Build a Crime Empire:
Raise your criminal empire from the ground up by establishing racket in
your neighborhood (be it speakeasies, breweries, brothels, Union
skimming, protection racket, or casinos) and recruiting a team of loyal
mobsters to make your mark on the streets. Once you make a name for
yourself, expand your influence by taking over rival territory and
adding more ventures to your repertoire.
Explore a living, breathing city: take to the streets of vibrant 1920s
Chicago and its distinct neighborhoods, such as little Italy or West
loop, with real historical landmarks and events. Interact with a full
cast of over 60 living, breathing characters with backgrounds that
inform how they react to what you or other characters do. Each
recruitable character has traits and relationships that significantly
affect gameplay and Vice versa. Schmooze, coerce, seduce, threaten, or
kill them to get your way.
Â
Defend and Expand Territory:
If it comes to blows, hypothetically of course, and your posse needs to
send a message, face off in brutal turn-based combat. Recruit your
goons strategically to build a strong Chemistry within your crew to
maximise combat damage and help secure your hold on the city.
Â
Wield Your Influence:
Make and break alliances, bribe cops, and trade on the Black market to
gain an edge and expand the influence of your crime family. But always
keep your enemies close and ensure you have a Mole on the inside and
eyes everywhere.
Dominate the Neighborhood:
Whether you make it to the top with violence, business smarts, or
city-wide notoriety, there are a number of ways to become King or Queen
of Chicago. With various starting conditions and constantly changing
crew dynamics, no two playthroughs will ever be the same
