WTF?
I listed three russian shops, but did not suggested one.
I have not bought anything from roxen before, but some people on this board did. So i put that shop into my favourites.

It sucks that you can't retreat when the menu battle comes up, what if the fight is too hard then you're screwed.

Game automatically saves before every fight. So just press escape and load the latest autosave if it goes hard. Or use Autoresolve so many times until you get it right.
Besides, none of the characters die, they just sustain heavy injuries that take a few days to heal.

Or just buy it from YuPlay, and when you get the key from Roxen, sell it on Ebay.
I bet you will even get more for it than you paid. Just mention that you need VPN only for activation.

I like it. A bit simplistic but in a way that doesn't ruin the game. The turn-based aspect is well-handled as well.
Is the story (if you can call it that way) long?

Just played this for a few hours. few sp missions but mostly sandbox.
the maps are small, there is little to no oversight to what is going on once you get a load of businesses going. Combat felt ok, but nothing like x-com.
Had hoped for more

I agree with the people above, ultimately it gets a bit boring. There's just not much going on, it's very limited in its variety. I'll finish the 'story', but I don't see why I would play the sandbox mode more than an hour. You're basically doing the same thing over and over again since there's nothing to stop you (no enemy gangster or rivals).
Asking the full price for an obvious budget title is a really shitty move.

Eurogamer gave it 3/10. Guess that's the end of it.
Very sad. Was expecting much more. Not something as deep as Gangsters: Organized Crime, of course not, this game takes it much less "seriously", but still, was expecting more. Game's fun but it's as shallow as a Justin Bieber lyric. I wanted it to be good. Goddammit. Why do they always have to disappoint with the games that really show promise. I'm gonna play the storyline to the end, anyway.

PC Gamer gave it 78/100. Guess that's a good sign.
Game is good. I only found out about it 2 months ago. There wasn't really any advertising on it, I guess Kalypso played it safe on it.
But it does what a game should do. Give you fun. Sure it's not extremelly challenging, but graphics are ok, voice overs are fantastic, music/soundtrack is fabolous.
But wait, what if like Kalypso decides based on good sales that it should deserve a sequel, which would give us a really deep and challenging game.
Like I said, Kalypso probably played it safe.

I have zero confidence in the articles written by Dan Whitehead on Eurogamer. He's known for being opinionated and he's also know for giving big scores to triple A games from big companies.
Also known for the Alpha Protocol bashing (a game that quickly became a cult game).
Wait for some more reviews to come out.
As for score, i'd say 6/10 would be a more spot on score.

I think it's pretty awful. It plays like a popcap game. You just click shit on the screen. The city management is really simple, and the combat is awful. Turn based can certainly be good but the implementation is dreadful. The AI is shit, they just all make a bee line for the lowest health guy. The controls are shit, there's just nothing well done about it.
3/10 is pretty accurate. It's shovelware. If they were asking $10 my opinion might be different, but asking $40 for this is inexcusable.

if you ask me this game looks like an unfinished rushed game, it could be good, if the y invested in more aspects of the game.

Hilarious sarcasm but when you click giant portraits with checkmarks on them it's no different from a flash game and it qualifies as shit

The more I play the more I think about how this is a disaster how much potential was wasted with this game.
If I was the Mafia I'd call up these guys and "ask" them to better the game because it makes 20's organized crime look really bad. Like, not bad in a cool, good way.
Soundtrack's fine though, and voice acting is top notch.

Been playing it for a couple of hours, and while I'm still enjoying it, I also have the feeling it will become boring very fast.
Turn based combat is the best part of the game. It's fun, although a bit simplistic. Your characters can never die, for example, and I think enemies don't even move until they see you.
The city part... I don't know. It's all just too shallow really for a management game. In Tropico, you had to link your buildings with eachother through roads and optimalize how resources are distributed by using your teamsters, but that's is all gone here. In Omerta, you just build your stuff, and they are magially connected without needing to do anything. So you can build a brewery on one side of the city, a bar on the other side, and... that's it. Well done 
You do this for beer, liquor and guns. Buildings need no maintenance, no crew, can't be attacked and are stocked automatically, so you're basically doing it once and then forget about it. As long as the incoming beer/liquor/guns is greater or equal than the outgoing amounts, there's no need to bother again with this part of the game.
There are no overview or statistic screens, you only have the small overview when you hover over your resources, and the 'spacebar-menu', with which you can go to your buildings. Your different buildings are also not indicated clearly in the game. Speakeasies that aren't yours have a specific speakeasy icon. But for some reason, however, your speakeasy has the regular joint icon, just as your pizza place and pharmacy, for example. So you quickly forgot which is what. No special icons on the mini-map either, so you're pretty much stuck with the spacebar-menu.
Also, the whole police threat and investigation is just a timer in disguise. The police threat bar will always go up, you can't seem to completely stop it. And in order to reset it to 0, you either have to pay an increasing amount (until the amount is so high you can't afford it anymore), or you use the one-shots from the city, like politicians and cops (they disappear after single use). So it seems that you can't really play the game ad infinitum, because of the ever increasing cost to reset threat/investigation.
I have completed 2 out of 3 available missions on the map, which I guess are the tutorials. Maybe it will open up more, but I honestly doubt it. Glad I didn't buy it.

You can pay off Deputy Kingsley and he'll usually take 1-2-3 heat off for 150-300-450, it's in the special job tab. You can get friendly with some of the independent business owners and frame them. Not sure if you can do this ad infinitum. Later on, you can build on construction lots - these are basically a whole new set of buildings (flophouse, warehouse, casino, hotel, hospital, lawyers and so on). Lawyers supposedly also reduce heat.
