They buy up all the bullets and credits at the auction house and block lower level players from really getting ahead in any way. And not being able to play on the same wifi as your friends is really stupid. The game could be really fun, but everything costs too much and it takes too long to get enough bullets or cash to really protect yourself against the lifers who have nothing better to do than make the new players miserable. Sorry, Mike, but I gotta be real! ### 2/5 — Bad Policies *2025-10-25* 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. Don’t make the mistake. Tell your friends not to use your WiFi. Real Pooh policy. ### 2/5 — Controlled by toxic kids and basement dwellers *2025-09-04* This game was fun and addictive the first few rounds. It got very repetitive but showed great promise. I 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. It’s easy to get money and bullets so no complaint there. Other than your spontaneous bullying of other players the game is half decent. I don’t think I will ever redownload the game. Or spend any more money on it. I hope the developers and in game managers read this, but then again, most reviews that are bad go unnoticed. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2025-08-30* I love the game only thing I’d 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 don’t have it to speed the start process up ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-05-27* This game is super fun and addictive but I don’t really have ppl to play the heists with and no one joins mine/starts theirs when anyone joins, can you maybe add some solo heists please? Overall an amazing game and I love playing, just adding some recommendations for the people who have no one to play with👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and thank you for your valuable feedback! We will see what can be done to improve the experience for solo players searching for Heist teammates. There’s an interface refresh coming to the Public tab soon which should at least make finding and joining heists a better experience. ### 5/5 — Yes *2025-05-19* ODiN here! Been loving the progress this game has made, Mike. It’s come a very long way since the start. Looking forward to what the future holds! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review, we really appreciate it 🙏 It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the game, positive reviews like yours help to keep us motivated.

Thanks once again, we really appreciate your support. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-02-02, version 1.12.0* Fun and enjoyable can be addictive but it’s still fun to play ### 5/5 — Ss4lyf *2024-12-03, version 1.11.2* Ss4lyf ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2024-10-06, version 1.10.1* Mike is hero slay 😉 play this game and you’ll never be bored again I dare you to hit 50 before me ### 5/5 — Me han baneado injustamente *2024-08-13, version 1.10.0* El Administrador Español "Machete" no hace su función correctamente y cuando se enfada usa las funciones de administrador para ser hechado del juego en mi caso para siempre ### 4/5 — Gutes Spiel *2024-05-06, version 1.9.0* Es ist ein gutes Spiel, auch wenn es nur in „Textform“ ist. Ich habe schon mehrere Runden gespielt und es macht schon spaß. Natürlich muss man dann auch am besten jeden Tag spielen, um weiter zu kommen. Wenn man im flow ist, ist es schon cool zu spielen. Am Anfang geht zwar nicht so viel, aber sobald man sich was aufbaut, wird es schon mehr spaßig. Auch die Community im Spiel ist für mich unbeschreiblich, aber im guten Sinne. Es wäre auch sehr gut ein Tutorial einzubauen, anstatt auf die Website zu gehen. Oder ein Hinweis dafür. Evtl. ist es nun so, aber als ich angefangen habe (2021), war es nach meiner Erinnerung nicht so. Insgesamt ein cooles Spiel. Man braucht nur etwas Geduld. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — fix *2025-08-08, version 1.13.2* won’t let me start it ### 1/5 — Self Destructive Playerbase *2025-07-16* the game is decent, but the player base is horrendous. completely controlled by the top couple hundred players who will just kill you off once you make any progress regardless of your actions. it makes it impossible to progress, this game is a waste of your time unless you want to spend money. lots of new accounts are made every day, but the retention is terrible due to getting killed off so quickly. ### 1/5 — Dumbest Game Ever *2025-06-11, version 1.13.0* I wouldn’t play this game if I was you! the creator plays it and cheats for his own pleasure. If I could give it a zero stars I would. ### 1/5 — Mala experiencia no la recomiendo *2024-08-13, version 1.10.0* Si superas en: Nivel, balas, dinero y puntos de respeto a un administrador llamado Machete te pude pasar varias cosas que te mutee o te banea del juego. Eso es un abuso de poder y no es justo para los demás usuarios. Me está arruinando la experiencia de ser un Gangster. Pdt:El juego esta bomba pero un administrador te arruina la experiencia. ### 1/5 — I can’t even download the game 😂 *2024-05-09, version 1.9.0* It just says unknown client side error issued I used to play this game for a while my highest lvl was like 40 had my own clan and everything I got killed by a cheater in there but that took like a week to get my account back and by then everyone built up past me and I got killed easy but other than that the game was fire can I get some help on why I can’t download? ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-08-06, version 1.6.5* Don’t download this this games run from people doing real life trading (trading bullets for real life cash) no fair way to play ### 1/5 — Game scams you out of your money *2023-07-20* Mike (the owner) sometimes doesn’t pay out the credits you purchase in the game. It’s been turning horrible lately and he is stealing money on purpose from the game do not pay for credits!!! **Developer response:** This is false. Purchases are delivered automatically. If a purchase isn’t delivered for some reason then a refund is automatically issued. We have hundreds of happy customers. If there’s an issue with any of your purchases, please contact us via Help Requests in the top-right menu or email contact@gangsternation.net and we’d be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Worst admin ever *2023-06-10, version 1.6.3* DO NOT PLAY THIS !! The admin also plays the game and if you shoot him he will permanently ban you and never let you play again I spent £600 on this game and it’s all gone to waste and he isn’t issuing me a refund Don’t be fooled by the reviews - He pays for reviews I expected better and have reported this game to the App Store ### 1/5 — not fun/worth the time *2023-05-09, version 1.6.2* takes to much time to get bullets ### 1/5 — No email coming through *2022-07-25, version 1.4.6* Not get an email to verify ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What the next update should be *2026-06-22, version 1.16.2* You should make it so you can play online or solo so that new players can do solo so they can learn how to kill and get bullets ### 5/5 — So addicting *2026-05-04, version 1.16.1* I love this game but sometimes hate it, I love the freedom and all the gambling and killing I can do in the game and it’s so addicting when I’m grinding and doing good, bur then I die and loose almost everything and stop playing the game for a bit. But then I play again, kind of reminds me of the love and hate I have for the game rust, my only complaint is the boring start to the game and how long some timers be but like it’s not that deep the game is still great! ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-01-10, version 1.15.0* Real life mafia simulator hardcore ### 5/5 — Old skool *2025-11-04, version 1.14.4* Been on his game way before it was made for phones. It is very addictive and community is fun, recmmended ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2025-10-03, version 1.14.2* Was introduced to this game this summer I’ve been hooked ever since! Awesome game! ### 5/5 — Insurance *2025-08-29* I got killed in the game and had insurance but can’t get anything back? **Developer response:** Hey there, thanks for your review! Gangster Nation is played in rounds, each lasting a few months. You can’t claim on Life Insurance from previous rounds. This gives everyone, whether a brand new player or a veteran of 20 years, a fair chance to compete for the top spot of the round. I hope this helps but please do reach out via Help Requests (top right menu) if you have any further questions :) ### 5/5 — Very fun *2025-08-15, version 1.13.2* It’s a very fun game and I’m honestly surprised more aren’t playing ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-07-19, version 1.13.2* Awesome game ### 5/5 — Just great *2025-07-01* This game keeps getting better with every update keep them coming Mike **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review 🙌 We're always working on new updates, we've got some more coming out over the next couple of days – new items, new workshop builds and a new Mission! Thanks once again, we really appreciate your support. ### 5/5 — Fabulous Game *2025-07-01* I love this game and I play it almost every single day, you don’t have to grind to be good but you can. 10/10 game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
