The game
Crime X Law is a top-down territorial RTS. You pick a side — the police or a fictional crime faction — and contest districts in an invented city. Both sides share the same game structure, with asymmetric building and unit trees.
The loop is urban Stronghold: base, resources, buildings, expansion, and combat. The map is not a documentary of Brazil. It is stylized drama. Factions, names, and territories are fictional on purpose.
This is the first game from Archs Games, and it is in development. Trailer, date, and confirmed platforms will land on this page when they exist.
Setting
A fictional city with Brazilian visual and cultural language — alleys, rooftops, informal markets, and overpasses. Invented districts, each with its own vocation (port, downtown, outskirts). Stylized drama, never documentary: no real factions, organizations, or named territories.

Game modes
01
Real-time PvP
1v1 or team matches on a contested territory map. Classic RTS match length — about 20 to 40 minutes.
02
Persistent territory
Each player or faction keeps land on a world map. Building, production, and training keep moving while you are offline. Attacks become a battle simulation — resolved automatically if the defender is away, or fought live if they are online.
03
Faction co-op
Several players on the same side share territory and resources. Each one runs a cell of the base and contributes to joint defense and coordinated attacks.
