TORN - Text-based criminal game

Damaskox@lemmy.world to Games@lemmy.world – 52 points –

Run rampant with criminal (and other) activities in the city of TORN!

Some features:

  • Levels, experience, merits (merits make the game overall easier and faster)
  • Energy bar (attacks and gym training uses it as well as some other activities)
  • Nerve bar (crimes use nerve. Lots of different crimes to delve into!)
  • Trading and money-making (items, points, properties, bank investments, stock market, bounty hunting)
  • Traveling (has many benefits)
  • Gambling, racing
  • Factions and companies for extra benefits
  • Different events (for instance, the ongoing Halloween event) that give different benefits
  • NPC Missions

TORN is not so fast-paced. While some things you can do many times a day, this is a game about the "long run". So, to be decent at it, it requires months (if not years) of gameplay to grow stats, your cash pile and to experience the game in its many ways. I'd say it can still be a fun game even if you spent less time in it though!

  • I'm on Lvl 15. I have unlocked less than 1% of all the game awards. My account is 0,77 years old
  • My battle stats are crap without a doubt (even more so when compared to the strongest players), but I only target weak players who have left their accounts ages ago so it doesn't matter much
  • I'm in a company and a faction that provides capacity bonuses to the item amount I can buy through traveling
  • I have unlocked stock market. I make some small money through that sometimes. I also do bank investments
  • I have set up a private island rent with faction friends. They rent it for me. It provides happiness and other benefits
  • I sell random stuff from time to time. Plushies is my biggest income
  • I participate in weekly chains (it's a faction fight system) with my faction friends as a token of my appreciation for being aboard with them on our common journey
  • I have pretty much mastered the two first new crime types (provided through the new crime system of TORN) - small thefts and bootlegging. Working on the graffiti crime as the next goal. Card skimming is probably my most favorite crime type at this point

Since OP didn't post a link with referral I'll post my own 😉 (you get merits if someone reaches lvl 10 hint hint) https://www.torn.com/2965724

I wanted to tell about the game while not making it too beneficial for me 🙂

It I ever recommend something with a referral link I just offer both links.

The game giving me some Ogame vibes, is there any p2w?

Donator status does offer perks beneficial to game play. Its 5$ a month. But not p2w in the sense of the more money you sink in, the easier it is to advance.

Pay to win?

There is a subscription system I think. Gives a bigger energy pool, higher energy regeneration and I think it also gives points. It can be bought with game money as well, I think.

Haven't looked into it myself.

Naaah make it beneficial why not? Plus merits are kinda important

If someone joins without referral that's a merit lost to everyone (this is very sad)
