Your lieutenant, Touchdown, is a violent guy who loves fighting and constantly shouts football references. The entirety of your crew is as archetypal as it is star studded.
It’s perfect for a placeholder character who’s meant to die in an explosion within the first ten minutes. Everyone knows what a king is, it doesn’t need special explanation or introduction. To add, the story has very simple characters, with common phrases and archetypes like “The King”. Having to sit through watching the same story beats over and over again in various runs would be annoying. It makes sense that the story isn’t too in depth in the cutscenes because Crime Boss has roguelike elements, and restarting is common. To add, the voice acting can be pretty shoddy, like the voice actors weren’t actually interacting, which adds to the confusion. I felt like I was missing cutscenes or context at times. I can get behind that, but the rapid-fire tempo of these cutscenes and opening vignettes make the player feel as though they’re being spun around. Now there’s a new objective: Become the Florida King. However, before The King or any of his lackeys can even get a word in, they all die in an explosion at said party. Your goal is to supply The King of Rockay City with drugs for his party, thus gaining his blessing to sell on his turf. You escape (or die) and set up your crew and minor drug trade. I would say that it’s fitting the game starts off with your character dazed from a flashbang, because the following sequence of events are disorienting. You play as Travis Baker, (played by Michael Madsen) a small-time criminal trying to make it out of a heist gone wrong. The story of Crime Boss is simple in premise, yet confusing in execution.
In fact, what I got was a game that tries to juggle interesting concepts, but fails to fully flesh any of them out. However, Crime Boss fails to deliver said camp. The trailer prepared me for a fun, campy romp with a cops vs robbers theme, taking place in a Floridian city in the 90s: Rockay City. All while he was performing pushups, causing the earth to tremor. Chuck Norris’s hand grazed a basketball, sending it into high orbit, striking a satellite, and then returning to earth for the sickest three point shot the world has ever seen. When I first saw the trailer for Crime Boss: Rockay City I knew I needed to play it.
