Company of Crime (v1.0.5.1092)

1960s London becomes a grubby, stylish battleground where nightclubs, pubs, docks, and local businesses matter as much as back-alley brawls. Company of Crime blends criminal empire management with turn-based tactical missions, letting players either build a gang powerful enough to dominate the capital or lead Scotland Yard’s Flying Squad in a campaign to dismantle organized crime. Its mood sits somewhere between a British gangster film and a slow-burning police procedural, with sharp suits, smoky venues, and a city divided into districts worth fighting over. Rather than offering a simple cops-versus-robbers fantasy, it makes both sides work through networks of contacts, influence, evidence, and intimidation.

Gang campaigns revolve around recruiting specialists, assigning jobs, taking territory, and keeping rival outfits from cutting into your profits. Police play differently, using detectives to investigate crimes, gather leads, identify suspects, and launch raids before criminals disappear into London’s maze of businesses. Tactical encounters unfold in turn-based battles where positioning, cover, line of sight, and each squad member’s individual abilities shape the outcome; brute force helps, but a badly placed unit can quickly lose control of a fight. Between missions, money, equipment, personnel choices, and district-level influence create a steady progression loop, while the opposing faction continues to apply pressure across the city.

The strongest idea here is its asymmetric structure: criminals focus on expansion and illegal enterprise, while detectives must patiently connect clues and strike at the right targets. London is not merely a backdrop, since its varied venues give operations a grounded, neighborhood-level feel instead of presenting a generic city map. Combat is more deliberate than flashy, and the management layer rewards players who enjoy planning several moves ahead rather than chasing constant action. Fans of XCOM-style squad tactics, Empire of Sin’s criminal themes, or strategy games built around territorial control find plenty to like, especially if they want a more distinctly British take on underworld warfare.
