Cops or mobs, choose your side!
On the eve of the prohibition era, while the Mafia rules the city, a war without pity breaks out between rivaling gangs and a special police task force formed to take the mafia down. The player either takes place a gang leader right arm or of a federal agent. On the mafia side, he attempts murders, kidnappings or initiates raids to take control of the city. The police campaign goes the other way round: the player frees the city one quarter after another by accomplishing missions like investigations.
While conquering the city, he can get access to new weapons, hire new team members and train the abilities of his men.
By the creators of Desperados and Robin Hood, The Legend of Sherwood, Chicago 1930 will plunge players into the 30's and drag them from the Chicago shallows to a pretended respectable community.
