About this game

Do you miss pixels and 80’s arcades? Empire City Touch will offer you a dive into the past in your favourite arcade!

But times have changed. Your smartphone will replace the arcade cabinet, adding a brand new, immersive and captivating control mode. Move, look around you and you will realize that you are in the middle of the game, surrounded by enemies.

Empire City Touch: retro spirit with cutting edge technology!

The game
New York, 1931. Being in broad Prohibition, power struggles among rival families are at their pick. Your purpose is to revenge the destruction of the family you belonged to. Will you be able to kill the boss?

How to play
Moving the smartphone around you, you can find and shoot at mobsters one at a time. They lurk around various areas, including on the street and in windows. An arrow appears that helps direct you to the location of the next mobster onscreen. You have a set amount of time to find and shoot each enemy; if time is running out, a speech bubble appears counting down the last few seconds on the timer. When the timer reaches zero, you are shot and the screen pans to the location of the enemy. A defend button is available as a last resort to avoid being shot. You can replenish your ammo or get bonus points by shooting hidden boxes. Levels are cleared after a set number of mobsters are eliminated. In the game's final level, you has only one opportunity to assassinate the mob boss as he walks in front of windows in a building.

As an owner of the original arcade PCB for this game, I can tell you this version is pretty faithful. Most of the graphics are identical and most of the music and sound effects are there, but the sad trombone sound that plays when you die doesn't fit at all. The scrolling is much faster and it seems to give you more time to shoot the enemies, but that's due to the nature of touch controls. The night stages are a much darker blue, making it harder to see enemies. Probably the worst part about the game is that you have to pay to continue playing once you run out of your initial 3 lives. I don't know how faithful the final boss is, or if the naked girl appears on the first stage once you beat the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if those features were heavily tweaked or removed entirely. It's good, and worth trying, but nothing will beat the arcade original with a real joystick and buttons.
