Crime Boss: Rockay City

interesting...

Honestly a very solid heisting/stealing game, in some ways it is certainly better than Payday, notably with the gameplay, both loud and stealth, just feels more fun and flows better in my opinion, making the game easier to pick up and play in this aspect. The roguelike element is certainly unique and fun, but it is honestly a bit of a slog in terms of getting upgrades/improvements to make the game easier/more diverse, while Payday I feel handles this a lot better, which unfortunately makes it a lot more difficult to simply pick up and play the game. It also for some reason is unable to be played in co-op, and the developers seem very intent on not making that possible which is strange, for it being so unique. The lack of meaningful customization/variety through customization also docks it down a notch compared to Payday. I hope if this game ever gets a sequel that it adopts a weapon and skill system similar to Payday 2, as that would make it a lot more replayable and I'd absolutely have sunk more hours into it than I already have if this was already the case. Overall it's a very solid game, but lacks in areas by trying to stand out more from other games in the genre. While I do appreciate the developers trying something new with the roguelike system, I feel it holds back the overall game as of course, you wouldn't want an in depth weapon customization system, or diverse skill trees, when everything is concretely "limited" per run through the game anyways. I do hope if this game ever gets a sequel that they at least make a separate mode that focuses on being more like Payday in that aspect, because the game is fantastic otherwise, feels like what Payday 3 could've been gameplay wise. I will say as well unfortunately stealth is far less difficult compared to loud, there's almost no reason to ever intentionally go loud, especially since you're so underequipped and again, no build variety makes it far more punishing to try and intentionally do things loud. Stealth is fun, loud is very underwhelming and a slog, especially when you can die so easily.

Crime Boss: Rockay City is a surprisingly fun co‑op shooter, especially when played with friends — but it definitely comes with a few rough edges. The co‑op experience is where the game shines. Missions offer a good amount of variety, ranging from loud shootouts and simple escort jobs to more careful, stealth‑oriented break‑ins. Working together, planning roles, and reacting to chaos can be genuinely entertaining. However, the game also has a noticeable downside: the enemy design relies heavily on quantity instead of quality. Enemies often spawn out of nowhere and rush you in large waves, which feels less like challenge and more like developer laziness. It’s not uncommon to get overwhelmed simply because the game decides to flood the map. The friendly AI is another weak point. Despite what some reviews claim, the AI teammates are unreliable. Sometimes they stand right in front of you reloading instead of helping, and there were moments where an AI character ran toward a downed teammate only to suddenly turn around and return to the host for no reason. The host being able to take control of an AI character after dying is a great feature — but unfortunately, this benefit is limited to the host only. All other players are on their own, which makes teamwork essential. Mistakes are rarely forgiven, especially on higher difficulties. Still, for the extremely low price when on sale (around 2 euros), the game delivers a surprisingly entertaining co‑op experience. It’s flawed, yes — but also chaotic, fun, and worth it if you enjoy cooperative shooters and don’t mind a bit of jank. Overall: A rough but enjoyable co‑op shooter, especially at a bargain price.

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!

Ich hab mir Crime Boss: Rockay City im Sale geholt und war am Anfang echt überraschend schnell drin. Das Spiel macht direkt Bock – Koop-FPS mit Stealth, chaotischen Feuergefechten und dazu diese komplett übertriebene, witzige Sprachausgabe. Hat mich ehrlich ein paar Abende gut unterhalten. Irgendwann hab ich mir dann auch noch das komplette DLC-Paket gegönnt, weil ich dachte da kommt noch mehr Tiefe. Und genau da hat es bei mir dann angefangen zu kippen. Das Gameplay selbst ist nicht schlecht – im Gegenteil, auf höheren Schwierigkeitsgraden kann es sogar echt knackig werden. Aber das Problem ist eher der langfristige Anreiz. Es gibt einfach zu wenig wirklich spannende Perks oder Upgrades. Die paar guten Sachen hat man ziemlich schnell komplett ausgebaut, und danach fehlt irgendwie der Grund, weiterzuspielen. Und der Multiplayer macht es auch nicht besser: Lobbys lösen sich ständig auf, Hosts sind AFK oder schließen einfach die Runde. Dadurch geht viel vom Koop-Gefühl verloren, weil man gefühlt mehr Zeit im Warten als im Spielen verbringt. Unterm Strich: Hat mich am Anfang echt abgeholt und kurzzeitig richtig Spaß gemacht, aber der Wiederspielwert ist für mich ziemlich schnell eingebrochen. Für ein paar Stunden im Sale okay, aber langfristig hat es mich nicht gehalten.
