과거 갱스터즈라는 게임처럼 월드맵을 펼쳐놓고 경영하는 파트와 엑스컴 언노운 혹은 제기드 스타일의 택틱컬 전술파트를 접목시키려는 시도는 매우 훌륭했고 어느정도 재밌게 즐기기도 했다. 하지만 양쪽 모두 깊이가 부족하고 수박 겉핥기식으로 만들다보니 결과적으로는 이도저도아닌 매우 애매한 물건이 되어버렸다.

명색히 트로피코라는 괜찮은 경영시뮬을 제작한 회사치고는 예전 갱스터즈류 수준에서 전혀 발전된게 없다. 이 부분은 개인편차가 좀 있을텐데 아무튼 스토리상 대부의 자리에 오르는 상황에 비해서 스케일도 너무 작고 지나치게 단순하다. 가게를 점령해서 비즈니스를 시작하고 호감도와 공포도를 올리고 미션목표를 완수하는 패턴이 전부다. 메인스토리를 진행하고나면 뭔가 거대한 튜토리얼을 끝냈다는 기분이 들 정도다. 그렇다면 샌드박스모드에서라도 좀 경영하는 맛이 나야하는데 결국 메인미션에서 목표만 달라지는 수준이라 가장 재밌어야할 샌드박스모드가 되려 지루해져버리는 상황이 되버린다.

전술모드는 그나마 괜찮은 편이다. 총 6명의 조직원을 영입할수 있는데 다양한 패기(스킬), 장비, 능력치를 바탕으로 4인 공격조와 1인 지원조를 선택하여 전투를 벌인다.(때로는 3인 공격조만 된다던가 보스 혼자 벌이는 전투도 발생한다.) 하지만 체감적으로 너무 지나치게 확률빨이 강해서 결정적인 순간에 미스가 발생하면 어마어마한 짜증이 폭발한다. 차라리 권총같은 장거리무기가 아니라 야구방망이를 들고 닥돌 근접해서 패버리는게 더 나을정도다.

그리고 4인의 인원제한이 때로는 빡빡하게 느껴질때가 있다. 한 6명정도 참가가능했다면 여러가지 전술을 시도했을텐데 4인은 솔직히 제 한몸 챙기기도 바쁜 상황이 되버린다. 가장 기본적 전술인 우회같은 경우 한명이 해봐야 큰 효과도 없는데 두명이 빠져버리면 남은 2명으로는 전선을 유지하기가 힘들어져버린다. 재수없게 적들이 아군의 화망을 뚫고 근접해서 한두명이라도 죽어버리면 몇십분의 전투가 허사가 되버리니 그냥 차라리 틀어박혀서 엄폐하고 그냥 맞기만을 바라며 총싸움을 하는 노답,노잼인 플레이를 할수밖에 없게 된다.

뭐하나 딱히 내세울만한 장점이 없긴하지만 턴제전투와 경영시뮬이 갖는 특유의 몰입도는 어느정도 있는편이라 한번 시작하면 짧게 끝나지 않는다는게 참 아이러니한 부분. 거기다 조직원 육성까지 가능하다보니 좋아하는 사람은 더욱 몰입할수 있을것 같다. 전체적으로 아쉬운 부분과 눈에 띄는 부족한 부분들이 있긴하지만 최근 가격추세로 본다면 플레이목적으로 구매해보는것도 나쁘진 않을것 같다.

배경 설정이 주는 분위기 자체는 좋았는데... 너무 반복적인 진행방식이 아쉬웠다.
스토리도 특별한게 없는데다가 적대 세력이 하나씩 밖에 나오질 않아서 딱히 열심히 이것저것
해야할 필요가 없었던 점도 아쉬웠다.
차라리 삼국지처럼 여러 세력과 경쟁하는 방식이었다면 더 좋지 않았을까?!

또 속았다.

한글화에 재미를 속은것이다. 내가 참..,이번년도에는 작품선택을 정말 못하는거 같다, 아 물론 다이렉트 게임즈에서 싸서 샀다고는 하지만 ...

쉽게말해 이 게임은 금주법이 시행된 미국에 갓 상경한 촌뜨기 갱스터부터 시작한다. (진짜 그냥 이게 시작이다)

샌드박스 안에서 건물 구입해서 경마장 불법도박장 사채업등등 검은돈과 호텔 약국 병원 등등 깨끗한 돈을 오가며 경찰을 매수하고 그 지역 의원까지 매수하는등 영화에서 보는 그런 부분까지 따라 할 수 있으나..............

전투를 집고 넘어가면 이건 어중간하게 만들다만 엑스컴식 턴전략 액션이다. 엑스컴은 최소한 한턴한턴 전진에 대한 긴장감이 있지 이건 엑스컴보다 긴장감도 없고 더욱이 유저들로부터 말많은 엑스컴의 명중률보다 더한 극악의 명중률을 자랑한다.

더욱이 게임 초반에는 초반 게임버프 때문에 재미가 좀 있었지만 뒤로갈수록 똑같은 패턴 (시작->건물대여->맥주제조등 이런패턴 방식)

다이렉트 게임즈 한글화 으리때문에 구입했다 으리 !

음... 트로피코도 그렇고 이것도 그렇고 뭔가 부족한게 있다.

샌드박스로 1회차 플레이는 할만하지만 조폭이 가지는 폭력적인 흥행보다 아메리칸 드림같은 자본적인 부분들이 부각되어서

역시 경영하는 게임 느낌이 우선이고 기대한 갱스터 느낌은 나지 않는다. 1회차 플레이 후로는 손이 가지 않는다.

Omerta is not a terrible game, and I'm almost inclined to give it a thumbs up. Heck, I spent 30+ hours playing it, so you might think that's an implicit recommendation right there. But it's not.

There's enough going on in Omerta to keep you occupied in a pleasant, cow-clicker kind of way. But the strategic/RTS layer lacks enough depth to be really satisfying - every mission plays out in pretty much the same way, tilting from "how long do I have to wait until my next building? I hope I don't run out of money" over to "I'm printing money and the police are in my pocket" in about 10-15 minutes each time.

The tactical combat is pretty fun, but unlike XCOM EU, you don't feel like you're really making many interesting choices in the team construction. I've carefully balanced my squads between AoE shotgun-types and single-target pistol/rifleman. I've also just thrown a bunch of characters in with the best-rated weapons that happen to be in my inventory. Either way you'll find a way to win without too much sweat. So leveling up gang members and choosing their skills/perks becomes a forgettable side note, not the kind oi high-stakes, nailbiter moment it should.

I picked up Omerta as part of a Humble Bundle so I'm plenty happy with the purchase. If I'd dropped north of $10 on this, though, I'd feel cheated. Omerta has some nice production values, but the gameplay is a lot more like a Facebook/casual game than a real AAA title.

It is a single-player monopoly.
The main problem with the game isn't the poor combat or the fact that there's no point in strategically building your buildings for one purpose or another.
The core problem is that you can't lose.

There is no competition trying to compete for the same areas that you are. Imagine a strategy game in the style of Starcraft where you find a set of minerals but there's no point in rushing to build there because no one else will take it. As a matter of fact, there is no point in building bunkers or base defences either, because the only time you will get attacked it will be scripted.

Additionally the multiplayer is a joke. It only allows you to do a small number of pre-created missions. There were gangster games made over ten years ago that have higher quality than this!

The only good thing I can say about this game is that it has a good atmosphere. Worth 20 Euros? No, absolutely not.

I bought this game for a quick weekend play, thinking it would be an interesting pastime that I'd binge-play once or twice and then never touch again. Boy was I wrong: Omerta sucked me in with its huge campaign, awesome mechanics, cool characters and absolutely amazing soundtrack. Seriously, the soundtrack is among the greatest Jazz/Swing stuff I have ever heard, and I listen to that type of music regularly. If you like the idea of being a prohibition-era gangster and don't mind not having Mass Effect-level cutscenes (this game does not have ANY real cutscenes, just quick montages) and buy and sell on a city-spanning market of beer, liquor and guns, this game is absolutely for you.

Also, it has a DLC-campaign that is roughly the same length as the original one, and I have not even played through half of it. So buy this game, especially if it is on sale, because it really is worth your hard earned clean money.

Picked this up on sale, I felt, after playing 5 missions or so, that the game itself was very shallow. I was expecting it to _at least_ be on par with 'Gangsters: Organized Crime' which was released in 1998 (i think?). It really felt like the developers focused more on the visual and auditory effects of the game, rather than focusing on depth of in-game mechanics. The game gets pretty boring after a couple hours of playing. I wouldn't recommend buying this, unless it was on sale...

I got this game as gift for preordering an other game.
Now i am not really into crime games but i was bored so i gave it a try.
I loved every second of it.

If you consider buying this game:
Dont.

It isnt grand theft auto, tropico or anything big like that.
It is a fun little game where you do missions and build a criminal empire.
It has a good money system, a nice combat system and a decent story.
Just dont have high expectations.
This game is a fun because it is simple, easy and doesnt require much thought beyond your basic:
Action and consequence.

I only recommend it for people who like me:
Want our games to be games and not interactive movies.

Pros:
Great turn-based combat
Good character development
Good graphics
combat can be auto-resolved

Cons:
Limited Upgrade oppurtunities
Sometimes felt like repeating the same stuff did in previous missions
AI is always lucky in combat and weapons accuracy is wrong imo

I don't understand why it got such poor ratings in many gaming websites. If anyone know about Chicago 1930, an old school game similar to this. I felt like playing the same great game with much more advanced features and gameplay. Not to spoil the main character development is one of the best. If you are a mafia fan and like the turn based games, I think this one is worth buying it

Omerta — a code of silence that forbids Mafia members from cooperating with authorities and revealing information about their criminal activities.Sharing its name with the famous code, Omerta: City of Gangsters is a management simulation and turn-based tactical combat game set in prohibition-era Atlantic City that follows the activities of a newly-established mob boss.Atlantic City consists of 20 maps and each has a role to play in the overall campaign. At the start of a new chapter you get to pick which map to play on by choosing a mission. Missions have different rewards attached to them such as a level-up for your henchmen, special weapons or an increase in team size. Then the game zooms in on the streets on the map and drops you into what could be considered to be the primary melting pot of the game’s many aspects; the strategic level.Here you rent and buy properties in which you can set up both legal and illegal businesses. Character creation is reminiscent of classic turn-based RPGs like Fallout or Baldur’s Gate, but in a mobster setting. Rather than just assign points to your attributes — Muscle, Finesse, Smarts, Cunning, Guts, and Toughness — you select four or so out of a dozen options that establish your character’s aptitudes.Omerta’s turn-based combat feels like the generic brand version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, lacking any cinematic flair and seeming no more evolved than the turn-based strategy titles from the ’90s, with a cover system that feels ambiguous at best and arbitrary at worst. Sometimes you fight mobsters, sometimes you fight cops, and sometimes you fight KKK members, but there’s little nuance to be had in your approach to dealing with these foes. To Omerta’s credit, you can often skip combat with an “auto-resolve” option.What Omerta does best is capture the charm of the 1920s, from the soundtrack’s smooth jazz tunes, to the accents of the colorful characters, to the aesthetics of period city districts and vehicles. Omerta even touches on the themes of racism and sexism, issues that plagued society in those days, without being offensive or irreverent, and without taking the easy way out by ignoring them altogether.Omerta is a great game which quite successfully mixes economic management with tactical turn based combat in a well-made mobster setting.

It is hard to say, as I am torn on this one. I would give it a 6 out of 10. If it is on sale, Pick it up, it is fun. But sadly, it gets old fast. There is barely too much for replayability - in fact, after the first few levels, you start noticing there is barely too much for advancement.

First of all, I loved Mob Rules from back in the early/mid 90s. I'm also a fan of stories about the prohibition era. I don't think society would cope with prohibition now, and much less in the 20s when this took place. That is why stories are so fascinating to me. But every game about the mob during prohibition is the same, more or less, and they run dry after long.

I'll sum it up with a list of pros and cons:

Pros:

- Good story line. It isn't strong, and in fact, far from original. But it is still a good story line. It is a little unique, but nothing special. Start small, build a reputation, and become big. It even spans the full prohibition era, for the most part.

- Pretty decent city management sim. Again, nothing special here, but it is fun for a bit. There are quite a few options.

- Plenty of maps. Each one increases in options and difficulty - but again, nothing too spectacular.

- A lot of weapons and skills. Henchmen have plenty of skills to choose from, and each one can bring unique things to the table. You also have plenty of henchment to chose from based on play styles, so if you want a team of masterminds, or maybe thugs - there is room for this.


Cons:

- Every level, you start fresh. You bring a little bit from previous missions, and you get more increasing difficulties.

- Every map starts becoming the same thing - over and over again. Start small, build up without becoming too noticed by the cops. Bribe them, and keep a low profile. They become terribly easy and uncreative after long, especially when you start learning what to do.

- The learning curve isn't great enough to keep a steady interest. It is easy to learn, and easy to master. Again, once you find a good solid stratagy, every map is the same. There may be one curve ball here and there - but nothing to special.

- The game only becomes more "difficult" because people rat you out (to be expected) and because the prohibition is coming to an end, cutting into your profits (again, to be expected). No real sense of accomplishment, more a sense of "Well, I survived and made a profit early on..."

- The story can be exceptionally predictable. No real surprises, and very few curveballs to keep you on your toes. Easy to go on autopilot.

- After finding a winning stratagy, the game turns into "Send henchmen somewhere, afk for a few minutes, come back and check on profits and missions completed."

- Rival AI is.... lacking. Seriously, there is no challenge from them. They litterally let you walk all over them and don't try to stop you. You can raid their places too easily, but nothing from them to retaliate. It's like they don't care at all they are losing to you.

- Severe lack of a hard mode at all... At least, I didn't notice any difference on the difficulty settings.

Again - It is a good game, don't get me wrong. but not really a $30-40 game.... Maybe a cool $8 game on holiday/summer sale, when you want to see what the prohibition is like.

I was hesitant when I bought this game because of the mixed review it has but once I played it I instantly loved it. The story line is rich and deep and I particularly like the economy system. Buying and Selling Beer, Liquor, Firearms, and even laundering money/giving a loan. I recommend this game.

A great game, for those who like city/building, and xcom tactic like combat areas. Not a fan of mob stuff, but liked this game very much, the cast was very enjoyable, and their development was great. story/dlc stories are excellent as well.

Omerta - City of Gangsters is a strategic simulation that puts you in the shoes of a small-time mafia don running a very small outfit during the height of Prohibition. The game is reminiscent of Gangsters 2 and Gangland, utilizing similar economic and battle mechanics, but lacking some of the depth and scope of the older games.

The gameplay is divided amongst "levels," neighborhoods of a city in which a specific mission must be accomplished to continue to the next. Most of the missions are relatively straightforward and do not require a great deal of strategy to accomplish. The battle mechanics are also somewhat clunky and unrealistic, and is by far the most challenging aspect of the game due to the limitations. When the mission is completed, the level ends abruptly without an option to continue building your empire in that neighborhood.

Sandbox mode offers more of a challenge, allowing you to set the police coverage to high and offering rival gangs that can quickly move in on your territory, take over your businesses, and attack your "hideout." The neighborhoods are rather small, however, and really restrict the scope this game could have.

Despite the problems, however, this is the best organized crime strategy game that has hit the market since Gangland was released in 2004. It has been enjoyable for hours and I recommend purchasing it on sale.

Ratings: 8.3/10
Worth playing Turn-Based Strategy Simulation game. Omerta - City of Gangsters's gameplay is somewhat unique and takes time to sum up and complete variety of missions and side-missions. The combat system is accurate enough, fighting against one another showing whose turn will be next and what you'll do and when it's your next move. I'm enjoying the game right now since I like simulation games like these. I got it on sale, not for full price, but I still appreciate it. Looking forward for upcoming updates.

brillant game if you can pick it up cheap, relaxing game very chilled out, but it is not xcom no where near as stressy

As some of the other reviews have mentioned, the game play is fairly repetitive. You go to a different part of Atlantic City, set up your business, raise capital, smuggle boose and guns, expand your operation with different legal and illegal activities, then eventually you have to take someone on in a gun fight. Raise more money to pay off a bigger boss, rinse and repeat. Thats all good and the game setting itself will probably have me come back for more because of its general feel.

The reason I am not recommending this game is the random factor of gun fights. The fact that a guy with a shotgun misses from point blank range on a guy that just punched him is ridiculos, and will drive you mad. The fact that a punch does more damage than a gun shot wound, even tho I understand trying to keep the game balanced in a way, is ridiculos. I've played some gun fights twice in a row, you can use the exact same positioning and shots, and end up with one extra guy alive or double your HP, by doing nothing different. More luck than skill.

A relatively fun game to play, altrough it is not a game like the other games, you see your character from the top, and you have to click it around, enter shooting scenes and all that.

Recommended!

Nice theming, shallow gameplay. Every mission makes you start all over again, leading to repetitive and drawn-out gameplay. The combat sequences are nice, and can get pretty tense. Tactical play and thinking ahead is encouraged. Could not finish the game after starting the umpteenth mission and having to build everything up yet again. Overall impression is that the game feels like it was made five years ago. Recommended if you're watching Boardwalk Empire and jonesin' for a fix. Definitely a '6' or a '7' if you're into the period.
