Omerta - City of Gangsters is a simulation game with turn-based tactical game-play elements.

The title covers the time of the 1920s - the Roaring Twenties - at the time of the Prohibition in the United States. The games story itself takes place in Atlantic City, Atlantic County were, at this time, due to the ban of any alcohol, the organized crime went to the underground were Mafia-schemed structures rose out of it, which is the key storyline the game is focussed on.

In the beginning just small hole-and-corner dealings, with time the players character edges up his business in the hierarchy of criminality advancing highly enough to establish his own little business. The player can expand its business more and more by purchasing untenanted shops, buildings and structures to establish his own bar, brewery or distillery or even buy out an opposing speakeasy. More legal ways for generating income are buying apartments to obtain leasing. In the end it's intended to acquire warehouses to extend storage.

As the game progress the character can recruit his own companions and manifests thereby his own little gang and with this help conquer other territories of other gangster bosses tightening its own Mafia syndicate. Those characters provide specific role-playing elements as they handle, based on their individual characteristics, the different load-outs they can be equipped with. In turn-based confrontations with other combatants the player can expand his influence using his henchmen to push other godfathers bit by bit out of business to become the unchallenged patron of Atlantic City to reign supreme in the end.

Next to the games multi-player part which features also (in sense of; as well, not only) cooperative game-play, it offers a sandbox mode to explore the game world, roam and expand freely on four different maps covering districts of Atlantic City to play an endless game.
