Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Play this game every day and never stopped playing it since. This is the closest u are going to get to mafia wars if not way better then mafia wars with facebook friends as well. We love it.
Not anything what we were expecting. The preview is pretty misleading. It gets repetitive pretty quick and we only played till the ninth level which we got there in maybe five minutes so it's pretty easy and very repetitive.
We've been playing this for years, so in general it is pretty good. There are some issues with the game though that seem like they should not be as long-lived. For example, we play on our phone and it is impossible for us to get bonuses – not a big deal in the big picture, but still aggravating because it wasn't a problem before (a year or two back). Also, you have the option of inviting people take part in some of your activities, but if you don't know "Caustic's real name (for example) there is no way to invite them to your event.
Game is fun. Crime really never pays, lol. 25.
Lots to learn and lots to do we love the flash sales.
Cant get past the battle pass screen. Cant click on anything.
We downloaded yesterday and was having fun. We tried to open today and the game has glitches after forcing us to open the battle pass.
First thing we do in the morning and last thing before sleep. And sometimes at other times. It doesnt matter. Fun and Friendly game.
Developer responds quickly to issues.
We have been playing daily for about a year . The last 2 days when we go to play the game , it says its loading then just goes to a blank , black screen. Checked for updates , none Ive put money into this game , dont want to lose it.
Help? Even after today's update.
Game is not opening since the last update just a black screen. UPDATE, Game is working now after uninstall then shut off device and finally reinstall. It crashed a couple times but no more black screen.
After the last update the game loads and then goes to a black screen with game music. Is this happening to others.
Helps all they can with technicalities.
Having used to play Mafia Wars for years and years back in the day, we were excited to find this game looked a lot like it. Mob Wars has a lot of potential. We love the idea and mechanics but theres one major flaw that is making us not want to play….the energy refills we have can only be used once EVERY 24 HOURS. Whats the point of having 5/5 refills if we cant use them all? When we have hundreds on Mob members sending boosts when you can only hold 5 and use them once a day. Just doesnt make any sense. The game would be exponentially better if we could use all 4-5 a day.. Leveling fees super slow and the game already feels like a grind rather than a fun mobile game to pass time.
We enjoy it even more than Mafia Wars.
Please for the love of all things holy, add higher than buying 10 properties at a time, we will spend 6 hours a day just tapping the same button over and over again when buying properties if you add this feature then its the perfect game.
On Mobil app, if would be great to see how much money we generate in an hour like you can on desktop.
We used to play a bunch of games like this years ago and they all disappeared slowly. Thanks for bringing it back.
Just downloaded the game but it is not opening.
New To This Guys Add us To Your Mob 98CCF7.
Another game with no African American characters… Racist much.
Im writing tickets practically every day and exchanging email messages with Henry and Matthew, but so far Ive received no help as far as getting the issue resolved. We spend most of our time trying to keep them informed about our game not working properly. We spent only once so far on in-game fps, but we cant see spending more until the issues are addressed and fixed. They really dont seem to interested in getting the problem resolved.
Been playing for five years. We have nearly $1 trillion. Sure wishing it was real money.
Just like mafia wars back in the day.
It would be nice if you could make a business and hire real players.
The updated version looks exactly like the older version. Not sure where these screen shots came from.
This is a good time killing game and we remember playing a similar game like this 10 yrs ago on fbook and got us hooked love the mafia games just like this one anyways thumbs up.
The game is only hard in the beginning but you learn as you go. And the further along in the game you are the more fun it is.
An Excellent game of patience and strategy.
We connected to Facebook after a few hours of playing. And lost all our progress and we cant get it back and we had spent money on the game what do we do.
Iykyk we miss fow and was looking for something like it, this is about as close as youll find.
There is nothing to say. Thank you.
A person can play as many accounts as they can afford and play friends in your face while betraying you on another.
You cant use the words dumb or weak in chats without getting a message youll be ban due to creating a toxic environment but you can watch people insult everyone else and use terms that sexualize children and thats fine save your time and find a better game.
Cant login with Google login like how we do on android and windows.. Please fix.
It would be cool if you added Gotham city too. But great game.
So far its pretty good. We havent played a game on our phone since 2012 which was Gang Wars and the Sims lol. Add us our code is 75EC86.
We were a video game addict since we were in pre-school with sports games being our favorite especially when Tecmo Bowl was released. Then a few days ago we were just looking at the apps during which we discovered this one and we were intrigued by how the reviews were actually pretty much positive and the purpose/goal of this app/game was attainable and the other things which were involved in the process of accomplishing tasks ranging from fist fights to gun battles to explosions!! Tasks are not impossible to complete and the whole point of the game is amazing and any one with any type of sense has more than a fair chance of being promoted upwards, building and acquiring territory and storage facilities!! We actually have beds enjoying our time with this app! We are still amazed by the quality of the service and the type of crimes that you have to accomplish in your pursuit to be bumped up to an authority figure in the crime family of your city.
One of the funnest games on the App Store. Also, it works fairly well with voiceover. Love playing every day.
Been a player for 10 plus years. Its part of our day. Have a nice family and friends, and a few good enemies.
As a truck driver one of the best apps to play on the Road.
Think you can create a superhero game like the app Im playing.
Love the game just like the old games like this back in day simple but fun.
How come you dont have Blitzs on Sunday.
Format of the game is great as one reviewer said, we actually play a different game by the developer thats practically the same games script (both good with faults) except reworded to make it into a new game – we have no issue with that. Issue is with how fast players progress, not much to do when everyone has 999,999,999$ or whatever, except let new players pick off 1k of that profit – same issue the other games players are having, still worth playing though, but unfixable at this point we think.
We personally can not access or receive some of the awesome rewards we play through Facebook on an iPhone 6s. So not sure what the malfunction is Greatly appreciate your professional support and cooperation in resolving this unfortunate situation Sincerely Chef. B.
Money pit pay to win. Theres even a missing feature on the mobile app which makes the game unfair to mobile users. In the desktop version you can take gifted items and create powerful weapons. In the app version you cannot which in-turn generates Kano revenue. Im guessing they purposely did this to get people to spend more. We also believe this violates the terms of service for both apple and google play. Kano if youd like to provide a rebuttal now would be the time. You left the workshop feature out of the app. Care to explain.
We switched to iOS from Android & we can not log in using google/gmail . Only lets us login using apple/iCloud.
Ive enjoyed this game since we got it. However Ive run into an issue in recent levels where we run out of players to attack on the fight list and have to attack what is referred to as whacked mobsters. Im assuming this is because everyone in our level range is either dead or injured. This is very annoying as these whacked mobsters dont reward money or nearly as much xp as normal players. The devs ought to consider raising the hp regeneration rate significantly to fix this. The hp regen rate is so painfully slow in this game that if a player is attacked when theyre offline, theyll remain low on health for days if not weeks. This is the one thing about this game we find to be really poorly thought out. The devs should consider raising the regen rate to 10% hp every 5 minutes from the +1 hp every 3-4 minutes it is right now. This way offline players hp will regen faster and more people will be available on the fight list. We used to play a game called Villains back in the day and that game had the hp regen rate we suggested and it worked perfectly. Please consider this.
