo to backstreet boxing, executing your opponents is just the icing on the cake. This made its way rather smoothly into the Triad Wars game universe.

Your limbs may prove lethal in most cases, but the things that make the franchise shine will be the uncanny use of the environment to kill - brutally.

Too bad you cannot scream – anymore.

Repeatedly smacking one’s face on concrete sounds vanilla; driving a carbide-tipped drill through your rival’s skull as you raid his workshop is too good to pass up, not to mention the horror of splitting his head open with a circular table saw if you’re in a sadistic mood.

The possibilities are endless.

Chased

A wild Police Car has appeared! A bullet to its a tire can be super effective.

While those usually apply in raid scenarios, a road massacre is just as exciting. During an enemy ambush on a freeway, swerving a lot to let them collide with other vehicles would be a little mainstream. A clever bullet to the wheels will send them flying, and a headshot to the driver’s brain will make you say “Points for trying.” in an instant.

Of course, you can bring the same hell to the police on your tracks. Just keep in mind that you have limited ammunition.

Keep Your Friends Close And Your Enemies Closer

Payback

This is payback, pal.

Once you get used to the thug life, you and your gang will grow stronger in time; that certainly means having more dogs willing to bite your neck as you roam around Hong Kong’s alleys.

The main villains in the storyline will be your rival Triads. The devs are adding more to it, and we are expecting see more when the official launch will be announced.

Since it’s an online, multiplayer F2P game, other players are your worst enemies, and your own decision-making coming to a close second.

Players will be enhancing their strongholds and expanding their turfs much like you do. Infiltrating their territories surely sounds simple enough, but the difficulty lies on how other players supervise their gangs and Rackets.

As players improve their assets, their respective gang AIs will be improved too, making the main base harder to penetrate. Turf defenses can effectively shut down a raiding Enforcer if the enhancements are good enough.

Your Turf

All these rest on the palm of your hand. Just remember to keep those pesky rats away.

Striking a good balance between Enforcer offense and base defense can be a test to your judgement.

Sure, you might be strong enough to take others on single-handedly, but other players can burn your lawn even while you’re online, busy nuking other bases.

Managing everything down to the most basic of resources require intelligent planning too; running out of bullets in a raid could spell disaster when you’re in the middle of a heated turf war. You certainly don’t want to eat lead, do you?

Ready to be an Enforcer? Here’s a beginner’s guide.

United Front Games and Square Enix made Triad Wars a game that can be exciting and mind-wrecking at the same time. Having its roots from Sleeping Dogs, the underground lifestyle is brought to light with the complexities of making a name for yourself while carefully managing your exploits with the constant pressure of law enforcers trying to pin you down.

We will see more in the future as updates and patch details roll in regularly on the official forums and Youtube channel.

Triad Wars is expected to have its official release this 2015. Want to experience the life of an Enforcer? Check out the official site and scale the ranks in Hong Kong’s challenging crime world.
