Looking for a game like Torn?
Torn is one of the best-known text-based crime games, and plenty of players are looking for something in the same spirit. STATURE is a newer, free browser crime RPG that keeps what makes the genre fun and adds its own ideas.
What will feel familiar
If you've played text-based crime games before, you'll settle in quickly:
- It's free and runs in your browser, on desktop or mobile, with nothing to install.
- Energy, Nerve and Focus refill over time and power everything you do.
- Gyms and battle stats decide how strong you are in a fight.
- Crimes with rising difficulty, loot, heat and the risk of Jail.
- Player combat, with Hospital time for whoever loses.
- Organisations that pool money, upgrade and go to war with each other.
- Travel to other cities to trade, during which you're away from the action at home.
- A persistent world: the city keeps moving while you're logged out.
What's different in STATURE
| Feature | How it works in STATURE |
|---|---|
| Fair-fight wars | War points scale from 50% to 150% with your opponent's strength, so farming weaker players doesn't pay. Turnout multiplies each side's score, and rewards follow how fair and decisive the war was. |
| Territory and the Crown | Organisations fight 72-hour Borough Wars for parts of the city, then a Crown War each season. The Crown holder sets city-wide policies for every player. |
| Eight battle stats and Fatigue | Eight stats instead of a handful, and a Fatigue system that rewards regular, smart training over grinding. |
| Scavenging and crafting | Search eight sites for materials and blueprint fragments, then craft your own weapons, armour and attachments. |
| Player-run businesses | Found a legitimate or criminal business, hire real players and grow its star rating. |
| Contacts and errands | Seven characters around the city offer timed errands. Reputation with each one unlocks better work. |
| Dynasties | Found a family with a crest, a shared estate and a legacy score, as well as your organisation. |
| A British city | Greyhaven is a gritty British city, with pounds, boroughs and back roads. |
Who STATURE suits
STATURE suits players who like slow-burn progression, competing against real people and having more than one way to win. You can be a career criminal, an honest worker, a business owner, a trader running goods between cities, or the head of an organisation fighting for the Crown District.
The game is in alpha and growing quickly, with new features most weeks. You can read every update in the patch notes. Early players can still claim a place in the Founding 50, which comes with a numbered Founder's Crown and permanent recognition.
