Omerta: City of Gangsters is just waiting for you, Boss. And there's enough shady business for all, just as long as everyone understands you call the shots in this simulation game with tactical turn-based combat set up by the Haemimont Games outfit.
You can play nice and put up enough of a front to come to be admired as a pillar of the community, or go gloves off and drive down the street gunning down any and all who dare stand on your path to complete control, just for kicks or to cooly guarantee your profit margins stay on the dot.
(...) players will take on the role of a freshly arrived immigrant who is looking to make a name for himself in 1920's prohibition-era Atlantic City. Money is power in the city, and you can earn "clean" money, or surround yourself in dirty money, earned through criminal activities that range from bootlegging to bank-robbery.
What you can count on, by the numbers:
• Historically accurate, meticulous representation of Atlantic City and its landmarks
• Strategic gameplay allows city overview, planning, expansion and gathering of intel
• Turn-based tactical combat with a cover system and stealth action
• 15 unique player controlled characters each with unique personalities and backgrounds
• A RPG system for development of player characters and managing their equipment
• Competitive and cooperative multiplayer mode with persistent gangs
• 15+ hours of gameplay in a single play-through
• 20 unique maps visualizing the various districts of Atlantic City
