I've been looking forward to this since I first heard about it, but with it releasing on December 1st, some of the first hands-on reviews are coming out, and now I cannot wait. My favorite genres are turn based strategy, grand strategy, RPG and management games, and this one rolls them all into one.
"Presuming it does all hold up, I think this game really is a bit special. Prohibition-era Chicago is such a phenomenal setting, and it’s one that I’m surprised hasn’t been used more over the years, given its mythic significance. A strategy game, a management game, a squad battler or an RPG taking place in Capone’s town would all have been great prospects. To get all four at once is a real feast."
