Crime Boss launches March 28 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. If you don’t know anything about it, this is an online organized crime game with first-person shooters and territorial battles that can be enjoyed alone or with friends. After trying it, I’m very clear that this might be one of the great games that will go viral on Twitch and see all the streamers hitting “hits” together.
Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to the offices of Ingame Studios in Madrid to see firsthand everything this interesting title has to offer, which although it has a single-player campaign, surely will attract all the attention of the public for its playful cooperative modes.
Crime Boss: Rockay City defines itself as an organized crime game rather than a heist game.. This is so because the game is extremely ambitious in terms of its proposal, since alone or with friends you will have to hit and complete different missions that will be generated in real time in the variety of maps it has to carry them out and earn rewards. large sums of money.
Money in Crime Boss will be very important, since it will be vital to improve the different characters or improve their weapons. This will be vital, since the different blows we will give will require one type of action or another, favoring stealth, brute force or a mixture of both. There will be a large number of characters to choose from, not to mention that the game will place us as allies or enemies with others like Chuck Norris, Kim Basinger, Danny Trejo or Michael Rooker among others.
The main game modes available in Crime Boss: Rockay City
Crime Boss has three different game modes, the first one is Baker Battle, which puts us in front of the experience most designed to play alone. A way in which we will live a story while completing robberies, missions and hits while facing Sheriff Chuck Norris, who will not make it easy for us. We will have to end up controlling the city through territorial wars with other gangs while avoiding the hand of justice. This story mode is also designed to allow us to unlock maps, moves and characters for the other modes, so it is a very useful introduction to get closer to Crime Boss.
The second game mode available is called Crime Time and will be the main mode of Crime Boss. A mode designed to have a good time quickly. Well, quick hits will be generated with shorter activities. The action will be generated randomly by proposing an objective in any of the maps of the game. The main objective of this mode will be to earn money and with it, as I explained before, to improve all game elements. This mode will also allow us to take advantage of longer shots in case you want to take advantage of it properly in cooperation with three other people. This is the mode that we tested the most during our visit to the offices and I was surprised because in addition to being a fairly difficult challenge, the feeling was very positive.
The last of the game modes is Urban Legends and it is a mix of the rest of the modes., because they are orders or robberies that mix a part of small stories of the plot with certain objectives. There are a total of 6 small campaigns which are each completed by overcoming three small missions with their own plot, rivals and characters. In my opinion, the most difficult and interesting mode of all, as it mixes the best of both worlds, a plot to make sense of the game and all the action of playing cooperatively with friends or online.
Thrills with Crime Boss: Rockay City
After playing it for two hours, I have some conclusions that I want to write down. Crime Boss is fun and the gameplay works great. We notice that they worked on the development of old Arma, Mafia, Kingdom Come… The game is very well done and the gameplay is pleasant. The concept of the game, although it is not a big novelty, the modes are fun and functional, I assure you that you will have a great time playing Crime Boss.
His proposal could lead us to go viral on Twitch if the main streamers decide to accept it, because playing cooperatively to fulfill common objectives is more than interesting. In this case, although you can play with people online, you can also It is important to keep in mind that if you have friends to play with, you will have a much better time than with random people you can meet on the net..
The only doubts that it generates in me and that we will see when we have the review available is that I don’t know if the content will be enough for a long life with. I promise you that I enjoyed the two hours played and I could see myself playing many more hours. But I doubt the long-term game will feel fresh and fun for you over the months, as the gameplay isn’t endless, as there will be a time when you’ve completed all of the content. In this direction The path the studio gives you after launch will be very important. We will know all this in the future and it is too early to talk about it.
For now, we can stick to the fact that it’s a beautiful game, it can be a lot of fun, and I always want to get the most out of it.
