Description
Become a made man as you vie for power in a Chicago-like town during the
prohibition era. Gangsters is the strategy game where crime pays--and with
dividends! You can don the knuckle dusters and “persuade” the local
business owners to pay you for “protection” services. You can get your
hands even more dirty and navigate in the cutthroat world of politics. Or
simply go for the throat as you order your wiseguys to execute your enemies
in the streets and show the city who’s “da boss”. Gangsters gives you all
the power you need to get things done.
Played in a vast city filled with over 5,000 individual characters,
Gangsters feature real-time action in a highly detailed isometric terrain.
The game sports an easy-to use strategy planning interface, to
authentically recreate the seedy, violent, and ruthless world of gangland
mobsters. Remember, real power is never given, it’s taken!
ATI/AMD compatibility notice: Gangsters: Organized Crime requires graphic card drivers version 13.4 or older.
Run illegal businesses: extort, intimidate, bribe, and ruthlessly whack the opposition.
Become a Godfather and control every aspect of a 1920's-era mob "family".
Break the law and taunt the system or go legit and get elected Mayor!
It was a good and interesting game when I was young. So I thought to try it... But it does not work properly on win 8 so it's better to avoid if they do not fix it.
It's five stars if you love this game. I'm only reviewing this because of all the recent reviews saying it doesn't work on Windows 10 machines. Which is true, when you purchase it, which I agree is kinda messed up.
But I googled "playingGangsters: Organized Crime on Windows 10" and found a patch from a modder fixing the problem at the top of the page, along with multiple videos and links showing ways of playing the game in windows 10. (Running Windows 10 on a AMD A10 Radeon R& chip and Radeon RX 460 gpu, so not cutting edge or anything) Took a minute to download and install the patch, and the game started playable.
Should we have to look for and find a modder created patch to play a game we just bought? Eh, I'm used to jumping though a few hoops to play 20 plus year old games. It be unacceptable with anything 10 years or newer, but especially at $1.49 sale price, if you want to play this classic game it isn't that much trouble.
I got this in a games collection when it was budget ware. The idea seemed promising but the game was a huge disappointment. It is a mix of round based and real time strategy. You hire and give orders to your gangsters at the weekend and they will do them in real-time throughout the week. However you can't control them when in real-time mode which is very annoying and boring to just watch most of the time. There is also a huge learning curve for building a proper crime industry without getting bankrupt. Graphics are very repetitive, but look mostly okay. Still: the game was no fun for me. I uninstalled it pretty quickly.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
