An all-new gameplay trailer was recently released for the upcoming mafia management simulator, City of Gangsters. City of Gangsters takes place during the prohibition era, putting players in the role of a mob boss who works their way up in the world. Starting in 1920, players will get to see and experience the history of alcohol being outlawed in the United States. Everything from bars to saloons, breweries, and distilleries are all forcibly closed down, and in the midst of it all, a new age of smugglers, black markets, illegal manufacture, and organized crime all arrive and take their stake in the United States.
An Exploration Into a Era of Crime
City of Gangsters brings a historically authentic experience of how organized crime looked during Prohibition in the United States. Players can develop their operation with economy management and logistics, relationships and respect, and finally establish a legacy that will last generations. Threats and rivals may also arise, providing competition for players to compete against. The trailer showcases these features, including new and updated footage of playable maps, complex production chains, and relationship networks in action.
Heat from the law and attention from rival gangs will leave players with vital choices that will affect their syndicate. Decisions may end with a bribe or a ‘reminder of who’s boss’ in the form of a baseball bat or worse. With this expansive list of immersing and authentic features, City of Gangsters brings a lot to the management and tycoon genre. City of Gangster’s newly released gameplay trailer proves that this exploration into a slightly earlier yet shadier part of history can work within such an expansive business sim title.
A Soon to Come Release for The Historical Sim
City of Gangsters is set for a release on August 9th and aims to bring a new taste to the business management genre, putting players in the seat of a boss who develops an empire of alcohol trade from nothing to a large, booming industry. Alongside a complex and expansive management system, City of Gangsters’ setting and experience provide a lot of character to the sim for players to immerse themselves in.
