Crime Cities is a futuristic action title developed by Techland and published for Windows in 2000. The game blends high-speed flying combat with mission-based objectives in a dystopian cyberpunk world. Players take on the role of elite pilots flying advanced hovercrafts through sprawling neon cityscapes, engaging in smuggling runs, races, and intense airborne battles against rival factions and criminal syndicates.
The game stands out for its fast-paced aerial dogfights, diverse mission types, and distinctive sci-fi atmosphere driven by gritty visuals and an electronic soundtrack. Its open-ended structure lets you choose assignments, upgrade your craft with better weapons and armor, and carve out your own path in a lawless megacity. Strategic use of weapons, shields, and speed is key to surviving tougher opponents as you rise through the ranks.
Despite its age, Crime Cities maintains a cult following thanks to its unique hybrid of racing and action elements, offering both adrenaline-pumping combat and exploration across interconnected urban environments.
