Fictional crime is fun. Clandestine, extra-legal shenanigans have a special place in my heart. However, some criminality simulators are just built different. With the right combination of style, finesse, and risk, crime games can be elevated from the merely naughty to the truly memorable. This is exactly what Crime Boss: Rockay City, a new first-person heist simulator from Ingame Studios, attempts to achieve.
Crime Boss is an ambitious combination of frantic first-person heists and roguelike gang-management elements; delivered through a roguelike single-player campaign, supported by a roster of co-op modes. In order to get to the center of exactly what Crime Boss has in store for us, I spoke to Jarek Kolar, Ingame Studios’ Head of Development, and Damion Poitier, writer and voice actor for the game.
