Guess lets see if THIS one will finally give us something good. Whatever that last one was that came out was a mess.

That one wasn't too bad compared to the crap Paradox released not long ago.

It's by the creators of Project Highrise, so I expect it to be better than Empire of Sin. Omerta: City of Gangsters was an okay game, but it's about time we finally have a spiritual successor to Gangsters: Organized Crime.

This could be good. Last wannabe was laughable at best.

The abomination SpykeZ is referring to is Empire of Sin published by Paradox - utter SJW trash. That said, I for one liked Omerta: City of Gangsters, despite the simplicity of it. It set a wonderful tone.

We'll see what happens what this one - it'd be nice to have a GOOD gangster game for once!

City of Gangsters-GoldBerg

It's mobile-trash levels of bad. Kudos to the marketing team for hiding how limited and stale it is in the trailer!

I did.

Super heavy micromanagement even when you try to automate supply lines. Pushback from police/enemy gangs is more or less non-existent. Combat is a blind RNG roll with weapon damage factored in (there's a list of weapons, each one with higher damage than the next - there's no reason to use the lower tiered ones). The entire UI needs an overhaul in order to make management in late-game feasible.

Omerta: City of Gangsters is far better than this in more or less all regards, unfortunately.

Now I'm 0/2 in getting burned on decent mob games. Oh well, I guess $20 isn't the end of the world, but it still stings a bit.

Why can't anyone do this shit right? Sad

Dev was deleting (bad) review posts before release, so I knew it was bad, before I actually found out it was bad Smile Still, no loss, and gaming proceeding normally as per usual these days Wink

Boring overcomplicated mess with shitty UI. I know one day there will be a good gangster game, this one ain't it. Honestly, I spent more time with PDX's turd.

Oh, I already did when I posted. For 30 mins or so.
The 200+mb rip was already a fiiiiine hint Laughing

Yeah, I guess it's fine for like 0.99 in a mobile bargain game bin. Wouldn't have bought it, of course, but that seem about right in terms of value.

It's just so terrible there's no review to be done. Abysmal UI, uninspired, simplistic and tired mechanics, horrendous, shitty art, elevator music. ENDLESS TRAAAAAASH.

Please trust this statement: just scratch it off your list, go on to the next thing. Don't be like me, don't waste a second on this steamy turd.
