Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 17 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
The biggest problems: - it has bugs in main story lines which block finishing the quests - healing is boring - boss difficulty is too easy Overall it is a great game which can be fixed with some polishing. UPDATE: most of the issues have been fixed
Way too many glitches!

If you can get it on an EXCEPTIONALLY deep discount, sure, the game is fun for what it is. But there is absolutely no way in hell the game is worth its full price, especially considering the devs abandoned the game in late April and still left many gamebreaking bugs unresolved.
Good Idea, but Paradox showed again, they just don't care enough.
Empire of Sin est très sympa au premier abord mais devient vite redondant. Les combats sont lents, les tours de l'IA sont longs, la précision est aux fraises (pire que xcom, c'est tout dire) et pour finir, un système vaseux d'amour/haine entre gangsters vous empêchera d'avoir un gang avec les membres que vous désirez. La gestion des "commerces" (au nombre incroyable de 4) est vraiment basique et brouillon, aucun tuto digne de ce nom ne vous explique concrètement le système de "synergie" et le système de diplomatie est anecdotique. Pour ce qui est du contenu... Il y en a peu, les marqueurs de missions sont "bizarres" et ces dernières sont assez mal expliquées et/ou buguées. En conclusion, ce jeu peut éventuellement briller par son ambiance pendant les premières heures mais la gestion, la redondance, la lenteur globale du jeu et le manque de contenu finira simplement par vous lasser. J'ai + de 60h de jeu et je n'ai jamais eu la patience d'aller au bout ni même compris toutes les mécaniques de gameplay...
At the beginning i bought the full game, with the 2 promised expansions, on a cheap key website, didn't read the feedback, only watched some youtube players and i got excited to play it too!!! But what a surprise it was... many bugs, needing a lot of fixings, now its seems to be abandoned/forgotten! Wanted a refund but cant get it because i bought it on a cheap website. Lets just dream that some day they come back and fix the game. Come on ROMERO! Cant you remember the old days of dedication!
даже за 300 рублей скучно
buggy as hell, cant progress because when i take over a bosses safehouse the game locks up
This game has so many bugs, some of them game braking, not to mention the complete scam that is the second DLC - do not but this game under any circumstances, the developers do not care about it at all
Примитивненько. Экономика убогая, как и дипломатия. Боссы мафий - фрики. Но в целом - играбельно, если бы не эта обдристанная тактика. Первые 3-4 боя "ок", но когда у тебя шесть рыл, против тебя шесть рыл, по 30 минут стоите на месте и промахиваетесь в упор - ну такое. Господи, да сделайте автобой, тактика - это ж ФИ. Даже настройку не завезли со скипом анимации. Там у чаров обычных в мидгейме по 160 хп, ему в пузо надо стоять из дробовика по 10 выстрелов делать или стилетом стоять кромсать. Навыки и прокачка не меняют геймплей, будь то гренадёрка (тут одни бабы), что снайперша, что врачиха, всё одно, вы всё равно встретитесь у входа и будете дышать друг другу в рот. Искренне не понимаю людей, которые тащатся спустя десять боев перекликивать и переставлять человечков, кидая виртуальный кубик, чтобы попасть в болванчика. Самый тупой жанр. А как экономическая "РТС" - простенько, но увлекательно.
