Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 17 → 1.43/day in the week after.
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.

Reviews
I’ve spent more than 20 hours with Empire of Sin, and it’s a game that mixes turn-based tactics, strategy, and role-playing in a very unique way. The setting in Prohibition-era Chicago is a refreshing change compared to most strategy games, and the atmosphere is done really well. Managing rackets, negotiating with rival gangs, and the tactical combat all add layers of depth that kept me engaged for quite a while. That said, the game does start to feel repetitive once you’ve got the basics down. After a while, the missions, negotiations, and combat sequences don’t evolve much, and it can feel like you’re going through the same motions again and again. The price point also feels a little steep considering the repetitiveness and some rough edges in execution. Overall, Empire of Sin is a stylish and ambitious game that I genuinely enjoyed, especially in the early hours. If you love the theme and don’t mind a bit of grind, you’ll likely get some good fun out of it. But if you’re looking for long-term depth and variety, it might leave you wanting more.

Do you love x-com? ✅ Do you love gangster/mafia theme? ✅ Then you might like Empire of Sin! It has slight management, but only slight you have to pay attention to you rackets and upgrade them from time to time. You can hire other gangsters if you want to or play lone wolf also do able. If you feel overwhelmed do not worry as tutorials are very well explained. I dunno what other people are crying about, i have not experienced any critical bugs which could prevent progressing in game. I only experienced one bug when i could not interact with npc but i fixed it by going into combat and out of it. However, there is one downside to Empire of Sin, characters use a lot of "F" word, usually i do not mind but constantly hearing it gets very annoying.
A good game to play when you wanna chill and play a game with some action in the game and also takes some planning and thinking but still a chill game unless you choose a harder level.
回合制战斗和幽浮2很像，只是很像而已，而且重复的战斗很无聊。有个自动战斗，但是不知道是怎么计算胜率的，感觉和人物的属性装备都不挂钩，自己操作不动脑都能无伤过，自动战斗胜率65%，失败人死一大半，这些手下还是npc，人死了就没了。经营方面不得不说是真差劲，操作界面也是乱乱的。这游戏这么久了bug还是有很多，很粗糙的感觉。
They still haven't even released the 2nd expansion
bug太多了
Игра стоит того чтобы в нее потратить время, жаль что в ней есть минусы. Плюсы: Хорошая оптимизация - это жирный плюс Разные боссы - тоже хороший плюс Уникальные способности Боссов Минусы: Баги - хотя они везде, в каждой игре. Где-то больше, где-то меньше. Боевка - плохая Повестка - очень портить атмосферу, когда ты играешь за белого босса, и у тебя африканская охранница. Здания - их очень мало, хотелось торговать не только выпивкой, иметь казино с борделем, а торговать чем-то еще: производство лекарств, оружия, продажа машин, продажа еды. Напарники - их очень мало, и хотелось бы иметь хотя обычных нпс. Но все минусы решаются через моды, так что игру можно доработать - тем самым она станет популярней. Поэтому играйте с модами. Залипнуть в игру, можно. Надеюсь разрабы будут обновлять игру? Исправлять или добавлять в нее новый контент, игра заслуживает того чтобы её хотя бы исправили. Оценка 5 из 10, без минусов была бы 9 из 10.
Woke DLC, be warned. Had I of known the DLC had male brothel workers I would have passed. It was not common enough to be 1920's lore, so why have it? You might as well gave the 1920's employees i-phones Woke ruins everything. Otherwise fun game.
Really just feels like shovelware. Nevermind selling a 2 DLC season pass, where the second DLC was never released, and even mentioning this to the devs gets you banned from their discord according to many people in the steam forums.
