![]() ![]() Whether you’re battling rival gangs in the streets, or engaging in close quarters combat in another mob boss’ HQ, it’s never fun, even if you’re winning the battles fairly easily. This is primarily due to the fact that combat in this game is a pretty dull slog. It’s just that the process of getting there is incredibly tedious. What’re more, it lives up to what it promises to do: allow you to take over a mob empire. It very clearly sets out what you have to do at the beginning of the game through an incredibly lengthy tutorial - which, to some, may feel like overkill, though as someone who’s not great at management sims or turn-based squad battles, I appreciated all the info. ![]() Now, let me be clear: this is by no means a bad game. The problem comes when you actually have to play Empire of Sin. As you walk around the city, jazz music wafting through the background, it’s really easy to get sucked into the game and to see what the developers were aiming to do. It nails the Jazz Age vibe perfectly, in everything from the buildings, to the cars, to the way people dress, to the way they talk. It’s a gangster simulator set in 1920s Chicago at the height of Prohibition - and, as someone who loves fiction set in that era, that’s pretty much all I needed to fall in love with the game’s aesthetic.Īnd make no mistake, it’s one heck of an aesthetic. I want to like Empire of Sin so much more than I do. ![]()
