### 1/5 — App crashes

*2026-08-12, version 1.8.378*

I love this game . But the developers need to be careful with their game as they don’t have a way to prevent loss of data . I have been playing since 2020 and every year the game has a bug that erases all of my mail and bookmarked battle reports. And I have to keep starting fresh . The game keeps treating my like a newbie that waste so much of my time.

### 1/5 — BS

*2026-08-05, version 1.8.378*

I met my wife on this game.. It’s been 5 years and we are happily married. I will always play this game and spend my money.. 😂😂 The game is very addictive. The more power you build the stronger you get.. Love this game!!

### 5/5 — Rachet_City

*2026-08-04, version 1.8.378*

I’m new to this city

### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-08-04, version 1.8.378*

Mafia City is honestly just boring. The whole game feels like upgrading something, waiting days for it to finish, then upgrading the next thing. It’s basically a waiting simulator with a bunch of pop-ups trying to get you to spend money. There’s not much actual entertainment — just a long grind with a price tag attached.

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-08-02, version 1.8.378*

It’s one of the best mobile games out there. the fact they spoil you from the very beginning makes me want to spend money to support them. PVP is phenomenal it may be slow for new cities but when more people show up it starts popping off! Very very interactive

### 4/5 — Hey just a favor to ask

*2026-08-02, version 1.8.378*

Can you make this game live like gta come on I know you can do it

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-08-01, version 1.8.378*

### 5/5 — Fun game
