What Makes Idle Mafia Stand Out
The grittiest idle mafia simulation game out there!
Manage insidious businesses, gather talented Capos to carry out your bidding, and occupy new territory through any means necessary.
- Do what you want: take protection fees, rob anyone, fight on the streets… Be a benevolent leader or a ruthless crime lord. Who you steal from and what you steal is all up to you!
- Make tons of money: set up casinos, gentlemen's clubs, or even an adult studio empire! You'll need cash businesses to keep things running smoothly.
- Grow from a no-name gang into an international crime syndicate: from stealing to kidnapping, nothing is off limits unless you say so.
- Expand your territory: occupy streets and cities to build your own Mafia empire. Tear down those who stand in your way, and recruit loyal followers to your cause.
- Collect Capos: infamous criminals from around the world with special abilities that set them apart. Whether it's a horde of robot ninjas or luchadore accountants, become a force to be reckoned with!
- Idle Cash: you're the boss here – sit back and enjoy as your loyal minions handle all the dirty work. Behind every successful fortune is a crime!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love the game. Have had it for years no complaints for a long time. But with the new event,which is the only one we like it crashes so much and we lose our score. Idk why. Its frustrating us.
Good game pretty fun and easy to understand.
Had this game for 3 years. Sometimes its hard to progress but its cool when you do.
Though we do like the game, it is nothing at all like what is promoted on the pictures. We were looking for that type of game. This one is really repetitive.
Addicting its a fun game to loss time.
Some of the challenges become a little grindy unless you p2p. All in all fun game, fun metric.
We love idle mafia its our fav idle game but lately they have been filled with ads. And the ads are getting vulgar. We dont want to see men bulges in spandex.
After the 3rd map it starts making more sense, but we were very close to undownloading it lol Im still not sure if we like it 100% yet.
We actually really like this game. The little side games are fun too. But when you reach around level 30 the game is just irritating. The fun of leveling up your capos pretty much dies because unless you are willing to spend some serious real life money you cant upgrade them. Its a bummer, this is a good game. There was clearly a lot of effort put into making this game and we get the $5 monthly club. We get spending money here or there to advance a little faster. But once you get to a certain point in the game there in no point in continuing to play unless youre willing to spend hundreds on leveling up your team.
Great game pretty easy to play too.
We wish we could more stars , we have no issues so far and we been on this game for a while and plus we spent money on it.
We think idle mafia is good but we think they should add more battle machines.
This game is awesome. It a good game. The more level to go. The level get harder and harder to level up. But it keep you busy. Thank you god bless ya. We gave this game 10 out of 10.
Needs more to be like an idle take idle army or something you need that.
Im not a gamer in ANY capacity lol but we like that this game: 1. The graphics look nice; the quality of the graphics and then just the art in general we like a lot. 2. Its kind of like those tycoon games where Im building a business but also upgrading characters who have special skills and whatnot. We do wish the wording and terms were a bit simpler. For example, we dont understand why the players we have are called: CAPOS. We also wish it was kind of easier or there was another way to get the cards you need to upgrade the players. Otherwise, we love this game.
5 x The game is so entertaining you can play with a lot of incentives without compulsory ad farming or needing to pay for extras and in app purchases to progress further in the game. Love this game, great product developers and keep the good work.
Plenty of activities to keep you busy . You can make in game purchases but its not necessary. Daily goals, turf wars, earn diamonds for upgrades instead of purchasing. Heres one of the best parts, no ads every time you accomplish something. Download today , log in daily for rewards, upgrade your mafia and enjoy.
Game is fun and side games are fun however the game has glitches and it stops counting points so you can reach your goal. We are playing the mini games where you are mining and the game did not use 2 trucks so o lost out on a lot of points. Very frustrating.
No Im not a paid reviewer Im a real person with too much time on our hands, this game is actually pretty fun and its fast paced so its not like the other idle games where you HAVE to leave it over night to make any further progress. 10/10.
If you like idle games with lots to do and the option for ads but not forced ads this game is for you. Hundreds of characters, tons of levels, lots of grinding to do to get what you want ( unless you watch ads to speed things up ). We would give it 10/10.
We love this game. A lot to do. Our go-to game every day! Only thing is, its hard to advance without paying or watching ads.
This game is excellent and remenescent of 90s early 2000s mafias having territory wars over local pizza joints and bars , upgrading your crew is extremely hard in the beginning of the game but if you hang around you can own the town.
We saw most of the recent reviews were 1 year old at least so wanted to provide an update. The game is still as fun as some of the other 5 start reviews. Theres new mini games every day, the base ones keep you busy and always have something to progress towards. If you have a good gang you all work together and make serious strong bonds. Its truly a well rounded exciting game to play. We spend real money in the game and its all worth to progress quicker and you never stop having fun things to do. If youre the competitive or group play type this game is for you.
Pictures do not match the type of game it is. Found your ad on Instagram and the actual game is nothing like its advertised not only there but here on the App Store. Only reason we gave it a 2 instead of a 0 is because we guess people like these type of games.
Fun game not over-time consuming,figure out new strategies and compatibility options for your squads and join friends in teams.
Easy to play. Quick progress. Continual play. Fun. Don't care for the violence.
This is a really good game. The best idol game Ive played. That said, the design of the game is a cash grab. We liked this game enough to sub at $5 a month and we usually spend a few bucks per event. (Events last several days) The sad part is our subscription doesnt allow us to get premium in the event. That is another fee. Each event has a premium. Even if we spends a few bucks and some diamonds in the events we cant complete the event. The game doesnt provide enough materials without paying more $. Even if we opted for the premium rewards from the event it cant be completed. For instance this weeks event is Racing City. We spent .99 plus our monthly sub, plus about 100 diamonds and we dont have enough gas to upgrade our capos to finish the event. Far far from it. Bottom line. Its a beautiful game but if youre not going to shell out $20-30 a week Id advise against getting started. In all honesty there are some other really good games out there that would be happy to have us as a subscriber on a monthly basis, and that would be enough for them. Its very clear this game is designed to reach into your wallet. So much so that its frustrating. Makes us not want to play when we have to pay money every few days just to play it and feel like we achieved our task. Its a negative gaming experience. Ill probably move on very soon.
This game has a lot to offer to keep you busy. Always a bunch of different things going on at once that keep you engaged.
Its such an easy game & its fun & simple. Something to pass the time when you go into fights. Its great that it keeps ur progress & it keeps going up. Great game. Totally recommend.
We say same old gameplay, but all tycoons are the same. But the ads that we saw for this game were nothing alike so 2 stars is being generous.
We love this game because its our favorite idle game so far. LOVE THIS GAME.
We love the game but, changing the loading dock was the worst decision. With all the negative feedback you guys still kept the change. We almost left the gams. Still canceled our dock permit.
Weekday events are impossible to win without spending money. Other than that, 2+ years and counting. Just wish the weekdays were winnable. They make it so its impossible. Ive spent an ungodly amount of money to this game. Youd think that would be appreciated. But its not. Some new events would be cool also.
Game was good n fun. But now we cant play. It wont let us in the game.
The only game we had on our phone for years that we never deletedIts that good.
No matter how much we spend we can never get first in events if its $20 or $200 we feel you wont allow it to keep people spending.
The events will have so much time left but itll reset our progress all the time.
We cant open game with internet or with VPN help us.
Its good because when we have anxiety it makes us felt better.
We love this game but we wish cop would patrol and kill the mafia members.
This game is w and easy to play.
We just wish there was more to do and it was more realistic.
Recently became obsessed with this game, but theres a glitch that started today that prevents us from upgrading our locations all at once. So we have to do each individual upgrade over and over again, which is really time consuming because each mission wants us to upgrade them over a thousand times before completing the mission. We closed out and reopened the app, and even restarted our phone. Wont fix it.
Its a fun game but the in game purchases are just simply not worth it. Especially in the events. We just paid $10 in an event to get just as far as everyone else who played for free. The prize shouldnt be the exact same for tier 11-50. Thats a bit ridiculous. Especially since buying anything seriously doesnt even get you ahead. The purchases are not worth it. So Im just gonna play for free from now on and not spend anymore money on itwhich is a shame because we dont MIND spending moneybut it cant be for nothing.
At the start of the game is kind a hard to get money but later on youll get very good at it.
If you want to spend some time wasted. This is a great time waster. Fun. Kind of like the ads.
Best game Ive played in a while,Been playing it for only a month and have gotten very good.
We actually love this game. Easy and just keeps going and no ads unless you choose to watch one.
Its really fun and interesting and intense.
Best F ing game ever u can play for hours and no adds.
