If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? The fact that you don’t have access to a mouse isn’t that egregious in here, and the map design, mostly alleyways and old buildings, is actually quite good. Its combat sections are actually the best thing about it, mostly because they’re heavily derivative of XCOM. That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything fun to do in Empire of Sin. You can hear the Switch’s small fans roaring in order to make up for how much the game is punishing the system’s CPU and GPU. Textures are ugly, the resolution is quite low, and the game takes a long time to load, even after the release of the latest patch. I’ll give the developers credit for putting out some patches that have slightly improved the visuals, but this is still that typical case of a Switch port that suffered a ton of setbacks in order to run on that system’s underpowered hardware. That can also be seen with how ugly the game looks on the Switch. Empire of Sin may have been announced at one of Nintendo’s E3 presentations, but this is a PC, first and foremost.Įmpire of Sin is at its best when it’s just a shallow yet efficient XCOM clone.

It is very overwhelming and it feels worse because of the Switch’s small screen and obvious lack of mouse and keyboard support.

Empire of Sin is a strategy RPG set in Chicago during the 1920 prohibition-era. The business simulator bits are quite boring, to be honest. There is just too much to do and keep track of and that will quickly overwhelm you if you don’t pay attention to the tutorial, or even if you stop playing the game for a week or so and then decide to go back. In order to achieve that, you must go through the game’s extensive, gigantic tutorial. You begin as a nobody a small-time mobster with a few dollars and a gun in your pocket, and it’s up to you to create your bootlegging empire. How you doin’?Įmpire of Sin features tons of gameplay elements from different genres crammed into one package and that’s probably its biggest, well, sin. I ended up choosing an Italian mob boss for one simple reason: he talks exactly like Joey from Friends. It’s the typical case of “so bad it’s good”, and I was totally onboard with that. This is when you’ll be greeted with what’s probably the best thing about Empire of Sin, even if unintentionally: its voice acting. Besides some real-life Prohibition-era faces like good ol’ Al Capone, you can also choose between an assortment of fictional characters to control. The first thing you need to do in Empire of Sin is to choose your aspiring mob boss.
