60 of 91 · most liked firstHonestly I played now for 3 hours straight and I think the game is okay... Worth the price, no. Let me explain why: 1. The mechanics of how the heat works is not the best, even if you don't use violence the heat goes up way to fast and laying low in reality doesn't help much. 2. After all the objectives are done in a mission as simple as extortion you can't leave if the cops don't show because you are going to get an objective to pick evidence only UNTIL the cops show up so you can be already…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I mean. It's interesting. I had this on my list for a while, but sadly it just really doesn't jive with me I guess. It was fun for the short time I played, but ... nothing near 30$ for in my own personal opinion? I really wish steam had a -Maybe- or -Undecided- option, cause that's really where I lie. Either way, final verdict is to pick it up when it's around 10$.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR; an okey xcom-like game where you lead a small gang in 1960's UK, that falls short in gameplay Pros: + Pretty original, not much games like these out (combining crime mechanics + empire building + combat) + The combat is OK + Managing your own small-crime imperium seems like a really cool idea! + The style game is going for is fun, not too serious and not too jokey. Think about a dark comedy, with brawling but not too much violence Cons: - The gameplay loop seems to get a bit tedious and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Company of Crime has a couple of really fun elements that you've not seen in any other games. These things give it something fresh and novel that sets it apart from games such as Omerta or Gangsters: Organised Crime that follow a similar theme. The focus on melee combat is quite fun, especially when your crew levels up and gets their diverse skills. The first time you see a character bash someone's head onto a surface, or kick someone in the nuts, you go "Oooohhh. ouch! *shudder*". These moves…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played 20+ hours, just to give it a fair chance of review: If you are 50/50 on whether to purchase this, you might want to read this. What hooked me to buy this game was - Nice Art Style / Concept / Music - I love XCOM-like turn based game - Catharsis of being able beat up random people (GTA-like feeling) However the reality was - No game-play balance. Level progression and difficulty is non-existent. (basically nothing in the game ties in together) - Extremely repetitive. I really gave…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is exceedingly dull. Like, incredibly dull. Typical gameplay loop: "Case" an area, if it doesn't auto succeed you go in and beat up some guys/shoot some guys. That's pretty much it. Oh there's a strategy layer, but it boils down to "make money so you dont go negative" or buy stuff from the black market. Once you've played the first 2 or 3 missions you understand the entirety of the game. It lacks all depth. It has some good things going for it, like a unique visual style, decent…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38553778-All-about-Strategy-Games/] Follow my Curator Page for more Strategy Games! Company of Crime is a turn-based strategy game. This is very true. Aside from that, it wants to be so much more but doesn't deliver to be considered a good game. The setting is very interesting and very much unused in the genre. The problem is: There is so much potential and they can't use it. The story isn't really good. Its narrative could be so much more if…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The latest patches have improved so many aspects of the game that many of the reviews here touch upon. The setting and atmosphere in this game is spot on. I am almost done with the criminal campaign and I have definitely enjoyed the game. The focus on melee combat can seem a bit dull at first, but the idea kind of grows on you after a while and it gets more diverse when leveling up the different characters and facing new enemies. There will be different locations, surprise events and story…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sometimes at the end of the day, when you need to talk about a game you'd recommend to someone, there are situations where you won't say it's a "good" game, or that it's a particular pleasure to play, but you recommend the game because, for all its flaws and shortcomings, it has a spark. It has something that among the rest, makes it unique and enjoyable. Such is the case for Company of Crime. A game set in London of the 60s, with a focus of gang wars and a strong influence from modern X-COMs,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are currently around a million hex-based tactics games created by independent studios. Fortunately, Company of Crime is the rare tactical game of distinction, proving that there are still new ideas in this crowded genre. In Company of Crime you play as a couple of British lowlives in the mid 60s. The music is groovy. The atmosphere is filthy. You send your gangsters out on missions across a map of London and watch the timer tick, while managing resources like money and respect. But then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played four hours so far and enjoyed them. The graphics are great, music is cool and I love the theme and idea of the game. I've only unlocked the second area in the game so far and therefore have not progressed a huge amount. The game works fine as far as I can tell although there are is an annoying feature/bug/thing that needs to be altered or removed in my opinion. For example, I perfectly completed a mission and all my units were going towards the exit zone with no more objectives to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At firts glance it looks interesting, but it leaves me wondering if the game has a slow start.. where is the fun in doing the same stupid beat them up missions on repeat. No good story and no interesting cut screens to get me hooked. This is seemingly an organized crime managing game, but an hour in this is just a stupid repeat feast of random leveled tactical turnbased beat them ups. Game is shallow, uninteresting and dull. Don't think this is annything like Omerta or other games in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →‘Ere, me old china, can I get a quick word in your shell-like? There’s this new game in town: Company of Crime. I’ve given it a bit of a butcher’s, so let’s get out yer drum and head dahn the cruiser, and I’ll fill you in. Right, that’s enough of that. I was going to write this entire thing in both dialect and Cockney rhyming slang, but looking out of the corners of my minces, I can already see the copy editors sharpening their knives. Company of Crime has given me enough virtual brutality…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall good game mechanics and i love the idea...but it already became boring after the 5th more or less identical battle. After 2 hours gameplay i had the impression that i just did the same battle over and over again with little variations and for some reason, i dont expect much more variations.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Criminals playthrough... and all I can say is... this game is annoying. A major bug is currently in the game as of release where arrested crew members disappear after they are released from jail. They are not added back to your crew. EDIT: ^ This has been pointed out as intended. See @platypus developer response. Also, they way the police are implemented as the criminals is frustrating. There is no end to police once they start rushing your encounter and more spawn practically every other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont buy this game. It has no depth, it has no variablility. It has poor graphics, poor writing, poor... well basically everything. I've played the same map on 4 different missions, with the same character models, and same positioning, and, well same everything. I'm pretty sure there are only 4 maps total for the entire game. There no uniqueness to the characters you choose. No uniqueness to your HQ. There's nothing that made this game stand out. I wish I had just stopped at 2 hours and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i was drinking beer when I bought it. bad mistake.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Turn based tactical game - Broken Game, full of bugs and placeholder content - nothing to do between missions "Game had a fun theme, but with all its fault its not worth the time with a genre full of better games."
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game had a ton of potential but seems to have been abandoned by the devs and left to be a buggy mess. The Police campaign especially has way too many times where it gets glitched out randomly and forces you to start the whole campaign from the beginning, unless you happened to make multiple saves that you could return to and hope that you don't get locked out from being able to get further in the story. I hope this game is gonna get some updates and bug fixes, but until then I cannot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is not bad, but it's always the same thing, over and over. 5 hours later, 1 area controlled, 10 more to go! And you still have to go back to previously conquered areas because other gangs will try to take back places from you. It feels like you're never making a step ahead and have to fight on the same maps every time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fights feel really repetitive and almost the exact same. Skills don't feel like they have an impact except for Kick away, Throw into wall, Throw over table, and Headbutt Currently there is no option to speed up or skip the combat animations or insults. There isn't enough nteraction with the cops or the criminals as either side I feel. and the plot being forced upon us is really lame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After about three hours you've seen everything the game has to offer. Not a lot of content, gets super repetitive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My final review GAMEPLAY: The gameplay is fun for a TBS game, I mean there can't be much in a variety of TBS games, they all feel the same after awhile. You take over businesses, rinse and repeat pretty much. It can get stale quickly. GAME LENGTH: 20-25 hours at least on criminal campaign. PRICE / QUALITY: $30 is a little steep, I'd say $20 would be a more fairer price. DIFFICULTY: Default difficulty settings (easy, normal, hard). Early on you gain too much heat and not enough power to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having mixing feelings about this game. It has some nice concepts, but the gameplay becomes boring really fast. Towards the end of the Police campaign, I was relieved to see the last two story missions happened back to back, so I did not have to raid another place ever again. Not recommending the game due to the repetitive aspect of the game. The common TBT game elements: 2 action points per character can be used for movement or skill. Character position and direction also matter in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For those who like turn-based strategy games, the game is appealing BUT, it has more negative aspects than positive. In general terms, the first flaw (but which can even be ignored) is the fact that the thieves' campaign is too long and repetitive. Long games are interesting, when there is content that justifies it (not the case). But the game's biggest problem is the police campaign, which is all buggy. I got to the point where I couldn't play anymore: whenever I try to do any mission, my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely short - no mission variety - repetitive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played it on release. It was terrible, not fun and poorly optimized. I've waited several months to see if anything was fixed and it doesnt look like there have been any significant updates.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely not to recommend. Idea of the Game is amazing, but the Game play is horrible. Everything in the Game feels a kind of random.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's refreshing to play as the bad guys in a strategy game and the atmosphere of 60's London is great. It's fun to see your crime empire grow and your lvl1 crooks becoming bad-ass mobster bosses, that's how Mafia works.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really, really wanted to like this game, but it has some major balance and interface issues. I like the style, music, vibe, and overall idea - and I was hoping for something that would hold me over until a certain "Sin" based game comes out. However, this game has a couple problems. Firstly, in regards to interface, it's very easy to accidentally take the wrong action in combat because the interface tries to "autosuggest" where your character should be moving - often resulting in a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Three bugs in the tutorial: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1229420/discussions/1/3282569322822275730/ I love the concept and arts style, but it's not bearable. If bugs are fixed, I'll try later.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pick this game up on sale, 66%off just few month after release; I guess there is probably a reason... or few. 1) UI: Can't find inventory manual; no idea what weapons and items my gang have, no idea who has what until mission crew selection (even that, you can only see them one by one, instead of a list of crew and their equipment, stats, etc.) 2) AI&Strategy: For a strategy game, there is no strategy to your play; no need to pick which door to bust through, just go together, rush toward the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should appeal to fans of the history of London-based criminal gangs in the Sixties, and act as a voyage of violent discovery for those who aren't. Regardless, it's the creation of a Finnish design studio and published by a Russian company and as such proves to be immense fun and both a parody and a mirror of those times. If you are uncertain as to the veracity of this game, I suggest you watch the film "Legend" with Tom Hardy playing BOTH Kray twins. If that doesn't put you in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have almost 20 hours in this game and I am really enjoying it overall I prefer the police story as I have the most hours in that but I was enjoying the Criminal side I just find the dealing with police raids quite hard but overall this game is really fun and worth the buy if you like tactic games like xcom but with the mix of 1960s London and Sweeney vibes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not great. Super repetitive missions. Some of the levels are super bottlenecked, ran into one where I had to knockout 19 cops to get to the exit, ended up jumping me from heat level 1 to heat level 5, shortly followed by emergency heat level. Bribing journalists can either give you influence or reduce heat but you can't choose which, would have been nice to choose what you're bribing the guy to do. The auto-resolve is also weird. It just seems to pop up sometimes instead of letting you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really really wanted to like this game, sadly the controls of the game were awkward and unintuitive most of the time, a weird system requiring characters to "rest" after doing a mission making progressing painfully slow, combat encounters quickly devolved into moshpits and questionable design decisions in combat make this promising game lackluster at best and just not very fun at worst, not the worst game on the market but in it's current state and it's price tag it simply isn't worth it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I dig the basic concept and it looks to be fairly good for an XCOM-like, the UI and the controls are a complete mess, the camera controls are a pain in the bum, visual indicators get cluttered into oblivion, and in my 90 minutes or so I managed more misclicks than I could be bothered to count. Sadly refunded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very linear and repetitive, no strategic depth at all. This is a game with a ton of potential, but sadly it still feels incredibly raw in its current state.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very linear and repetitive, no strategic depth at all. Interesting narrative settings though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What begins as a snappy turn based beat-em-up turns into a downright silly mess of bugs and glitches. You play as a group of gangsters (Either freelancers or cops) and perform a series of annoyingly rigid missions where you run in, beat the ever loving tar out of everybody, then run away. The Freelancer campaign is just... boring. You generate your own gang comprised of four classes and work your way from right to left through the map of london. Every single action builds heat, which leads…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short version: the game is way too repetitive, shallow and overall boring. Long version: Setting/immersion. I will not lie, you don’t normally see games set in 1960 London. However, I am pretty sure that 95% of all of the violent crimes in that time period were NOT committed by women and racial minorities. The fact that there are like 2 voice actors per gender makes this game even less believable and more repetitive. The story isn’t interesting, it is extremely generic and the ending…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyed every minuet of game play. It is well worth the price. Add it to your collection you won't be sorry.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is tenuous recommendation at best. If you can get the game for a few bucks it's worth it. A turn based mostly melee based game is rare in this genre and the different mechanics but otherwise mirrored twist between cops and criminals is a nice twist. The game has plenty of stability issues (I can't progress a due to a fatal error save issue) and bugs like others pointed out but otherwise is a bit of a rough diamond at a cheap price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dissapoint to this game. I like the concept, but the execution really really dissapoint me. There are no uniqueness on every job and every character, just 3 or 4 job with randomize visual. Still has bug on every planning mode. I get bored easily playing it just for 3 hours. If i can refund it, i will but my playtime has pass the policy. For me to play gangster strategy game maybe i can share you 2 game ( for me it's good) Omerta and Empire Of Sin. Even these 2 still has minus, i'd say it much…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Initially looked like a fun XCOM style game, however the controls are awfully difficult to get to place on the correct tile direction, which becomes extremely important for avoid flanking and zone of control. Additionally in my 3 hour play, there was no way to remove heat, so the police just kept arresting my crew in the utterly pointless raid missions, which has no chance of success so you are just wasting time looking at 2 of your crew getting pummeled and arrested. I now have basically no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible UI and gameplay, No flow and just BS AI
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After ~2hrs of testing out the beginning parts of the game i really enjoy it so far! +Cool board game'ish map mechanics +Theme of the game (sooo many al capone US mafia games out there) +Voice acting +Knocking people out! Enjoyed the combat -UI was bit confusing at times but after some getting used to it was fine.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually I don't go for these types of games, but this time I decided to give it a chance. I have a few hours on it now, and have enjoyed all of them. I like the theme and athmosphere (as well as the music) of the game. If something the game mechanics need small polishing, but I still like this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: Cost me a dollar and I want it back. What a "♥♥♥♥♥" game. Bad overall mechanics (it's no "Xcom of crime"), ultra repetitive tasks from the get-go, zero (!!!) in-game logic, bugs (heads with no body etc'...), poor story... the only nice thing is the graphic style, but that's also not polished enough. Don't waste your time.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Expanding your criminal territory in London is a lot of fun. Hand-to-hand combat - nice change of pace for a while, later you can also use some firepower if you so desire, but watch your heat meter! Gotta try police campaign after first one, as well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, different. Good style and music. Sadly gameplay in longer gameplay gets boring and difficulty rises suddenly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reminds me of the old gangsters games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's definitely not great. It's repetitive, it's clearly underdeveloped (for example, all your recruits of the same class have exactly the same stats). But I still give it thumbs up for novel gameplay concepts. 1) Usually, you just kill your enemies. Here, you can do that, it's quicker and easier than beating them up. But when someone ends up in a morgue, it draws a lot more attention from the police than when some shmuck gets his teeth kicked in. So you have to keep that balance and take out…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actually game has interesting styles mixture like crime empire building and xcom-like combat. But somehow things are just don't work for me. Heat mechanics are frustrating, combat is somehow unpredictable, story not engaging. Choosing between "yes" and "no" I would pick "meh" option.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*the last update has sorted out the heat issue within the game much happier now thanks :) Loved this game the setting and characters are great. few reviews on slow start and that is true but it is just trying to let you get a grip of the basic mechanics, HEAT is a game killer for me have opened the 3rd and 4th regions now but cannot lower heat enough to even do any missions. The police raids all add to heat and there is no real way of lowering it without paying 100 to a journalist who may not…
