Jogo antigo, mesma empresa de Desperados. Gostei demais, me lembrou de quando eu jogava no meu windows 98 a muito tempo atrás. O jogo tem vários bugs (dificuldade não muda, não da para trocar o time, ficando com o inicial), mas foi jogável no windows 10.
nice
Game is crashing in multiple places, as - please do all buyers a fawor and solve all anoying issues!
search for pirate version, steam version is worst, no shortcuts. I CANT even begin second mission, why? crash!
crushes and revising team problem. also, that game has no choice as same time plans
Well, I feel very mixed about this release. For today standards the game can feel a bit archaic, but it's still very good and challenging. It's not as good as Commandos or Desperados [AI can sometimes do some weird things], but overall I got some really good time with it. But I can't recommend the steam version.
Numerous glitches and bugs bites your ass every few minutes. You are basically locked with your team members and can't change them [game is always reseting your roster at the begining of the mission], dynamic music change sometimes works, sometimes you need to pause the game for it to work, surprise freezes and error on some of the missions [heard that people got crashes on Mafia mission 2, i got it on mission 5, basically making it impossible to finish]. The game can't be patched correctly, doing so you are forced to reinstall.
And it's such a shame, because Chicago 1930 by itself is solid and atmospheric [very pulpy comic book feel] game. Until it's on GOG try to find used physical version. Or, you know. Other sources.
Please don't buy it. It has a character selection bug. Really annoyed.
In the state it's in, it should deserve a negative, but I've paid less than $1 for it so I'm gonna be more lenient.
The premises are all good, there's the good vibe of an old-school game and the levels should keep you occupied and entertained, with actually some planning skills required to clear them. That said, the game IS buggy and crashes randomly. The way you operate your characters is also quite clunky, and frankly, a bit frustrating.
Be patient and work around the bugs, you'll at least enjoy it for what it is.
Crashes after completing 2nd mission, reloaded and now crashes after redoing 1st mission. Can't load next next mission because the game just closes. Fun while it lasted!
This game is like my uncle Terry, he is fun to have around and hang out with, but at any second he can crash and die.
It's a broken port. It may seem fine at first, but you will see the problems real soon. Like a guarantee character selection bug: you can't change your team unless one of them is dead; if you try to replace your current team with new guys and new equipment, when you start the mission you will see all the guys from the previous mission but now with empty inventories, and it can't be fixed. Most of the time it works normal but crashes and glithes happen from time to time. You can't buy this game on GOG, so your best option is getting your hands on the original release and run it on a virtual machine with windows XP.
In 2001 Spellbound studios released one of its masterpiece Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, followed by Robin Hood the legend of Sherwood in 2002. Both games have many similarities in design and gameplay. I just finished Robin Hood and somehow enjoyed the game despite its clunky movement and camera.
A year later they released Chicago 1930 with a very different game mechanics. Now the character no longer has specific dedicated skills; all the mafias can use all the weapons. What's different is just their stats. Two, there is no shortcuts to the items, so you have to drag your mouse to the right section of your scree, click the weapon, drag your mouse to the enemy, drag your mouse again to choose another weapon. One word: LAME! Three, the AI is lame all the same. I don't understand why the AI no longer has the vision cone, and although it is shown that they are angry, the AI doesn't even move from their spot. Four, the mission is rather unclear. I was in the second mission of the mafia where you have to destroy the barrels, but I just can't enter many of the doors. Some doors have a "key" sign on them, which I could not find. The rest of the doors which don't have the key sign can't also be accessed. Like what am I supposed to do? Maybe I am not meticulous enough to find the key whatsoever, but I don't even bother to find out from the web how to finish the mission. Double clicking the character doesn't move your camera towards him. The highest fps I can get is 25 (which is excusable). The story is not compelling at all; it's like "do this, do that" kind of story.
Overall, nothing compels me to play this game anymore. I'm just glad I bought this game for under a dollar
There are a couple unforgivable glitches and bugs, but nothing game breaking on windows 10 and it has widescreen support and hi res textures so it looks incredible for its age.
Its less stealth tactics and more puzzle solving shooter, but in the end is one of those few games based in the prohibition era and damn fun when you get the hang of it.
Commandos/Desperados Style Game.
It's nice when you like games like Commandos and/ or Desperados. Actually, it's not a gem like these two games, but it's better than nothing. Another game I'd like to recommend is Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood. Desperados, Robin Hood and Chicago share their background.
The story is nice, even if it's not a Blockbuster or something. You experience how Don Falcone gains and looses control over Chicago. Destroy the enemy gang and put some gangsters in detention. What else can we expect in a city of crime in the late 20's?
All in all, if you like this kind of game and don't want to play Desperados a 23rd time, then try out this nice little game!
As much as I love this game, I played it years ago. I can't recommend it, it is full of bugs, glitches, freezes. impossible to proceed to the next level, it goes back to a different part of the game instead, this happening in later missions of the mafia levels. selecting game characters and weapons is meaningless the game resets your choices. without a good patch, it is useless.
got to buy n download this nostalgic game after years but sadly it crashes at start of second mission. n its not just me look at discussions its some bug shit
I haven't played Chicago 1930 in 2004, but I love good old games. Escpecially such isometric camera and graphics.
What we have here? It is a tactical game with optional pause about gangsters and police. You can choose your team members, upgrade their stats. The interesting thing is that you have 2 opposite campaigns. At first you have to get whole city under your mafia control. Then you will play as FBI agent that starts investingation (first level is very different from previous gameplay, feel yourself as a detective) and at the end frees Chicago from mafia's hands.
Game is interesting, with different mechanics for each of campaings. Surprisingly it works well on W10, I even got 1080 resolution at first launch already.
If you played Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood - you will be in a familiar place :)
Overall, I can recommend Chicago 1930 for everyone who likes such style of gameplay and that classical isometrical look :)
The concept is there and it's a good one.
But it feels and plays like it's incomplete.
Enemies don't react in a rational manner. Most of the time they are only staring at you.
Like they are waiting for you to gun them down or knock them out. '
Overall the way they behave and react is all over the place.
Sometimes it works. Most times it just doesn't.
And I found no viable patch or fix. So yeah, I'm sad to say that I cannot recommend it.
I have no idea which stupid idiot decides to publish this game in this condition but seriously - I'm impressed. I just don't know how it is possible to bug game without bugs. How you can fuck up selecting characters is just unanswerable. To change the guys you literally have to kill someone in the mission and hope that game will not select automatically another one by itself. Overall I love the game - but CD version not STEAM edition. Bought it only because CD version doesn't work on anything above XP and I just couldn't record it with FRAPS on XP. If you need to record it or if you have Vista or newer... You have to buy it... Unfortunately... But if you just want to play and you have access to PC with something between 98SE and XP than just find and buy CD version.
After Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood in 2002 Spellbound felt adventurous enough to scrap the idea that a RTT requires unique characters with different interactions that play off of each other and are contingent to completing a level. The strategy is still there (vision, stealth and ammo management) and it even has a cool-yet-not-needed-to-win-a-level type of "pick your own squad" RPG feature like the older Might and Magic games.
The pro strat is to use Jack Beretto (the Green Beret of this game if you will) while selecting any other goon to simply carry ammo for him as he has the barebones necessary skills of... stunning... and tying up enemies while also shooting.
The game is still fun but I feel like one should feel and take a more cynical approach to these type of games especially since good ones are a rarity. I honestly feel pretty scared to properly try out the 2 sequels to Desperados because of this (Helldorado and Cooper's Revenge).
The game it self is fine, my complains are on the controls that are overcomplicated, and even the simplest mechanics are frustrating, like shooting an enemy, especially if you are using more than one character at once... the friendly AI simply doesn't exist... I know this is an old game and everthing, but I find it uselessly stressfull and not enjoyable... (NB: I'm not new to old games, since I've played -and enjoyed a lot- Mafia I from 2001).
