Drug Dealer Simulator (Xbox Review)

Drug Dealer Simulator has been around for a while on PC, but it finally made its way to Xbox, and later this year will make its way to PS5. For now, however, Ultimate Games was kind enough to toss me a copy to check out on Xbox.

This game has a very simple premise. You are poor as hell, you want to not be poor, and you know a guy who can get you in touch with the right people to buy the drugs you need to keep the locals happy.

From the start, a typical day starts like this. Use your laptop to contact Eddie and tell him how much of each drug you want. Then go pick them up from the drop-off point and bring them home. Hopefully, you don’t get nailed by the cops and really screw yourself over. Don’t worry, early in the game, this is pretty easy to do. From here, you set up your deals again with the laptop. Use your table to split your drugs up into smaller quantities and make your deals.

This is the basic game loop, but if you want to truly succeed, you need to do more. Grab yourself some salt and mix some in with your meth to boost how far it goes, turning extra profit. Be careful, tho, while certain things make your drugs more addictive, they can also be toxic and kill your customers.

More money means you can expand your business into new areas and buy businesses that will make your income seem more legitimate. This will be important in keeping the cops and DEA from kicking your door in. Suspicious activity will bring up your risk meter, and so will depositing large amounts of money into your account. The account is needed for all your bills because in this world, Big Brother is watching.

Graphically, it is undeniable that Drug Dealer Simulator is lacking. The game doesn’t look bad, but it has been out a while on PC, and there is even a sequel (that will also be coming to consoles at some point), but the gameplay itself is top-notch. Ducking behind buildings and hopping fences to avoid police while you have a backpack filled with cash and weed is a lot of fun. I don’t suggest playing the home version, but the simulator? 8/10 must play. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
