CrimeCraft is a free-to-play online Persistent World Next-generation Shooter dubbed "PWNS" by developer Vogster Entertainment and published at retail by THQ. The game is set in the near future where the world lies in anarchy and gangs have replaced governments.
CrimeCraft was released at retail through an exclusive deal with Best Buy and THQ in the United States and Canada and online worldwide on August 25, 2009. In late October 2009, CrimeCraft received their first major patch update, which included an unlimited free trial. There have been regular updates to the game since that time to add more content and to fix several major bugs that were present in the game at launch. Designers at Vogster Entertainment take a great deal of notice to the Crimecraft community. Input by the community plays a major role in decisions for future updates. The game is now available on Steam in the Free to Play section. CrimeCraft now has two servers, 1 located in Europe, and 1 located in the United States.
CrimeCraft is periodically updated by the developers, adding new features, maps, gametypes, and community requests to the game. Also, Vogster has released two expansions which include updates as well as extra content.
CrimeCraft GangWars is the newest expansion to CrimeCraft and was released in Winter 2011.
Key features
Bleedout is the first legitimate expansion for CrimeCraft and was released in autumn 2010.
Key features
The Bleedout campaign was broken up into episodes that were released weekly for ten weeks. These episodes have a set of missions, as well as art done by illustrators in the comic book industry. Each episode will progress through a small part of the Bleedout storyline and will be free to subscribed players. There will be a small fee for each episode for those players who do not have subscriptions.
Vogster has partnered with American comic book company Archaia to expand on the new Bleedout storyline. Together, they released the Bleedout: The Graphic Novel which featured the artwork of the illustrators that have worked on the Bleedout campaign within CrimeCraft. It will has a similar pattern as the Bleedout expansion. Artists each contribute their own stylized illustrations to a separate chapter of the novel.
CrimeCraft revolves around gang warfare, combining role-playing elements as well as an MMO environment. A large, persistent city acts as the game’s lobby where players can form gangs, accept missions and buy new weapons. The game consists of twelve game modes, which can be broken down into two major categories: PvP game modes, wherein players compete against each other, and PvE game modes, wherein players compete against computer controlled AI bots, as well as Core Assault, which is a hybrid of both PvP and PvE. Other features include questing, achievements, crafting and gang hideouts.
