omerta-city-of-gangsters__Kalypso Media and Haemimont Games today released a playable demo for Omerta – City of Gangsters, a simulation game with tactical turn-based combat focusing on the activities of organized crime in Atlantic City in the 1920′s.
Taking the role of a fresh-from-the-boat immigrant, with dreams of the big life, the player will work his way up the criminal hierarchy of 1920’s Atlantic City. Starting with small jobs, his character recruits a gang and expands his empire by taking territory from other gangsters. Eventually he establishes his own crime syndicate. The player strategically manages his business and his minions in a real-time format, slowly but steadily increasing his influence over the city. The player sends his henchmen out on missions ranging from assassinating an informant, to raiding a warehouse, springing a friend from prison, robbing a bank, or attacking a rival gang’s hideout. Nobody is above the law in Atlantic City, so it always helps to have a little cash handy to bribe a policeman or pay off a politician.
The demo features two levels that mixes city conquest with tactical turn-based combat and heist planning.
