Our latest title, Crimecity, has a quite interesting retail career so far. It has already been released in Russia since October (by Akella) and sales reports are great. It is also published in Germany by Daedalic Entertainment. We are very pleased with the excellent job done by Akella for the russian CD cover (on the right), it is very GTA-like! |

Daedalic, on the other hand, also did a fine job on the CD cover for the german release (on the left). Beat Games, the game’s retailer, reports over 3,000 of units sold in Germany already.
Under the Beat Games label, the following games have been published among other things: |
CrimeCity is out there for two weeks, and we are impressed from the feedback we got so far. Even though it’s still too early to tell, in the casual games’ arena, the game seems to behave very well and this could be an indication that the casual audience is now looking for gameplay originality, 3D looks and a more hard-core flavour - these are, we believe, CrimeCity’s stronger assets.
We don’t claim to be cutting edge gameplay innovators trying to do something that’s never been done before. What we do is more subtle - borrowing elements from genres we love and blending them together into something that’s fresh, yet also familiar. CrimeCity’s unique blend of casual action with strategy elements seem to have found an audience with casual gamers who appreciate a diversion from the norm.
The guys at EGCGAMES were kind enough to share their opinion on the game. Overall impression was positive:
“I found the game to be very interesting and amusing. Literally, you will try to stop playing, but you won’t want to. The 45 minutes demo will just pass so quickly, that you will want to buy it at once… On the other hand if you really want to buy the game, it’s available through the official website (a very nicely designed one) http://games.tetrahedron.gr/crimecity/home.html at the very nice price of ?13,5 or $19,99″
