How it feels

A tactical, isometric strategy game where you command either cops or mobsters in a tense turf war over prohibition-era Chicago.

What players say

Players call it a charming but deeply bugged port. The team-swapping mechanic is broken, the game crashes frequently, and a late-game script can block completion. Those who stick with it praise the Commandos-style gameplay and dual mafia/police campaigns.
