Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Hi, we think you should add sound effects to the game it will be really cool.
Youll get roped in Theres so much we could say. The community is lovely, the game is simple yet competitive, and theres so much to do. The only phone game that will be on our device forever . 10/10 :).
Mike (the owner) sometimes doesnt pay out the credits you purchase in the game. Its been turning horrible lately and he is stealing money on purpose from the game do not pay for credits.
Takes to much time to get bullets.
Ive played multiple rounds (15 in game weeks per round) and we always find ourselves coming back! This game requires zero to no skills other than how to stack your bullets and how to strategize them in becoming the best GN player! If you dont know where to start or how to play, the game comes with a guide and its pretty easy to follow! Your lifeline basically revolves around your bullet count and how you choose to make friends and enemies throughout the game. Theres a little bit of everything for someone here you can run Families and try your luck at climbing the GN ladder or it can fail miserably. You can extort, gamble, theres a lottery for money and bullets, put people on bounty boards, vote players to make their own newspaper times, or even stir up trouble by trying to scam players or even hiring shooters! Theres rules to this game but very little which we enjoy! Its pretty much chaos all the time and its awesome! We rate it 5 stars because its pretty straight forward fun game, addictive, and it wastes time :) cant really ask for more but if we did, Id only add a couple minor things like, maybe more community missions for bank robberies and delivery heists, adding / letting us trade planes and boats would be awesome for more missions to use on them. Also would give us more options other than just trading cars. We also know there is rules for duplicate accounts but time after time we run into players trying to sell multiple accounts which gives us the suspicion that theres probably a couple bad seeds on this game and some are forsure being fed bullets. Hopefully we look forward in the future having more moderators or people to actually make sure we dont have cheaters.
This game is so much fun us and our cousin play this game all day and just grind.
We love this game but like its to easy to kill kinda if you have money You can kill every one make it easy to get cars plz can you add a Harley Quinn car.
Theres no shooting, no action. Lol with a name of gangsta nation, we were definitely let down.
If you and your friends or partner decide to play the game, and connect with the same WiFi connection, it will ban interaction between you and your friends. Makes the experience much less enjoyable. No shared connections. Dont make the mistake. Tell your friends not to use your WiFi. Real Pooh policy.
We got killed in the game and had insurance but cant get anything back.
We love the game only thing Id ask for is if we could be able to trade masks and lock picks and stuff like that for heists to give to people that dont have it to speed the start process up.
This game was fun and addictive the first few rounds. It got very repetitive but showed great promise. We uninstalled the game today. The level of toxicity and language and bullying is of a whole other magnitude. They need to do more in game checks on toxic players and communication. Its easy to get money and bullets so no complaint there. Other than your spontaneous bullying of other players the game is half decent. We dont think we will ever redownload the game. Or spend any more money on it. We hope the developers and in game managers read this, but then again, most reviews that are bad go unnoticed.
Its a very fun game and Im honestly surprised more arent playing.
This game keeps getting better with every update keep them coming Mike.
We love this game and we play it almost every single day, you dont have to grind to be good but you can. 10/10 game.
This game is super fun and addictive but we dont really have ppl to play the heists with and no one joins ours/starts theirs when anyone joins, can you maybe add some solo heists please? Overall an amazing game and we love playing, just adding some recommendations for the people who have no one to play with.
ODiN here! Been loving the progress this game has made, Mike. Its come a very long way since the start. Looking forward to what the future holds.
Idk how this game been out so long (10+ years) with little exposure glad we found it tho.
You guy should add mayors for each city so the editor can convince mayor to do that and this and and it hard to use our gun. You guys need to make the kill cost cheaper for low level player.
Hello Im a real big fan of the game but just resently we have been ban from communication and we havent done nothing wrong Im wondering if this is a glitch or if we actually did something.
This game is so immersive that Im unable to put our phone down! Fast paced, always on the move to stay one step ahead of enemies and two ahead of the law, love it.
All around great experience its severally enhanced when jango is around.
