Great game, well implemented. All new cases, with many recurring characters in the background. Highly recommended, get it! My only wish is that the game would support the "advanced" mode of play found in the board game; I prefer to play the board game by analyzing the map, then when I'm ready, going through the cards. The cards give away a lot of clues as they tell the story. This version forces you to use the cards, step by step, which removes some of the challenge. Still, get it & play it!

I am a massive advocate of decent games where you actually pay for it and have a decent gaming experience rather than sitting through ads/freemium garbage. these guys have nailed it. we played the board game of crime city then looked it up to see if there were any more to which we learnt that this exists, downloaded it and played the trial instantly and bought it straight away. so happy with this, I think I actually prefer this experience to the board game due to how well it's been adapted!!

Yeah! Nice entry in the MicroMacro series, a new map and cases so you're not doubling up if you've played the board games, and a few neat nods to the digital format (like being able to see inside certain buildings). The only issue here is it's unfinished. Literally: at the end of the paid full version, the cases only take you across 4 of the cities 9 areas. Presumably there's paid DLC to come. Still, there's about as much content already in here as one of the physical games, and much cheaper!
