Gameplay

The game resembles Counter-Strike, including its "cops and robbers" setup, game modes and map layouts.[4] It features an extensive weapon modification system that allows both mechanic and cosmetic upgrades.[5] The game focuses on clans and team-based progression. Clans will compete for territory, with clan performance in four weekly "street fight" events determining possession of city districts.[1]

Business model

District 187 is free-to-play, with all weapons available for in-game currency only. Players are charged real money for cosmetic modifications and for upgrades that speed up the acquisition of in-game currency.[4]

Development

The game was developed for western audiences by CJ Corporation's North American subsidiary.[6] On October 3, 2013 the developers shut down the game servers and took the game offline. It is now no longer available.[7]
