Empire of Sin may have been announced at one of Nintendo’s E3 presentations, but this is a PC, first and foremost.Įmpire of Sin is at its best when it’s just a shallow yet efficient XCOM clone. It is very overwhelming and it feels worse because of the Switch’s small screen and obvious lack of mouse and keyboard support. You need to pay attention to various aspects, such as hiring employees, henchmen, paying attention at your cash flow, waiting a damn eternity for you to afford any of the upgrades, and much, much more.

The business simulator bits are quite boring, to be honest. There is just too much to do and keep track of and that will quickly overwhelm you if you don’t pay attention to the tutorial, or even if you stop playing the game for a week or so and then decide to go back. In order to achieve that, you must go through the game’s extensive, gigantic tutorial. You begin as a nobody a small-time mobster with a few dollars and a gun in your pocket, and it’s up to you to create your bootlegging empire. How you doin’?Įmpire of Sin features tons of gameplay elements from different genres crammed into one package and that’s probably its biggest, well, sin.

This is when you’ll be greeted with what’s probably the best thing about Empire of Sin, even if unintentionally: its voice acting. Besides some real-life Prohibition-era faces like good ol’ Al Capone, you can also choose between an assortment of fictional characters to control. The first thing you need to do in Empire of Sin is to choose your aspiring mob boss.
