  I love the concept but the game seams unfinished or unpolished.. UI elements cover the world map and the building info; moving it is very slow and laggy, there is no filter or search box to help you find what you are looking for.. I like the aesthetic but sometimes is hard to understand a number or a word, the tutorial is very basic and does not cover everything you need to know to get started or to really understand what are the consequences of your actions; besides, inside the game has a link for a wiki page that is broken - its not about handholding, its about footholding. Bribing authorities does not seam to help, you loose territory out of the blue; there are many business types but you can only build a few of them on a empty lot, etc. I eagerly look forward for new updates that address the many little issues the game has because right now its great potential is being held back.

  It's exactly what it needs to be for the price. I didn't have much problems with a laggy maps or such, but the game could use QoL improvements to the UI. It's pretty basic & rudimentary, but funnily enough the straight-forward gameplay mechanics is exactly what games like Empire of Sin or City of Gangsters needed to have─ and totally whiffed on. Where in the case of Empire of Sin focused on turned-based combat. And City of Gangsters focused on logistics. This game gives a sandbox macro-view of running a crime syndicate. As said, it's bare─ but it works, as I've yet to encounter a bug. Which allows me to forgive the lack of tooltips & not having a bit more in depth gang customization; like naming it. Plus the pixelized font being hard to read at times, this game could use a couple pointers from Empire TV Tycoon's pixel art/interface. For the price, and being a pixel game─ it's exactly what it says to be, but not much more. It is worth kudos for threading the "gangster/mafia mangement" needle the other aforementioned games dropped the ball on. To the point where I wished the genre would use this as it's core gameplay mechanic, and then maybe the genre would sell. You just need to make an economy tycoon game with gangsters. Yet City of Gangsters & Empire of Sin niched their game so much, somehow this got the closest.

  I'm a big fan of Gangsters OG, so I bought this game. I do love what is done, but I miss just a little bit more depth for it to make me want to replay it. Hope the dev is going to add new gameplay features, looking forward to it! :)
