Your bar, your block, your city: seven games for Turf Wars players

Turf Wars put the mob on the real map: claim the places you love and dare anyone to take them. These seven scratch the same itch, and every one shipped an update in 2026. In the first, your turf is a real building on your street, and the rival who wants it has to come and get it.

  1. 1. BloodRivals

    Best for real buildings you claim and defend

    Walk up to a real building and hold to claim it. Build it up so its roof earns coins, raise fighters, and defend it — because rival players and teams march on your streets to take them. Free, no ads.

  2. 2. Terraclast

    Best for towers and resources on the real map

    A GPS strategy MMO: walk to claim map tiles, build towers to hold them, and gather wood, food, water and scrap from the real landscape. Attacks resolve while you are away, and you can form alliances. A slow burn built over weeks.

    Last update: 2 September 2026

  3. 3. Ingress

    Best for team territory across a whole city

    Pick the Enlightened or the Resistance and fight over real landmarks, linking portals into control fields that can span entire cities. Built for teamwork: agents plan operations together, nearby and across the globe.

    Last update: 14 October 2026

  4. 4. Turf

    Best for monthly GPS capture races

    Take over zones in cities, neighbourhoods and nature, and collect points on local, national and global leaderboards. The leaderboards reset every month, so every round is a fresh race.

  5. 5. Mob Wars: LCN

    Best for the classic mob RPG

    The long-running text-based mob game: stats, missions and player-versus-player battles rather than a map. Quick to dip into, deep to climb.

    Last update: 17 October 2026

  6. 6. The Grand Mafia

    Best for building a crime family

    Build a crime family from the ground up and take on rival families, somewhere between a strategy empire and a mob RPG.

    Last update: 15 October 2026

  7. 7. Underworld Empire

    Best for a syndicate on your screen

    Rise from the street to the top of the underworld: build your syndicate and crush your rivals, all from your screen.

    Last update: 19 October 2026

The same rush, on your real streets

What you loved in Turf Wars was that the city was yours for the taking — your bar, your school, your workplace. In BloodRivals it still is. Walk up to an address and hold to claim it. Build it into a shop that pays by the hour or a gym that trains fighters, and the coins pile up on its roof.

Then someone wants it. Their fighters set off across the map, your house gets the warning, and now it is a race: put fighters in, call your team, or collect the coins before they land. When the attack hits, the bigger side wins — and the winner walks off with the house and every coin on the roof.

And you are not just a name on a list. Your BloodFighter is a hero you drive across the map yourself: STUN a rival, SHIELD a teammate, JUMP across town, land a KO. His guard aura covers the houses around wherever you park him.

Common questions

What are the best games like Turf Wars in 2026?
BloodRivals for real buildings you claim, build up and defend with a team, Terraclast for towers and resources on the real map, Ingress for team territory across whole cities, and Turf for monthly GPS capture races. For the mob RPG side, Mob Wars: LCN, The Grand Mafia and Underworld Empire.
Is BloodRivals like Turf Wars?
Yes, in the part that matters: you claim real places in your city and defend them from other players. In BloodRivals every turf is one real building at one real address. You build it up, fill it with fighters, and a rival has to come and take it.
Is Turf Wars still updated?
Yes. It has been on the App Store since 2009 and last shipped an update in May 2026. Keep playing it if you love it — BloodRivals is a second city to fight over.
How do you take turf?
An empty or undefended address is yours the moment you stand at it. A house with fighters in it you attack: send your fighters, they march across the map, and when they land the bigger side wins. Take it and you take the coins sitting on its roof too.
Can I bring my friends?
Yes. Join a team, hold ground together and climb the leaderboard as one. Attacks that land on the same house at the same moment become one battle, so a team that times it right takes houses nobody could take alone.
Do I have to walk to every place I want?
Only to claim new ground: you take an address by standing at it. Holding it, building it up, training fighters and sending them at a guarded house all work from wherever you are.
How much does BloodRivals cost?
Nothing to download. Free to play, optional in-app purchases, no ads.
