I haven't played Chicago 1930 in 2004, but I love good old games. Escpecially such isometric camera and graphics. What we have here? It is a tactical game with optional pause about gangsters and police. You can choose your team members, upgrade their stats. The interesting thing is that you have 2 opposite campaigns. At first you have to get whole city under your mafia control. Then you will play as FBI agent that...

As much as I love this game, I played it years ago. I can't recommend it, it is full of bugs, glitches, freezes. impossible to proceed to the next level, it goes back to a different part of the game instead, this happening in later missions of the mafia levels. selecting game characters and weapons is meaningless the game resets your choices. without a good patch, it is useless.

After Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood in 2002 Spellbound felt adventurous enough to scrap the idea that a RTT requires unique characters with different interactions that play off of each other and are contingent to completing a level. The strategy is still there (vision, stealth and ammo management) and it even has a cool-yet-not-needed-to-win-a-level type of "pick your own squad" RPG feature like the older Might...

It's a broken port. It may seem fine at first, but you will see the problems real soon. Like a guarantee character selection bug: you can't change your team unless one of them is dead; if you try to replace your current team with new guys and new equipment, when you start the mission you will see all the guys from the previous mission but now with empty inventories, and it can't be fixed. Most of the time it works...

Well, I feel very mixed about this release. For today standards the game can feel a bit archaic, but it's still very good and challenging. It's not as good as Commandos or Desperados , but overall I got some really good time with it. But I can't recommend the steam version. Numerous glitches and bugs bites your ass every few minutes. You are basically locked with your team members and can't change them , dynamic...

The game is in German with no option to switch to English or Brazilian Portuguese. This is disrespectful to the game's fans!

The concept is there and it's a good one. But it feels and plays like it's incomplete. Enemies don't react in a rational manner. Most of the time they are only staring at you. Like they are waiting for you to gun them down or knock them out. ' Overall the way they behave and react is all over the place. Sometimes it works. Most times it just doesn't. And I found no viable patch or fix. So yeah, I'm sad to say that...

In the state it's in, it should deserve a negative, but I've paid less than $1 for it so I'm gonna be more lenient. The premises are all good, there's the good vibe of an old-school game and the levels should keep you occupied and entertained, with actually some planning skills required to clear them. That said, the game IS buggy and crashes randomly. The way you operate your characters is also quite clunky, and...
