### 4/5 — Update

*2025-06-19*

Why not re and the game and use the same mechanics just update it with the features that Vikings true north has just with the mafia?

### 4/5 — Only good Mobile game

*2025-03-16*

Only game that can keep me coming back to it & keep playing it on Mobile to be honest. Only think is they have stopped updating it a while ago so there’s no inventory like the new games & the achievements have stopped working for the App Store - in game still works but it doesn’t register on your account anymore. Other than that 10/10 game and really needs new & active players. That, and Only Capo’s & above should be able to claim for Manhatten, but instead any Made guy can (Soldier & above)

Long number fights for ranks makes this game,to leave this game and find other.If that No of fights needed is very high number make this game a little bit laggy

### 1/5 — Game has gone trash

*2020-12-07*

This game used to be so fun loads of players would play all fun and jokes now the game just has big groups never any small group so if you’ve just started a family don’t claim for battle u only get matched with a massive group also needs loads of updates needs inventory back to store things in aswell
