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.

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。
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.

General consensus is that this game was left behind in an unfinished state. I don't disagree. The gameplay loop is pretty okay, the modding capabilities are there, but as of late April 2026, the devs have released a 'farewell update' which isn't much of a farewell update, as it left behind quite a few bugs. Is the game good? Yes... but it's not 40, 50, or even 70 dollars of good as it is unfinished. That's not even the problematic part. As with basically every Paradox-published game, the DLC prices rival the game itself. Outside of discounts, you need to pay 12 dollars for the Deluxe Pack (the upgrade) which is essentially cosmetic. Alternatively, the Deluxe Edition (buying the game with the deluxe pack) is only ten dollars more. Assuming normal prices, you need to pay more to 'upgrade' your already-purchased game than you would have if you just got the Deluxe Edition. Even if it's for only two dollars more, it's still worth pointing out as this is either poorly thought out or predatory. This trend is similar for all the other DLC. The Premium Edition/Expansion Pass has three things going for it, judging from the reviews, as I did not decide to shill for it. 1. The Hunt for Aurora questline. Apparently, the questline is good, but concerningly people who got the Premium Edition initially had to wait five whole years. According to the reviews, this was just an obligation, not something they necessarily wanted to do. 2. A single Mob Boss (alternative character to play as). This one can call reinforcements mid-battle. I have to ask what the reasoning behind locking this ability behind an extra 20/24 dollars is, as all your opponents can apparently call for reinforcements, but you can't. 3. A fur coat, which might look nice, but it's specifically for one Mob Boss. If you do not play as Al Capone, you will get absolutely nothing out of this. This isn't even like a gun skin in another game, you will not see the fur coat in any meaningful way unless you zoom in and stare at Capone. Even if you play the guy all the time, you won't see him 70% of the time. A pretty good base game, but it's really hard for me to get past the seemingly intentional pricing tomfoolery and absolutely nonsense DLC. Get it on sale, if you get it at all. Right now it's ten bucks.
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.
Game was abandoned by the developers for years. Even the trailer on the store page is out of date. They recently made a free update so I tried to play again, and I guess the update broke half the character abilities. I guess they abandoned the game again because those update bugs make half the bosses and gangsters useless. RIP Frankie.
it's cool
Fiz a tradução do game, está no GUIA! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3570359362 É um bom jogo, não entendi a pontuação baixa na STEAM. Só não vale 140 reais. Esperem uma promoção.
this game is just cash grab i hate to say it. I played it on xbox and steam. I log on to update hoping you fixed some core missions in game that don't work. Now to find my save file gone. i get updating game can be hard but some bugs are so easy to fix. but as far as this game goes i don't believe you guys should charging what your charging. that fact some base game has been broken by updates and instead of fixing it you guys making more dlc. then still say play thought missions even though you can't. This game borders on false adds also you don't find issues in until your to far into the game for a refund. I love this game when 1st came out but now i would say stay away it not worth your money.
Das Spiel ist super hat sehr viel Atmosphäre durch Graphik, Musik und den Geschichten mit ihren Charakteren. Der Stadtrat und die Polizei sollten in Form von Gebäuden, welche sowohl begehbar als auch angreifbar sind implementiert werden. Eine Kriegsrecht bzw Armee-Intervention wäre auch interessant, wenn zu sorglos alles angegriffen wurde. Die Struktur der Gang aufzubauen ist gut. Es wäre noch besser, wenn die rekrutierbaren Charaktere mehr als 10 wären. Als einzelne Gruppe steuerbar sind 10 maximal genug. DLCs sind auch sehr gut. Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Spiel. Ein ähnliches Spiel mit Rockerthema wie Sons of Anarchy wäre auch sehr interessant.
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.
