Zaptiye: Open world action adventure for Android

Looking for a historical open-world adventure on your phone? This Zaptiye APK download for Android brings you version 1.55 of the free action game from Turkish studio Pilav Prodüksiyon, the team behind Age of Ottoman. It comes as an XAPK file and plays completely offline.

About Zaptiye and How It Plays

The game is set in the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 19th century, shortly before World War I. You take the role of a zaptiye, a soldier loyal to the empire and Sultan Abdulhamid, sent to bring peace back to a city overrun by criminals, extremist groups, bounty hunters, thieves and dangerous gangs.

The storyline builds steadily as you complete missions and reaches an intense climax. The developer clearly worked to recreate the era, and it shows in the clothing, the buildings, the streets and even the weapons.

Zaptiye follows an open-world design. You can roam the city on foot or on horseback and discover locations through the map. On-screen virtual buttons let you run and leap across rooftops. The 3D graphics are decent rather than spectacular, but smooth, responsive gameplay gives the game a console-like feel.

Missions, Combat and Progression

There are dozens of main and side missions marked on the map, mixing chases, shootouts and stealth sections. You decide how to approach each one: slip through quietly and take enemies down silently, or charge in head-on.

Combat is a big part of the experience, covering both gunfights and close-quarters melee with swords, pistols and other firearms. Along the way you collect money, gear and items around the city, then use them to upgrade your character, equipment and fighting abilities.

With more than 100,000 downloads and a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Google Play, Zaptiye has won over players who enjoy games in the style of West Gunfighter.
