Do you still remember the second coming of our savior Chuck Norris to the Czech Republic in the domestic cooperative shooter Crime Boss: Rockay City, released in the first half of last year? It wasn’t just us who tore it apart in reviews and opinions.; but also the community of players who were still eagerly awaiting Payday 3. But it was already out and it was no better. And even a year after the release, the developers couldn’t come and do anything with it properly. Unlike InGame Studios from Brno, which, according to many, fixed Crime Boss.
First of all, it should be noted that no matter how much time is spent on improving a game that has already been released, some things just don’t change or improve. And I can easily point to, for example, the core gameplay loop, which relies on roguelikes, or the main campaign’s story, which, frankly, is as stupid today as it was then.
So if you’re not primarily interested in the gameplay itself, I’m afraid that no matter how much work the developers put into it, Crime Boss: Rockay City simply won’t be for you. But if you liked the basics, there is hope!
Let’s just recap what we’re talking about. As Travis Baker, you’re trying to dominate Rocky City. It’s under the control of several gangs that we must gradually eliminate. At the same time, you’ll have to keep an eye on Sheriff Norris, who’s hot on our heels every day. Crime Boss, unlike its competitor Payday, In its single-player campaign, it is primarily a roguelike game divided into days.. Depending on the amount of money, the size of your army and the fatigue of individual team members, you will have to decide which missions to undertake. And in what quantities and with whom. For a financial sum, you can gradually add new members to your team, each of whom has their own set of privileges. While one of them is great for stealth and is not so noticeable in illegal activities, another will attract attention, but with the advantage that he will not just kneel during a possible shootout. And then there is Travis Baker himself, whom you can also take on a mission. Thanks to this, you will ultimately receive a large amount of money. But if he dies, the entire campaign is over.
However, choosing missions is not just about finding the ones that will give you the most potential money. Such missions are usually longer and more demanding.. And this with the risk that the initially quiet process will go awry. Either by accidentally ambushing another gang, or Sheriff Norris will learn of your actions and be ready for you. God willing, even with special robots that appeared in a recent game update.
As such, the game’s campaign is primarily based on thinking about who to go where with, what to save for the next few days, how many army members to devote to individual efforts to conquer new territories, and other such game mechanics. which adds a whole new level to the “heist gameplay” compared to Payday.
