You will be shown the basics of the stealth mechanics and shown how to intimidate NPCs into submitting. There is also a tutorial which would be the obvious place to start, but this also highlights the bugs the game has. If the risk is too great, then you have other options. Controlled territories, progress on story missions, stashed loot and more are all lost, however. When a run ends, your boss level carries over along with any unlocked perks you’ve got on your posse. There are revives available should you be downed, but you can also be killed instantly with a grenade or a pistol whip to the back of the head. But if Travis Baker is killed whilst out on a mission, that campaign run is over. The campaign is hefty as you attempt to control every location and defeat the other crime lords. Kim Basinger – of all people – is in charge of this, but you can choose when to buy and sell the items depending on their current mark up or mark down in the market.īut Crime Boss: Rockay City can also be a cruel mistress. Your missions where you steal various objects are collected in your stash until you need them. In all honesty, these turf wars could probably do without the following shootout which is more of the same simple gameplay, and instead of focus on playing out these turf wars as something different. These units are used to take-over areas of Rockay City the more units you assign to an area, the easier the subsequent deathmatch-esque mission is. As well as going out on missions yourself, you need to control an army with the help of the wise-cracking Touchdown, voiced by Michael Rooker. In your moments of downtime, Crime Boss: Rockay City shows glimpses of a very interesting crime simulator. It’s fun and nostalgic to hear them the first time, but they are repeated over and over again. The early 90’s aesthetic is perpetuated with songs such as Body Count’s in the House by Body Count, Freestyler by Bomfunk MC’s, Blaze of Glory by Jon Bon Jovi and Connected by Stereo MC’s. Speaking of Body Count, now would be a perfect time to mention the soundtrack accompanying all this excessive killing. In fact, I am surprised that there are any men left at all in Rockay City because your body count will be very high. Speed is key in Crime Boss the longer you take on a mission the tougher the spawning enemies become. Most missions end in gunfight firstly with whoever is guarding the initial loot, and then with the police that arrive soon after. But these invariably play out the same every time.Ĭrime Boss: Rockay City has a stealth mechanic that does work, but completing a run without being spotted is another thing entirely.
Attempts to variate these missions are there, such as swapping the location of the loot or throwing in some rival gang members to shoot. Be prepared to do a hell of a lot of these. You may need money, so you would choose missions where you need to rob a warehouse/armoured car/bank/jewellery store/rival gang.
