Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
So listen Mmk this game is the most fun Ive had since identity v. The players can be toxic or stupid at times but its still fun to play.now heres a change that will make winning as maf ( hard for newer players rn) is for helper to auto meet night 3 if helper is dead itll then show what player helper was and who. But make this a T4 skill pls. Call it Remorse ( if you do take our idea-) but yeah we love the general idea we love the art we hate rep ( lol) and we love thief.
Its a pretty fun game but there are many toxic ppl in many of the games. Plus the game crashes many times while playing a round. We wouldnt download again or recommend but you can give it a try.
Pretty nice game keeps us all entertained.
Us after getting a hacker gem just to never be hacker agian.
This game is awesome. We thought Id try it for once, but now Im obsessed.
Im new to the game we have no idea how to play it its so confusing.
We got suspended for slurring out someone who threatened to r**e us and told us to off ourselves. This game is amazing but a little pay to win 8/10 due to P2W aspect.
The game is great but the managers are horrible and especially for the streamers its impossible to met their standards to be a streamer on TikTok they ask for 50k views but the whole server is below that also they dont answer players we hope they fix it and put a fair chance at being a streamer for the game.
We used to play this a long time ago and we quit cuz it was too toxic and we lost the love to play because of those toxic weird people. There should be a newer version of this game that doesnt have that much roles because to us its confusing and maybe there should be like an interaction an interaction part of the game where you can see like the scenery or other characters we feel like itll be fun if the game developers tried that we remember they tried something like that before and it was fun even if it was kinda confusing.
Its amazing !! We love it and its super fun. Yeah you lag sometimes and get kicked out of the room and not all events are fun but the game, the art, EVERYTHING IS A 10/10.
We love this game it's fun but now it has too many toxic players that ruin the game by being racist or even talking about being a p3do. They also make games asking to trade naked pictures. There should be INGAME reporting because nothing is being done. You literally have to email them with screenshots and sometimes nothing even happens. There's gr00mers on this app and racists. This needs to be fixed. We want to play a game without someone calling us a slur.
Some times we have good experiences, and sometimes we wish we could breath fire to burn alive all those whos screwed us.
Its a good game, but since Im new to the game, we found it pretty confusing, even after we read the wiki for a bit. It takes a while to get used to, but after you know the basics, its very fun.
There is nothing bad with this game it just the fact that we cant play with our korean friends.
It has everything you need in a murder mystery game and the new update is amazing too! Thanks a lot for yalls amazing game.
This is a game of pure intuition and skill. If you like murder mystery games, we would absolutely recommend giving this one a try. The English servers activity is usually the highest around 7:00 AM EST. The Korean servers are nearly always active, though. Theyre a lot bigger, too.
We cant play any game or look in the global chat without SLURS EVERYWHERE. FIX IT.
Slow full of bugs no rank rewards , they ban you without any warning or reason we contact them many times to ask them why and they never replied not worth the money we spent on this thing.
True its new idea but the needs a lots of work theres many people insulting each others or running the game it honestly doesnt make us wanna play the game anymore not to mention the delay of events rewards and btw even if you report someone for insulting they take forever to do something , not worth our money im out.
The only part that irks us are the ads. If you want to watch ads for anything, theyll pop up, and then you cant exit out of them when youre done. You have to close the app to get out of them. You dont get the reward either even though youve watched the ad. The entire thing. And its annoying. So annoying.
Game used to be fun until toxic whales bullied us and we get banned for fighting back against them. MintKat is a horrible person who defends bullies and we have a lot of evidence of this. If you need proof of it, just let us know.
It was great when it first came out but now its just dq rooms, u should only allow classic n duel mode then have a count down that resets if someone else joins. Keep the start button just in case tho and pls for the love of god give ppl penalties for leaving.
Just as above. There are app updates of 900+mb every other day.
- Toxic players 2. Useless upgrades 3. Ban players for stupid things 4. Never responds to emails 5. Only cares about people who buy items.
This game completely wasted our money with stupid events we bought the most expensive things to upgrade our chances of getting limited skins and it gave us stuff we could buy in the store for way cheaper the 1 channel is fun but dont waste your money in the events its a huge rip off we wasted $30 this game was fun until it completely wasted our money on something we shouldve been guaranteed to get a great item and not some 15 luna megaphone we couldve bought in shop when we wasted about 200 on the deed just to get a megaphone.
We cant get through the tutorial without the game kicking us. Ive tried like 20 times. We have space on our phone it just wont let us play.
Its been a few days since Ive started playing this game. Every time Ive played, the game would either crash, freeze, or bug out. We wouldnt be able to chat, it wouldnt let us vote, and theres nothing we can do about it. When it doesnt do that, its fun to play. Im at the latest updates for iPhone 11, so its compatible for our phone, and we still have 50 gb until all our storage is full, so it shouldnt be acting up. Our internet is at a stable condition too and when its not, we use data, and it still happens. Please fix this.
Ill change it back to a 5 star if they can actually make it where we can log In. We already missed 2 of our daily rewards and we have 89 fame so its a lot. Im also a guild master and we cant even check attendance. If this get resolved Ill change our star to a 5 star. It really is an amazing game and its a lot of fun but we just wanna play.
Every room we go to either the person leaves or we get kicked out. We GOT THE GAME TODAY AND HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO PLAY A GAME. People on here are extremely rude,we dont recommend this game at all. Everything else is fine but the players ruin everything.
We love this game but the last 2 days we try to play and it gives us the opening screen but doesnt load any of the 4 channels. We mostly play novice and it shows loading for about a minute then just stops so we cant play it.
We just cant get into it on iOS now (update:) nvm we got in.
First of all as a game, it would be fun, the idea of the game is good but there is too many things getting on our nerve: 1- uncountable bugs, like a bug kicking us from a ranking game, a bug changing our server by itself, another one turns off our wifi from the settings and more 2- korean server, there is only three servers (usa , korean , arabic), so we play only in usa but you know what? Korean server have things that we dont have , like the rare skins in usa server is buyable in the korean server, they can buy and sell lunas to each other, new roles have been added to the usa server but YOU KNOW WHAT? Korean server had it a year ago, they have more skins, events, and even rewards but usa actually gets NOTHING 3- mafia42 management team, when you wanna report on bug they will take ages to answer, we mean it and then their reply be like sorry for the late reply , we will fix bugs soon but actually nothing is fixed :/ Ive been in this game for a whole year and its the same bugs bro, devs what are you fixing then?, when you send a negative postcard to someone which is a part of the game(only from main account) and this person report you negative pc , you will find yourself suspended :D for two days we guess, BUT when someone sends you negative postcards from his main account and alts(which is illegal) THE DEVS WILL BE LIKE (im sorry we cant suspend the player) + when a problem happens between two players and they report each other or to be clear has Evidences against each other, the mafia42 management team(devs) be like …. Being in one side and telling the other side (we will suspend you without conversation) wow what a great devs, you might think it rarely happens but to be honest, these problems happens in the game ALL THE TIME and devs are not Impartial and fair 4- postcards, for real? Punishments which is (-10) lasts for A WHOLE MONT when surprise which is (+42) lasts only fir 5 days?! This game is really a negative one 5- ranked games, every game has a thing called ranked and it should be only for good players, anyway you will have something called (Rank points) we call it RP usually, imagine having 3500 RP ok? If you lose a ranked game as mafia, you will lose like -70 RP, if you win as mafia you will only get (+51) or something like this, we dont know if that looks fair to you but ITS NOT TOLD YOU ITS A NEGATIVE GAME just dont download, its really reallly bad, Imma delete it :/.
Personally really enjoyed the game, amazing people, great way to play online, although…holiday updates would be cool. Had a bit of trouble trying to download on lap top so if anyone has suggestions for that, please share. Again, amazing game, suggest people who like to shoot, heal, search, investigate, punch, blow up, cult, steal, revive, lynch, report, and etc., to try out the game, lol.
We were playing in Korean server and as a newbie, at the end of the game, we were told from a player there that he/she is gonna harm our family. We were terrified at first and made us thought of choice on this game being totally wide of the mark. We even have the screenshot of the player saying the threat in game. Highly dispaoointed.
Why we cant join in English server.
Overall its a really good game and we enjoy. How can we change it to English and how can we change our age cause Im 15 but it wont let us play rank mode.
Our review may change but only when we can actually play the game! Every time we enter bomb decipher and we start the game we get stuck on one place in the map…we cant move, look for things, or click the buttons on the screens. Im just there. We dont even know if Im supposed to have a character to move around or not! And sometimes it just kicks us back into the chat room, saying we left the chat…we cant type anything when that happens and we have to leave the chat for real. We would really love to actually play the game but at the moment that seems impossible.
