PAYDAY: Crime War is a free action game developed by PopReach Incorporated. In this mobile app, you will experience a first-person shooter from the perspective of a bandit. As a leader, you will be tasked with leading a team of criminals on dangerous missions—including hostage-taking, bank robbery, and gunfights with the police.

In PAYDAY: Crime War, you come face to face with the police and other enemies in elegant suits and grotesque masks. In addition, the online mode allows a team of four people to challenge their competitors while playing on the same map.

Fun and unique game mechanics

PAYDAY: Crime War recreates the original console and PC versions' heist planning, execution, and strategy gameplay, giving the game a unique touch. That means you will get a taste of what it's like to be in the heister’s shoes. This game allows you to join a gang with your friends and battle against other players worldwide in unique 4v4 PvP game modes.

This game allows you to create your style of outlaw or criminal by defining how heists are carried out. You can take a stealth approach to avoid hurting civilians and police officers to avoid drawing attention, or you can go all out with guns blazing. You can work your way up from an entry-level position by acquiring skills and earning a reputation in the community.

Further, customization is a significant element of this game. You can unlock and equip dozens of your favorite heisters' masks, weapons, and unique outfits to customize your loadouts and upgrade skills that complement your playing style. However, the game is poorly optimized and runs poorly on older or low-end mobile devices. It can cause your game to crash and lag, ruining the entire experience.

See for yourself

Overall, PAYDAY: Crime War is a unique shooter game emphasizing bank robberies and shootouts with the police. It also comes with an online multiplayer mode, allowing you to play with up to four players. Even so, the optimization issues of this app and bugs may spoil your gameplay experience. If you can get past that, this game can be a fun way to kill time.
