I actually love this game, the concept is pretty good and the dynamics are interesting, but late game is an absolute chore with all the micromanaging that you have to do. I've never made it to the end of prohibition because of that.

Awesome economics strategy game. Very interesting once you grasp its mechanics. Setting up logistics, managing resources, feels like running a real distribution business.. with violence

This game is the only thing that comes close to the city management type gameplay of Gangsters:Organized Crime and that game IS the best Gangster sim ever made, hands down, no contest. It has never been matched until this game and for that, this game is highly recommended. Very replayable with enough depth for you to really feel like you are taking over a city with your gang. No buggy RTS crap here, just pure turn based management. This game fills a much needed space in the mafia genre.

1,400 Hours Later… Still Running My Empire I have just over 1,400 hours in City of Gangsters, so I feel qualified to write this. And respectfully think the most of any review (can we be friends if I'm wrong?) This game is fantastic. Yes, it’s buggy. And honestly? That’s part of the charm for me. I grew up loving bug testing and system breaking, and this game absolutely scratches that itch. Figuring out how to optimize production chains, reduce turn cycles, and squeeze maximum profit out of contracts became an obsession. At one point I engineered my operation so I could produce moonshine in a single turn with upgrades and consistently turn in 60 units for $1,600 per contract. Sometimes the quest looped. Sometimes it disappeared. Testing saves, experimenting with variables, and reverse-engineering what made the system tick became its own meta game. For players who enjoy digging into mechanics, this is gold. People say the game is abandoned. I disagree. It was built, supported, expanded with solid DLC, and it stands as a complete experience. I’m currently running the Pittsburgh map with the Politics and Gambling DLC and loving it. I’m sitting at $400k in 1928, own most of the map, and haven’t used a single cheat. Just pure mechanics, optimization, favors, distribution chains, and relationship management. This is not a flashy action game. It’s a management sandbox. You build speakeasies, run illegal distilleries, manage production chains, leverage favors, chase down debtors, bribe police, and slowly turn a street corner operation into a machine. If you like games like Stellaris, Civilization, or RuneScape where depth and systems matter more than spectacle, you’ll probably appreciate this. If you’re the kind of player who enjoys finding economic loops and pushing systems to their limits, this is absolutely your kind of game. I honestly think The Spiffing Brit would have a field day with it. There are also some excellent community wikis that help explain the nuances the game expects you to learn organically. Would I love official mod support or a sequel? Absolutely. Am I disappointed with what exists? Not at all. For what it is, City of Gangsters is a deep, satisfying, mechanically rich management game that absolutely deserves its Mostly Positive rating.

Tremendous game, the definition of easy to learn, hard to master. It's painful reading a lot of the other reviews of this gem. People just bounced off it because they wanted some sort of action FPS title. There is far too much depth here for the average nimrod. If you like a nuanced strategy/tycoon title where you have to manage a ridiculously broad web of relationships and businesses, this will be right up your alley. The DLCs, while not necessary, add politics, cross-border clandestine shipments, gambling... excellent stuff. I'm 90 hours deep here and still have a lot more to get the 100%. The developers, SomaSim, do excellent work, and this is their best title.
