This character-driven, noir-inspired game puts players smack-dab in the glitz and glamor of the roaring 20s, letting them thrive in the gritty underbelly of organized crime. It’s up to you to hustle, charm and intimidate your way to the top of the pile and do whatever it takes to stay there. After a significant UI rework and a major polish runthrough, Empire of Sin could be a great strategy game, but at the moment players will spend less time playing and more time being frustrated.Empire of Sin, the strategy game from Romero Games and Paradox Interactive, puts you at the heart of the ruthless criminal underworld of 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago. However, Empire of Sin will unfortunately fight the player at every turn as if the game itself is a demanding and ungrateful gangster boss. Maxim Klose-Ivanov, Cultured Vultures: "The love and adoration for the setting is clear as 1920s Chicago is brought to life with care and dedication and the game works well on the whole, if not innovating much on any one particular feature or mechanic. Luke Plunkett, Kotaku: "There are some cool ideas here, and it has plenty of heart, but my time with Empire of Sin left me feeling more like a bookkeeper with a tabletop wargaming hobby than a gangster." The impressive blend of turn-based strategic combat, managing your finances, negotiating with other gang leaders, and narrative roleplaying combines elements of different strategic subgenres into a highly entertaining cohesive experience."

When you mash so many genres together some elements can feel like unnecessary bloat.It's a game rich with detail, but the admin and combat systems end up fighting one another.When negotiations break down and you end up in a shoot-out with enemies that look like they’re dressed for a wedding, Empire Of Sin feels like a farce worthy of a Coen brothers movie." It's a game that teeters on the edge of excellence, let down by a few key problems. Tom Senior, Rock, Paper, Shotgun: "This is a fascinating hybrid that feels like both Civ and Syndicate. He was great until a police officer strayed into a rumble we were having and he died. You can get to know the gangsters you employ, like Big Fat Gibby Willard (that's his name!), who runs around in trousers and braces but no top, exposing his flabby upper half. Robert Purchese, Eurogamer: "Perhaps more importantly, you can get right up close to the people you control, which breathes personality into the game.

The rival factions are more a nuisance than a threat, pestering you incessantly for alliances and favors. Covid-19's impact on quality assurance may well have a been a factor here, but there are broader problems, too.
