Game summary

Drug Wars is a gritty, gory romp through a futuristic New York City, circa 3100, where severe global warming conditions have resulted in a harsh divide between upper-class Brooklyn gang bosses and a booming population of engineered Neanderthal bottom-dwellers. Using the powerful CryEngine 2, Paleo Entertainment offers players of Drug Wars a collection of varied maps rife for fast-paced multiplayer chaos, featuring a deadly variety of weapons, including everything from a biomechanical arm to environmental objects - including the severed limbs of your foes - to gain control of the coveted drug trade. Add in several brand-new vehicles to both traverse across the detailed landscapes and mow down your opponents, and Drug Wars offers up a slew of game options to keep players addicted to the bloody fun.

Play Drug Wars on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Drug Wars on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
