What it is
Omerta – City of Gangsters is a simulation game with tactical turn-based combat, developed by Haemimont Games and released in 2013. Set in 1920s Atlantic City, it puts the player in the role of an immigrant building a criminal operation from small jobs. Recruit a gang, take territory from rival gangsters, gather intelligence and work toward establishing a crime syndicate that rules the city. Strategic play uses a city overview for planning and expansion, while battles use cover and stealth. The game lists 15 player-controlled characters with distinct backgrounds and personalities, plus character development and equipment management. Its campaign includes 20 maps representing city districts and is described as offering more than 15 hours in a single play-through.
