About the Game



Empire of Sin is a new strategy game brought to you by Romero Games and Paradox Interactive that puts you at the heart of the ruthless criminal underworld of 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago. Slip into the shoes of one of the fourteen real and historically inspired mob bosses such as Al Capone, Stephanie St. Clair, or Goldie Garneau and assemble a rag-tag gang, build and manage your criminal empire, and defend your turf from rival gangs. It’s up to you to hustle, charm, and intimidate your way to the top and do whatever it takes to stay there - break a leg!

Roleplay: Choose one of fourteen unique bosses based on fictional and real-world gangsters, then set out to build and manage your criminal empire in Chicago’s infamous Prohibition era.

Empire Management: Build your Empire of Sin and run Chicago’s underworld economy with business savvy, brutality or city-wide notoriety. Strategically manage your establishments such as speakeasies, supply chains, casinos and more.

Turn-Based Combat: Assemble your gang and slug it out in turn-based combat to defend and expand your territory – or send a message to opposing gangs.

In 2026, Empire of Sin stands as a completed project. While the developers have moved on, the game is in its most stable state following the massive "Last Update" (v1.11) in late 2025. Adding the Make It Count DLC is

I love this game, it had a lot of promise but it's long been abandoned. 2 updates in the last 5 years, it's filled with several common game breaking bugs that even with the final update release recently weren't

it's a fun game of monopoly crossed with some xcom style chess for combat scenarios. the reason for giving a negative review is the amount of game breaking bugs; want to start a war? CAN'T ATTACK BUILDINGS! want to

4/10 Good concept and can be quite fun trying to balance everything in realtime with the quirk of TBS for battles and taking over properties. However, like with almost all games involving Paradox it feels unpolished and
