The game offers high replayability due to its randomized elements, including equipment, gang member stats, enemy locations, and random events, ensuring that each playthrough feels unique and different from the last.
“It has lots of replayability value as everything from available equipment to gang members' stats to the location of the enemy you're trying to find are randomized at the start of each game.
