About Chicago Remastered:
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).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.
