### 2/5 — 쓸데없이업뎃을너무마니함

*2026-08-05, version 3.51.3*

잘하던가

### 4/5 — 暴言が酷い

*2026-08-03*

ゲームはとっても面白いのですが、あまりにも民度が悪いです。
暴言や決めつけが酷く、初心者にはもちろん、初心者じゃなくても慣れてない人や久しぶりにプレイした人に対して｢酷すぎる｣｢初心者は出てけ｣｢蹴るぞ｣｢操作方法わかって無さそう｣などの煽りや暴言がよく見られます。見ているだけでも気分が悪いですし、実際に何度も嫌な気持ちになりました。優しい方もたくさんいますし、何よりゲーム自体は面白いのでそこが改善されれば良いなと思います。徹底的にBANして頂きたいです。メッセージを送信する際に暴言は送れないようにするなどして頂けると有難いなと思います。あまりにも酷いです。本当に傷つきました。発言者たちは匿名だからといって何を言ってもいいわけではないことを理解してないのですかね？この問題に関して悩んでる方は多いと思いますし、実際にこれが原因で引退した方も多いです。ただでさえプレイ人口が少ないのに対して文句を言う人が多いのに初心者に酷い態度を取るのはおかしいです。お願いなので徹底的な対策をよろしくお願い致します。

### 1/5 — Mafia42

*2026-07-11*

Subject: Thank you for fixing our gaming addiction / Out of the lobby

Alternative Subject: A sincere thank you from your top grinders

​Dear Mafia42 Development Team,
​We are writing to express our sincere gratitude. For a long time, we were completely addicted to grinding your game—spending hours every day running accounts, building up the community, and keeping your active player metrics high.

​Thanks to your recent hyper-strict enforcement of the account limits, you have successfully cured us. By sweeping away the accounts we used to grind and invest time into, you have freed up a massive amount of our day.

​We are thrilled to inform you that we have finally discovered what the outside world looks like. The sky is remarkably blue, and the texture of real grass is surprisingly pleasant.

​Since your system is designed to limit how much dedicated players can actually play and grind, we’ve decided to take the hint. We are taking a mandatory 1-week break from Mafia42 to enjoy our new outdoor lifestyles. If the game remains this restrictive, we’ll happily extend our vacation indefinitely.

​We've left a 1-star token of our appreciation on the Play Store to reflect our current user experience.

​Happy developing,
[A Recovering Grinder]

### 2/5 — No one to play with because of the toxic community

*2026-07-06, version 3.50.2*

This game is extremely fun, at least back when it first came out, now it’s full of toxic players who won’t play a SINGLE match due to a new player being in the lobby. 

This is what happened:

I opened the game and clicked the “Novice” channel. I played the tutorial and tried to join a match. Unfortunately all games were in a foreign language or they were in a lobby to “talk” (From my understanding there are three lobby types. 1 for classic, 1 for dueling, and 1 for chatting).

Now I haven’t played since the “Judge” class was announced and with prior experience and no lobbies to join I swapped channels. 

I joined an English game with one other player who looked to be in the same situation as me. We had two more players joined who were in the two THOUSANDS of a win/loss ratio. They were trying to kick us out of the lobby so they could use it. They kept on saying that we should go to the “Novice” channel to level up but after explaining why I wasn’t going to do that they just got mad and were holding the room hostage (a bit extreme use of words I know).

After arguing with these two players the host left and I became the room master. The original host joined back immediately so I started a game. 

I got lucky and got the “Mafia” class. I killed one of the toxic players and the other was a cop (ghoul). He tried his best to convince that I was the Mafia but I swayed the doctor’s vote since there was no way he could’ve know I was the Mafia until Night 2. I ended up winning I just proved to them that I can still play the game just as well or even better than them. 

They were mad but I don’t care, lol.

It just makes me upset that new players can’t enjoy this amazing game due to language barriers or the toxic community.

I tried my best to get back into this game but after an entire week with only being able to play TWO games! It just isn’t worth it.

### 1/5 — レビュー見てから

*2026-07-04*

ゲーム自体は悪くないかもしれませんが、プレイヤーの民度があまりにもひどく、楽しめませんでした。

結◯というプレイヤーを筆頭に、一部のプレイヤーによる暴言や嫌がらせが目立ちます。初心者というだけで部屋から蹴られたり、悪口を言われたりすることもあり、気軽に始められる雰囲気ではありませんでした。また、そのプレイヤーはメガホンというゲーム内アイテムを使い、自分が言われたことや他人とのやり取りをわざわざ周囲に広める場面もありました。個人的には、その場だけで済む話まで共有する必要があるのか疑問に感じました。さらに、そのような行為を見ても周囲のプレイヤーは注意せず、見て見ぬふりをしている印象です。

運営へ通報しても対応されることは少なく、対応されたとしても同じような迷惑行為が繰り返されているように感じました。そのため、通報してもあまり意味がないと感じました。

自分はこのゲームを続けたいとは思えませんでした。同じような思いをする人が増えないことを願います。

### 3/5 — 유저 질들이 안 좋습니다

*2026-06-27*

초보 채널에는 유저들이 별로 없어서 초보들이 자유 채널로 오게 되는 경우가 많은데 그럴 때마다 엽보, 승률 등 억까를 당하여 퇴장 당하고 초보들은 겜 자체를 하지 못하게 됩니다. 게다가 종종 트롤들 있는데 패드립이며 도배충 심지어 일베충들도 있는데 그런 유저들을 확실히 걸러내게 해주세요.. 그리고 엽서 주는 거 왜 있는지 모르겠어요.. 가끔 트롤들이 이유없이 마엽, 경엽 주기도 하고요.. 게임 할 때 조사직이며 확주는 이들이 많다보니까 솔직히 맢 걸렸을 때 불리해져서 이긴 적이 거의 없습니다.. 때문에 맢팀 걸리면 중퇴하는 이들도 많아졌어요.. 이 부분만 어떻게 좀 해주세요.. 신규, 초보들은 하지 말라는 건가요..?

### 4/5 — 1000이상 때려붇고 후회중

*2026-06-15*

이게임은 일단은 무과금은 절대로 풀S를 및출수가 없고요 솔직하게 이겜이 재미는 있어요 하지만 과도한 현질유도,핵,티밍,메크로 등등… 아무것도 안막아요 그리고 제 1000이상 때려부운 계정이 핵인거 같다고 신고들어왔는데 그것가지고 삭제당했습니다 너무 억울한것도 있지만 위에 말한것들만 고쳐준다면 1000쯤은 그냥 줄수있죠 :)

### 2/5 — Needs moderation

*2026-04-30*

This game is seriously addicting and amazing. However, if I had to point at the single biggest problem stopping me (and many others,) from loving this game, it’s the lack of moderation for players AND CHANNELS. 

the players can be insanely toxic, with throwing slurs and harassing other players. I genuinely can’t recommend this game (and i don’t know why a public figure would) when so many players from this game are openly throwing slurs, threatening fellow players etc.

Secondly, novice channel has been occupied by segregated game lobbies or chat rooms, for one reason or another (over the various months I’ve observed this game), making it so many new players can’t play in novice. They have to come in channel 1 just to play—which not only makes it hard for them to understand the game, it ruins the experience for veteran players as well. 

I think the second biggest problem is definitely the overwhelming P2W experience;there’s a significant part of winning that’s reliant on cards and rng (which is quite hard to get for F2Ps). After gaining experience, farming for cards is perhaps the main way to improve. In ranked games particularly, games cards do make a worlds difference; with all the high rankers being open big spenders. Even in average/casual high level game play having Tier 4, and Tier 5 cards is important. Making it so new accounts with the high level of skill will struggle hard against old accounts with high level of cards. 

For all those reading my review, while I am quite critical of this game here and for good reason, even with this game’s faults, it quite enjoyable on average.

### 3/5 — Addictive yet a major issue

*2026-04-09*

This game is seriously addictive. Like, you can start playing for "just a few minutes" and suddenly it's three in the morning. The roles are super varied and they actually feel different from each other. The new roles are awesome too.

But… there's one big problem. The community. Without mods or any kind of censorship, people just say whatever they want. And way too often, it turns into homophobia, racism, and sometimes straight-up sexism. It really brings the whole experience down. Therefore, I rated it a three stars instead of five.

Please don’t download this game the devs really don’t care about anything except themselves so save yourself some time

### 1/5 — the worst game ever

*2026-07-11*

the developers don’t care about players and they ban innocent players for around 12 years and not even bothering to ban the actual hackers. many players had got banned from this and they are really disappointed in the poor management of this game.

### 1/5 — Suspension

*2026-07-11, version 3.50.4*

Making a bot to Suspend a whole server to catch a hacker, and guess what? The hacker is still roaming around in the server. Now after suspending the whole server what u gonna do?

### 1/5 — Account getting banned for no reason

*2026-07-11*

I am extremely disappointed with how my account was handled. My account, along with many others, was permanently suspended without any prior warning, explanation, or clear evidence of any rule violation. A 12-year ban is an excessive penalty, especially when no transparent reason has been provided.

I have spent real money on in-game purchases, including packages and the M Pass, expecting fair treatment as a paying player. If accounts are going to be permanently banned without proper communication or a chance to appeal, then players should at least be refunded for the money they have invested.

I genuinely enjoyed this game and became invested in it, but this experience has completely changed my opinion. The lack of transparency, customer support, and fairness is very disappointing. I hope the developers review these bans, provide clear explanations, and treat their players with more respect.

個人によるけど他のプレイヤーとも仲良くなれて交流するのが楽しいって思ってる
運営さんも言えば動いてくれる
イベントだとバグ多くなるんだけどバグを放置しないでメンテしてくれる。
強いて言うなら警告ハガキだけが溜まってく…www
アイテム売却またはカード売却機能とかついてくれないかな…|ू•ω•)ﾁﾗｯ
