About these games

City of Gangsters

A management strategy game set in 1920, when Prohibition begins in the USA and a huge segment of the national economy becomes illegal overnight. You arrive in the city as a newcomer with big ambitions and work your way into a network of makeshift distilleries, secret loading docks and nighttime speakeasies. You run production chains and resource distribution, smuggle goods, bribe the police, chase down debtors and leverage favors through your connections. Your growing crew has to stay paid, armed and organized, because rivals and everyone around are always watching what you do.

Antihero

Antihero is a fast-paced digital board game of the strategy genre set in a gas-lit Victorian city. Players run a thieves guild, recruiting street urchins, hiring thugs and starting a gang. Stealing, bribing, blackmailing and assassinating rivals, they spend their gold on new recruits, thieving skills and deadly weapons. Alongside a story-driven campaign, the game offers AI skirmishes, online and offline PvP, play against friends asynchronously or in a live match, and custom ‘House Rules’.

Lawless West

A strategy game about cowboys in a Wild West setting. By personal order of the president, a group was formed to handle especially important and dangerous cases, with the job of putting laws into practice, serving as a prototype of the Marshals service. The player leads it through tasks across the United States, managing the team, developing its members’ skills, and applying strategy and tactics; each member has a specialization and the budget is limited. The goal is to restore order in the Lawless West, with over 50 levels, character leveling, direct player involvement in battles, and day and night levels with changing weather.

This Is the Police 2

In the sequel to the noir drama This Is the Police, the player runs the sheriff’s department of Sharpwood, a harsh border town full of smugglers, gangs and populists where no one is entirely innocent. Sheriff Lilly Reed must team up with fugitive criminal Jack Boyd and hope her risky plan holds. The game blends adventure, strategy, management and turn-based combat: you manage subordinates with their own weaknesses, investigate and interrogate suspects, and in dangerous operations plan around terrain and stealth. There are no hit points, so one bullet can kill a cop.

Through the Darkest of Times

A strategy and adventure set in Berlin in 1933, where you lead a small underground resistance group. You plan activities against the regime: dropping leaflets, painting messages on walls, sabotaging, gathering information and recruiting followers. All the while you must stay hidden, since being discovered endangers every member’s life. The game spans four chapters and features beautifully illustrated expressionistic scenes.

Tropico 3

In Tropico 3 the player becomes the dictator of a remote island during the Cold War. The locals can be charmed, persuaded, intimidated, oppressed or cheated to stay in power — whether as a kind leader or as a corrupt tyrant ruling with an iron fist. The island can be turned into a tourist paradise or an industrial power, with promises made to voters or political rivals slandered before elections. The game offers a tongue-in-cheek take on third world politics, corruption and totalitarian regimes, and includes a 15-mission campaign, a random map generator and an avatar under the player’s control.
