This game has bugs, some of which are GAMEBREAKING, so i would steer clear of this game unless the devs put in some major work clearing these away. Even after this is done, I wouldn't invest in this product. It is lacking a whole lot of interesting features and mechanics that would work so well in a game about the Mafia. The fact that it is turn based, as opposed to real time also rubs me the wrong way, and I am not even sure why, maybe just nitpicking, as there is no reason that turn based shouldn't work for this game.There is just the basic attack, defend or ceasefire when it comes to district wars. Ther is no diplomacy with the other families, no real diplomacy with the law. There are a lot of flaws, though that is not uncommon for PC games, and to be honest a lot of the flaws here are not terrible. The few game-breaking bugs don't seem like they are that difficult to fix, and last I saw on the forum, they had aknowledged one of the bugs to fix, so they may be fixed inside a week either way. TLDR: If this game is on sale for less than $12 or so, I would say it wouldnt the worst thing in the world to buy, but not for $20, there are dozens of better games for that price.. Think of Gangsters or gangsters 2 ! If you are a fan of Mafia games, then this one is for you ! It is a strategy game. You play a Boss of 5 families. You choose which family you want ! it's a fun little game , to me it is a gem ! I am playing it right now ! I want to thank the developers for making it. There is a lack of Mafia games since Gangsters 2 and Mob Rule. There is Omerta which I also adore too. If you like this genre you wont be disappointed. To me the 20 bucks is worth it . To other players it may be disappointing. It is a game like from 1997. I adore the game its a small gem. Its realistic. You can promote associates into soldiers. You can promote soldiers into capos. Its fun ! Its a little gem and I would recommend it to gangsters and Gangsters 2 fans. Yes those games probably had more capital to make it a more bigger game but think of the potential. Thanks for making the game , hope you make a part 2 with many more options . Think of it. Thanks! It's time for me to take over the city Al Capone style.. I like it. I played the Gangsters (hothouse creation) game from back in the day and I loved it. This isn't gangster and we will never see another game like that ever. I accepted that years ago, we need to stop comparing every mob game to gangsters.This is one is entertaining it does need some work around smoothing out some issues but even as is I love to play it.There is a lot of detail that goes into how you decide your family path for example when someone shows up on your turf do you sell of the investment and maybe bribe someone later to place them in jail or push them around, do you send in your strongest muscle to take them out or if you have enough points eliminate them with an assassination.When you get enough power for a new Capo, who do you select to promote, what values do you need? When you do promote someone were is the best place to insert the Capo an existing neighbourhood so you can move a more powerful Capo and his soldiers to conquer a different neighbourhood or do you move him on his own and have him earn his rank.When looking in the neighbourhood what is the other families doing? Are you outnumbered and outgunned, do you need to bribe for help or sell investments and move out. When you decided to hit them do you know were it will cost them the most and how is the best soldier to send?You should also keep an eye on the politics see how the mayor and police chief influence your business based on there policies. Also do you think you will win the commission vote and if you do what do you select as your policy, lower heat, cease fire, increase profit or others. As per above there are a lot of choice you can make that plays an important role in how you protect your family and how you make them rich. You can just rush through but really stop look at the detail and enjoy the game. Overall its unique and a lot of fun. It just needs some random events and believe the developers are working on it.As it gets patched I will update my review.. Like what the other reviewers said, this brings back memory of Gangster 1 and 2. Its a pretty niche game, however as this is pretty much a watered down version of gangster 1 and 2, the learning curve is nottttt that hard. Just keep trying a few games and you will get use to the mechanics. Anyhoo rate this 7\/10. Just need more game mechanics to make it more of a challenging grand strategy, because once you own an entire borough you literally can just steam roll all the other boroughs into submission lol and also assasinating all the other 4 dons just for \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 and giggles is fun lol.. For now the game is not worth the money in my opinion.The mid to late game is very shallow, and it pretty much become a click game (to maximize the profits with espansions) and steamroll the other families when you got new caporegime\/soldiers.Having said that, I see that the devs are still working on it (in my opinion is more an early access game than a finish product). I could change my review if some (many) improvement are done in the RPG aspect of the game (politics, diplomacy with the other families, diplomacy and betrayal inside own family) and late game objective (it's very easy, maybe way to easy, to build a Casino and late game facilities).. hate to give this a negative review but there is simply too much going on here thats problematic.First things first no, this isnt gangsters 1 or 2 and to be honest thats not what I epxected it to be althought i did expect a different game which to be fair is probably my own fault.The game loop is as follows, pick a family which than gives you randomly assigned capos and their underlings with random bonuses - yes the families do have set bonuses as such but from what ive seen and read most ppl seem to agree that the big affects are had by the guys that get rolled at random.Than randomly put these guys into various neighborhoods to try and figure out what rackets will work there.Now that in itself isnt necessarily bad but it starts a trend - everything is random. Untill you have setup in a burrow and in fact a specific neighborhood there is no way to scope out what will work in that specific place ie what people you should have wokring what type of rackets there. (if there is I havent been able to find out about it\/ read\/ utube etc.)Now to clarify reading the are info will help you narrow it down some e.g. a rich neighborhood is only interessted in the high end rackets casinos rather than gambling dens etc. BUT it wont tell you if this NH e.g. dislikes gambling untill after you tried to gamble there. So you could have potentially tanked 120k on a casiono jsut to find out people there hate gaminbling.And than u rinse and repeat in different neighbourhoods untill you start to make enough money to get engaged with deeper mechanics like the politics of the entire city\/ the commission itself.Add to that random events that take place that seem to tip the board over time and time again and it feels like your actions are more or less unnecessary, it being a game as static as literaly looking at a map and nothing else I can understand why the devs would add that into the game to mix it up but it results in feeling as if your actions in itself have little to no influence on the actual game.....which at least in my opinion defeats the purpose of playing.As I mentioned previously I had read of people claming this to be in the vein of the old Gangster games and I instantly felt that wasnt the case on booting it up (to be fair devs never said it was!). So to make sure I didnt mis remember the game I bought Gangster 1 on gog and had a few rounds and while there are some elements beyond just the era that are similar between the two games gangster 1 is a completely differnt monster. While fiddly and needing disturbing amount of micromangment and in terms of combat player controll G1 actually makes you think you made a difference. Sure gearing you guys to the max will give them an edge but telling them to focus on a sepcific guy will win the fight with less loses on your side etc etc.All this rambling aside I still think there is somethign here with The Commission I am jsut right now trying to figure out if its worth hanging onto or refunding it. Can I accept the fact that the game will essentially be a random number generator and I have some minute ways to improve my position between these rolls, but never substantial enough to really impact the random events as they happen to me?And sure no tutorial is harsh and I can see how people would jsut instantly refund since they can tell that it will be hours to actually figure out what this game is about - ie. there is a real chance you wont be allowed to refund the game by the time you actually understand it - even a little bit. Ive kept my timer down by reading alot about the compounding mechanics watcing clips and playing on my brothers account....Food for thought. Not a very fun game at all. Most just a bunch of guess work of what does what, what Rackect fall into what catagories, and what types of hood's give what sorts of bluff\/de-bluffs. And the AI always seems to be rebuild and grow faster then you can, and is able to do things that you can't. Over all the game feels broken and unfun, and isn't worth the 20 bucks it cost.. This game isn't worth the price tag by far.No tutorial at all, good luck with that. No research, no henchmens recruiting or equipping, nothing to build, the lack of a tutorial makes everything really nebulous.Even on easy the AI is able to make a lot of money and get 2 or 3 territories in less than 24 turns while you struggle to understand what you're supposed to do or how to create a racket.Dunno what I'm supposed to do and what the game really has to offer, but we're really far from any kind of mafia game.. If you're old enough to have played gangsters organised crime then you'll definitely enjoy this. It can seem a bit confusing at first and hard to get into but stick with it and you'll be hooked for hours. Some more features and more depth to the commission and maybe some customisation of gang names etc would be great but there's enough here to keep you busy once you get the hang of it. The new tutorial is a big help. Really get to know your gangsters, my capo has just turned informer and had my boss arrested, saved by well placed bribery. Highly recommended game
