Omerta: City Of Gangsters

[mchls]

Titled Omerta – City of Gangsters, the game will focus on the activities of organized crime in Atlantic City in the 1920’s where players take on the role of “a fresh-off-the-boat gangster, as he struggles to make a name for himself and build a criminal empire in a meticulously recreated prohibition-era Atlantic City.”

Gameplay combines strategic elements as players spread their empire across the map. It also contains elements of tactical, turn-based combat with players fighting gun battles with rival gangs and the police.

Here’s the blurb on the gameplay: “The player strategically manages his business and his minions in a real-time format, slowly but steadily increasing his influence over the city. The player sends his henchmen out on missions ranging from assassinating an informant, to raiding a warehouse, springing a friend from prison, robbing a bank, or attacking a rival gang’s hideout. Nobody is above the law in Atlantic City, so it always helps to have a little cash handy to bribe a policeman or pay off a politician.”

Combat focuses on the tactical command of “The Boss” and his henchmen with cover and stealth essential parts of any shootout.

Omerta - City of Gangsters heading to Xbox 360, PC

Publisher Kalypso Media and Tropico series developer Haemimont Games are bringing mob city simulator Omerta - City of Gangsters to Xbox 360 this fall.

Instead of controlling the day to day of Tropico's banana republic operations, Omerta takes place in the 1920s, as players work their way up as a powerful mobster on the macro level. The made men and women of Omerta must construct or buy building to create speakeasies, distilleries, illegal boxing rings and much more to be good earners. If they don't, well... we hear fishes make great cuddle buddies.
