Paradox Entertainment has unveiled their new strategy game at E3 2019 this week, which will be launching on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC systems. The game, titled “Empire of Sin,” takes players back to the prohibition era of 1920s Chicago. Watch the E3 2019 trailer below to learn more about what you can expect from the Empire of Sin game.
Gameplay and Features
Within Empire of Sin, players will be tasked with building an empire of seedy businesses such as speakeasies, casinos, and brothels. The goal is to expand your criminal empire by taking over territories held by your rivals. The game offers a rich, character-driven narrative that immerses players in the glitz and glamor of the roaring 20s, juxtaposed with the gritty underbelly of organized crime.
Players will need to employ a mix of strategy, diplomacy, and brute force to succeed. You can recruit a variety of characters, each with unique abilities and backgrounds, to help you in your quest for dominance. The game also features turn-based combat, where strategic positioning and tactical decisions can make the difference between victory and defeat.
Historical Context and Inspiration
“Empire of Sin” draws heavily from the historical context of the 1920s, a period marked by the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. This era saw the rise of organized crime as criminal enterprises sought to capitalize on the illegal demand for alcohol. Figures like Al Capone became infamous, and the game captures this atmosphere of lawlessness and opportunity.
The developers at Romero Games and Paradox Interactive have gone to great lengths to ensure historical accuracy, from the architecture of the buildings to the fashion of the characters. This attention to detail helps to create an immersive experience that transports players back in time.
The game also explores the social dynamics of the era, including the roles of women and minorities in the criminal underworld. This adds another layer of depth to the narrative, making it not just a game about crime, but also a commentary on the social issues of the time.
“Empire of Sin, the strategy game from Romero Games and Paradox Interactive, puts you at the heart of the ruthless criminal underworld of 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago. It’s up to you to hustle, charm, and intimidate your way to the top of the pile and do whatever it takes to stay there. This character-driven, noir-inspired game puts players smack dab in the glitz and glamor of the roaring 20s, all while working behind the scenes in the gritty underbelly of organized crime.”
The game also features a dynamic world that reacts to your decisions. Alliances can be formed and broken, and your actions will have consequences that ripple through the game world. This adds a layer of replayability, as different strategies and choices can lead to different outcomes.
In summary, “Empire of Sin” offers a unique blend of strategy, narrative, and historical context. Whether you’re a fan of strategy games, history, or just looking for a new gaming experience, “Empire of Sin” promises to deliver a compelling and immersive experience.
