Company of Crime places you in the heart of 1960s London. Will you build an influential criminal empire, or head up an elite Scotland Yard task force and crack down on the rising tide of corruption? Case out targets, then dive into the melee with your hand-picked team of gangsters or detectives.

## About This Game
Company of Crime is a criminal empire-builder featuring tactical turn-based
missions. It
takes place in 1960s London, the cultural capital of the world and home to a
plethora of
subcultures and businesses. Your task is to build a company that will own
the criminal underworld, or if you play as the chief inspector of Scotland
Yard’s famous Flying Squad, tear it down piece by piece. In the process you
will go to pubs, clubs, vets, tailors, harbors and many other locations as you
expand your influence over the city. Your team consists of either gang members
possessing the different skills required to pull off criminal tasks, or
detectives that have mastered the art of investigation. The big question is
ultimately this: who will take London?
## Features:

Tactical turn-based melee combat
With a focus on melee combat and tight spaces, Company of Crime sets itself
apart from other tactical turn-based strategy games. Units have a zone of
control that makes them tied to the choices you make. Block enemy movements,
build superiority in numbers, and gain flanking bonuses by attacking from
behind. You can even kick enemies where the sun doesn’t shine to create safe
passageways to units that would otherwise get free attacks. If someone grabs a
gun, either find cover or go after them to wrestle it away before the bodies
start piling up.

Heat mechanics
When doing your dirty business, you’d be wise to silently extort your way
through the underworld. Loud gunfire or shooting enemies will only attract
more opposition, and a criminal empire that blows its cover won’t go far.
Fighting the outcome of too much heat is always more difficult than avoiding
it, and if things get too tough, you better have some leverage to get the cops
off your back.

Level progression
This is more than just cops and robbers. Whatever the mission is, there is
level progression beyond just hit points and stamina. Beating up the owner of
a pub is one thing, but you can’t just bail before the police arrive. You’ll
have to first assemble any evidence that will prove it was you at the crime
scene crime scene before jetting.

Building legit business with criminal means
Building a criminal empire requires a legitimate cover. Progression of the
game takes place as you… ahem… “convince” people to sell their businesses and
homes to you at a bargain price, or at least turn a blind eye to what you do
in their back room. Owning more locations will unlock more items, features,
and elements, but will also potentially expose you to a surprise attack from
the police or a rival criminal family.

Not just your own story
While your task is to create an empire of crime or to tear it down, this is
not just your story. This is a story of 1960s London with beatniks, mods,
lemonheads, rockers and every other cultural identity of the time. It’s also a
story of a falling empire. The Cold War UK is shining in the cultural world,
but is facing ever-increasing pressure from inside and out. There is a
mysterious order trying to tear down the British Empire from the shadows, and
who better to fight it than experts of the underworld and the famous Flying
Squad.

Reactive Police
Shady business takes place in obscurity, so police gameplay is more reactive.
You get the call only when violence takes place, but that’s not the best way
to find evidence against the criminal families. Assign sergeants to discover
shady places, speak with informants, and apply for search warrants to raid
questionable locales. Make sure they don’t burn the evidence before you manage
to arrest them, or they’ll walk free as quickly as they were taken in.
