City of Gangsters

City of Gangsters — is a turn-based economic strategy game from SomaSim. The game is not the studio’s debut, there are already other strategy games in the developer catalog 1849 and Project Highrise. City of Gangsters allows us to expand our own mafia empire. We play the role of a rookie gangster during the Prohibition years, who takes control of the city as his goal, supplying it with alcohol. To do this, we need to create secret distilleries, sales channels, hire competent subordinates, and ultimately get rid of the competition. However, you should hurry, because the ban will not last forever. In City of Gangsters, we play the role of a rookie gangster who decides to take advantage of the US ban. The game begins in the 1920s.

About This Game

However, we have little time to conquer the city, because the story ends in 1933, when alcohol was again legalized. City of Gangsters is a turn-based economic game in which the player’s task is to create a mafia family from scratch. To do this, we need to ensure a stable supply of alcohol, retail outlets and not to allow our competition to grow too strong. The main resource in the game is different types of alcohol. Our job is to provide what citizens want at the moment. We get alcohol in different ways we open our own distilleries or we import goods from outside the city. It is important to control the demand for our products, because customers who want to buy wine for dinner will be less willing to buy something stronger and, of course, they will not want to pay too much for it.

Of course, if the alcohol is already there, it is equally important to get it where it will be sold. The key to success in the City of Gangsters is the competent distribution of tasks to our subordinates. They will deliver goods and take care of other families. The mafia world is unfriendly and trust is gold. People are divided into those who support us and those who need to be persuaded. It’s worth dealing with because people who like us will be open to new, more profitable businesses. Contacts and other members of the mafia family will allow us to increase our influence in the city. We can open new distilleries in controlled territories, as well as sell goods, so it is worth regularly expanding our borders if necessary by force.
