About This Game
How to Make That Extra “scharole”
There are a number of ways to make a living in the city of New Temperance when a 9 to 5 doesn’t quite cut your lifestyle.
- Smash and Grab
- Truck Hijacking
- Chop Shops
- Drug Dealing
- Stickups
- Home Invasions
Features Worth Taking A Pinch For…
- Character customization - As they say look the part, be the part. Customized Vinny with a new look whatever the occasion.
- In-depth and realistic story-driven scenarios - Get a real feel of what it’s like to be an up-and-coming criminal within an organized crime family. Every mission has been created to give you a unique experience and take away that repetitive feeling.
- Empire panel - Control and view information about your ever-growing empire through the Empire panel.
- Money laundering - The game features a system where you will also require “clean money” to purchase legitimate assets. In order to do this, you will have to gain contacts that will turn that dirty money into clean money.
Where to meet your “goomba” and where to take your “goomah”
- The city is made up of 8 different areas that all offer a unique experience, just don’t go into some of the neighborhoods after 9 PM as you might lose your kidney and your wallet.
- Ferrers Green - Also known as Little Italy is the most historically riddled neighborhood of them all. If you're a tourist we recommend you grab a bite to eat at Carmines Corner or Old Papas clay house.
- Harrowfield - This is an iconic situated area with cafes, nightclubs, and enough stores to shop until you drop!
- Terminal Island - This is one of the busiest areas of the city. It hosts a large terminal dock that can harbor up to 4 container ships at a single given time. It’s also home to a Crafty beer brewery.
- Becken Garden - Also known as China town or by the locals as Wok City. You will find some of the best cuisines and bathhouses Asia has to offer.
- Fordham - Irish - American neighborhood which traces back to the 1800s. You want a pint of the finest ale Fordham is the place to be.
- Whiteway beach - Literally stuck between the old and the new. In one direction you have a thriving casino in the other direction you have a once-prominent beachfront that now hosts
- Flaxley - If you plan to drive through, lock your doors. If you plan to walk through there, don’t. One of the roughest drug-riddled neighborhoods in the city where the police refuse to patrol due to the sociable residents.
- City limits - The picturesque scenery really does put the area into perspective filled with beautiful mountains and farmland, it really does create the perfect spot to hide a body.

This game was truly worth waiting for. In 2017 I discovered the devs showcasing their early ideas, and to see them starting to fully come together is truly amazing to see. The game is fun so far, even with a few issues, but the few I've encountered are not a hard fix.
The main thing I have against this game is the lack of voice over work. There characters could've been brought more to life as a result. Instead there is a lot of dead air. Plus at the start of the game the NPC driver was doin so really really slowly. We probably would've gotten to the destination faster if we walked lol. The driving was responsive for the most part tho the nav point changed at the drop of a hat. I didnt get to try out the combat unfortunately. I do see that a lot of effort has gone into this title tho. 15 bucks may seem a lot to ask but there looks to be a lot to offer on hand here. I just wish it had voice actin' to go with it's story.

I would love to try playing this game, but couldn't get past the drive from the airport, it's just so slow and tedious that every time I give it a try I turn it off after a minute. Unfortunately it's not skippable
This game has a load of potential but it still has a lot of work to do. The game has an involving story but if you leave the game for some reason it does not save and you have to start over, the game lacks sound and voiceovers which could make the game more entertaining, like i said the game is still pretty buggy, but i think the main problem is really just the lack of sound and maybe try to fix up the save menu.
Okay I originally posted a pretty harsh review since I felt like the $11 I paid for this on sale was still WAY too much for what this game is, but I didn't get into specifics really. More detailed games exist on Roblox for free, but that's not saying there isn't potential here. The developers seem very ambitious for what I've read is their first game. They've taken elements from every classic crime title and sprinkled them into a clunky atmosphere where you'll have a very difficult time navigating. I don't really see this being "playable" ANYTIME SOON, but I do commend them on their ambition. They're adding new elements but not fixing the ones that already exist it seems like. Give it time
