Drop City: Rob and Kill

By the third minute of the game, your designer clothes and cash will be stolen. Your home will be destroyed, and someone will defile your carpet.

Choose a nice game with piggies, flowers, and anime girls. You don’t need Drop City.

There’s no two-week-long tutorial here. No consolation prizes either.

Drop City is a hardcore place, but it’s genuinely fun:

■ The story isn’t pulled out of thin air. It’s a mature noir-detective tale with a femme fatale, crooked cops, and monsters.

■ A collection of shadow monsters you can level up and unleash on your enemies.

■ Constant conflicts and massive battles for control of the city.

■Stylish outfits and cool weapons that you can steal from other players.

■ Collectible cards, perks, and different build types — and much more to create an awesome character.

■ A real multiplayer experience where it’s tough, but you can make it to the top of the leaderboards.
