Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Puedes vender una puta escopeta adentro de un aguacate, como si los de aduana se pasaran por el culo que hay adentro, 10/10
Micromanagement hell. The tutorials are terrible and random game events occur to you that aren't explained in any reasonable detail, aren't predictable or negatable or can just outright kill your run without any fairness. You are the victim of far too much RNG that can bring the game to a screeching halt for an hour or two. You'd think that a tycoon game designed around setting up supply lines would have even a modicum of AI when it comes to transporting goods but I swear they are purposefully programmed to be as terrible as possible. All your dirty money gets crammed into the one building to launder it, despite there being 3 available to use, requiring you to micromanaging delivering the money elsewhere. Need two of an item to be delivered to a building to combine into a new item? Watch as all your trucks only deliver a single item there, while all the buildings within range producing the other max out their storage and cause your terror level to rise. Seriously, I watched for 5 minutes as my trucks kept cramming a single item item my workshops, maxing out that storage, the other one completely empty, while all the buildings around them maxed out their storage of the other required item and stopped producing. Either the devs were too stupid to fix these issues, they did not care, or they purposefully did it to artificially jack up the difficulty. Either way, it's pathetic and this game sucks.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Liked the supply and demand market, also liked how you can automate mostly everything as long as you build right, but in the game is quite easy to wipe out the rival gangs with 1 city (your starting one), would like the more gangs you kill the more power the remaining get, instead of capturing cities being the factor behind rival gang power.
Great Game! Just want more
anno just with drugs
I excited at first try of how hard it play through. But It's kinda boring when I played it long enough to "KNOW HOW". And has to play the same thing again and again to unlock new capos or badges.
Für mich persönlich kann ich das Spiel nicht empfehlen. Leider ist es mir zu schwer. Bzw. ab einem gewissen Punkt ist es einfach komplett unübersichtlich und nicht schaffbar, für mich, die Angst zu verringern und ähnliches. Das frustriert mich. Deswegen heute dann auch uninstall. Aussehen und Story scheint aber sehr gelungen zu sein.
basicamente me encanta, porque es muy dificil cogerle la dinámica y tus decisiones son mucho más importantes que en otros juegos. Tardé meses en cogerle la dinámica al juego
Im normal Modus nicht Spielbar, schlecht aus balanciert somit kein Spaß und keine Empfehlung
Great game Waiting for the 2nd hopefully :)
