### 2/5 — Not too bad

*2025-12-13, version 3.107.1*

Could use work but is fun to play

### 5/5 — Remind me of Mafia Wars used to be on Facebook

*2025-12-05*

I loved the old mafia wars back in the day on Facebook before they removed it, it was not until this past week that I found this by asking chat gpt where I could find a game that was comparable, this is it! YES!!

### 5/5 — Just love this game

*2025-11-12, version 3.105.0*

Best game on the app store rn. Its just like the old facebook game mafia wars. After they closed down FB games like Mafia Wars by zynga and others of the likeness i was so mad. Loosing all my game data. But the game fills the void in my previously empty soul

### 5/5 — Wonderful so far

*2025-10-03*

Always loved torn, since they removed the app I have been looking for another like it. And this is pretty close. Look forward to what’s to come as I get much higher levels.

*2025-07-23, version 3.97.0*

Play this game every day and never stopped playing it since. This is the closest u are going to get to mafia wars if not way better then mafia wars with facebook friends as well. I love it!

### 5/5 — Good customer services

*2025-07-20*

It’s a great game the social interaction is brilliant. The admins do their best to help us. I wouldn’t have their job for all the tea in china. They help us and put up with some very competitive players.

### 2/5 — It's ok

*2025-04-05, version 3.94.0*

Not anything what I was expecting. The preview is pretty misleading. It gets repetitive pretty quick and I only played till the ninth level which I got there in maybe five minutes so it's pretty easy and very repetitive.

### 5/5 — Great game please add me

*2025-03-11*

9ACD8C is my code please add to your mob, just got the game this week level 118 and climbing!

### 4/5 — Fun but

*2025-03-02*

I've been playing this for years, so in general it is pretty good. There are some issues with the game though that seem like they should not be as long-lived. For example, I play on my phone and it is impossible for me to get bonuses - not a big deal in the big picture, but still aggravating because it wasn't a problem before (a year or two back). 
Also, you have the option of inviting people take part in some of your activities, but if you don't know "Caustic's real name (for example) there is no way to invite them to your event.

**Developer response:** Hello Alcade, firstly thanks for playing our game for years and supporting our independant company! If you are running into an issue (through the latest version of the mobile app) claiming rewards or a bonus link, please let us know! We can look further into this and absolutely resolve it for you

In regards to inviting people, let us know what events and features you are inviting friends to participate in! We're always open to player feedback and would love to hear more about your experience with Mob Wars: LCN (and how we can improve it) - Email us at support@kanoapps.com any time!

### 5/5 — Monster mobster

*2025-01-03, version 3.87.0*

Game is fun.  Crime really never pays, lol.   25 😭💕😳👀❤️‍🔥🚑🚓

### 5/5 — Upgrade

*2025-01-02*

In one of the future upgrade would we be able to purchase more than 10 properties at a time like we can for our stockpile up to 100. Thank you

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing Jonathan! That is an interesting suggestion, thanks for sharing it. We will share it with the team and please continue to bring your feedback forward to us.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-07-26, version 3.132.0*

Starts out promising but advance a little and fight lists are always empty.  What’s the point then of a fighting game with nobody to fight?  I double checked and my skirmish was on so ….  Still a fighting game with not enough fighting .  If supposedly a million people play it,  why are there only 3.9k reviews?????

### 1/5 — Updates for links

*2026-04-29*

Taipan is god king of battle royal you gotta recognise biatches

**Developer response:** Hey Taipan King of BR, thanks for giving us some extra stars! We're sorry you missed some of the rewards, if you ever have issues like not being able to claim your rewards you can reach out to us at mobwarslcn.support@kanoapps.com and we would love to help out.  All the best.

### 1/5 — Can’t complete tutorial

*2025-12-08, version 3.107.0*

I can’t even make it through the tutorial I get through the second fight then it gives me favor coins the screen dims and I can’t hit any buttons wanted to try it but unplayable

### 1/5 — False advertisement

*2025-11-27, version 3.106.0*

Makes you install and play 3rd party apps in exchange for in game token. Then it doesn’t deliver with the tokens.

### 1/5 — Scam likely

*2025-11-25, version 3.106.0*

They link websites that they have not vetted and don’t have any control over directly in the app, which could lead to players getting their info stolen. I think it’s mostly a malware app that steals your data to sell or use for their gain. Hopefully they can improve their game to not be run off fraudulent micro transactions.

### 1/5 — Broken On Mobile

*2025-08-12*

Game broke 5 minutes into a tutorial, I’m stuck on the game battle pass screen and nothing works, I’ve uninstalled the game, closed and reopened but continuously crashing at that page once I open the app rendering it playable, I’m a new player I’ve lost my referal bonus and my name that I chose to be my account

**Developer response:** Hi |BrwnY - that definitely sounds like an unintentional bug. Did you just start the game and create your Mob Wars character? We're more than happy to help - our Support team is available any time at support@kanoapps.com and we can ensure everything is working / resolve any bugs you've run into. - This shouldn't affect your referral bonus (if you were referred by someone else) and we can easily help with renaming your character as well!

Please reach out via e-mail and provide more context and we can help. We look forward to hearing from you and imporving your experience / hopefully your rating. We can get you into the game!

### 1/5 — Took my $$ and deleted my account

*2025-07-13*

The game (just started yesterday) takes money to build up strength faster. I have spent all day yesterday and today plus $25 building it up, for the game to just take my time and money and log off and force me to start over again from level zero after reaching level 101. Unbelievable! I’ve never spent money on any game before and I choose a scammer game to play??? Shame on me!

**Developer response:** Olivia, we are very sorry to hear you didn't have a great first experience with Mob Wars: LCN. We can absolutely 100% help. Have you reached out to our support team? They are always available via support@kanoapps.com to help answer any questions.

You built up your original character, but don't fret, your character account 100% still exists. Everyone's character progress is tied to their log-in method. Were you playing and the game logged you out in the middle of gameplay? - Your Level 101 definitely still exists, you just need to log-in with the original login method.

It's possible you logged into our second Server and a new character was created. It's not a problem to help get you back to your original account! E-mail us at support@kanoapps.com so that we can help - and improve your experience.

We're always available.

### 1/5 — Game Bugged Out Can’t Play

*2025-06-27, version 3.95.2*

I made it to the share your code part of the tutorial and the screen is greyed out and I can’t click anything.  Reinstalled with no luck.  Just can’t do anything at all.

### 1/5 — It’s Ok

*2025-03-09*

Mob invites didnt come right away even after posting recruit messages every day. 

Suddenly out of no where they all came at once (might have to do with a bug where my name and level didnt update for like 2 weeks when posting). I was ecstatic! I accepted all the invites. 

I had no problem reaching max free recruits but they are all level 3-5 accounts with no activity. 

But now I have a mob full of inactive accounts.. I’ve been attempting to replace them with active players. the filtering system to try and sort by level only goes one way so you have to scroll at the way to the bottom to find the accounts. Purging them has been a pain. 

Additionally, when I accept invites now I make sure the account meets a certain level threshold. The issue is in the invites panel, you must check each account individually. It does not natively show you the level on the invites screen. After checking the level, when closing the player profile it will shoot you back to the Home Screen…… now you have to click back to the invites page. It’s super frustrating and time consuming. I’ve spent less time playing the game and more time trying to sort through my invites.

The text channels are full of bots saying random gibberish or Arabic. All new accounts.

**Developer response:** Hello Kyo, very fair feedback. Thank you for reaching out to us and taking the time to leave your review here. We can understand how that situation would be frustrating (specifically with the delay of the mob invites, there was likely a rush of brand new accounts that added you). We can certainly take steps to improve both the invite flow and the invites screen / panel. These are some great insights and suggestions. We appreciate you giving us more context into your experience with the game and we definitely want to to improve this for you. Please e-mail us at support@kanoapps.com and let us know how else we can improve your experience and rating. We're always available!

### 1/5 — Only after money

*2024-11-20, version 3.83.0*

Terrible game with minimal app support. They remove any good parts of the game and keep pushing the pay to play aspect. Deleted.

### 5/5 — Mafia wars x original gangstaz

*2026-08-09*

I spent 10 years searching original gangstaz and mafia wars. In hope that they relaunched either. I only just found this game recently and it brings back long lost memories. Hands down the best text-based/social MMORPG with strategy and PvP elements game available. Please don’t shut down servers

**Developer response:** Wow, what a terrific review! Thank you so much PhilThaPain, we are very grateful for your comments and rating. We've been going for 18 years and have no plans to go anywhere anytime soon. Please reach out at support@kanoapps.com if you have any questions or feedback. We hope you have a great day.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-26, version 3.129.0*

The game is engaging, however they could give better updates/notice of events and sales

But I do have to admit it is very engaging ether way and entertaining

### 5/5 — Missed opportunity of a classic

*2026-04-26*

Should of played this game from the beginning instead of DTM 5 years ago but hey at least this game has a cap limit on how many mobsters to add unlike using gold to buy thousands and it really is skill based to a point to where you can do the math and have a decent amount of power

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5-star review and recommendation of our classic Mafia-themed multiplayer online RPG, we're very glad you have found our game and are having a ton of fun so far! Really happy to hear that it's been great - we run special events weekly & monthly and this Thursday we're launching the Raid Vault Breaker event - We also go LIVE on the official Facebook YouTube channels for a big giveaway livestream (every month).

Our next one is Thursday April 30th at 12PM Pacific

### 5/5 — Options

*2026-03-12, version 3.120.0*

Everybody has a choice to do stocks but in this game stocks are for the lames

### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2026-02-22, version 3.117.0*

Feels just like the old mobster game I love it

### 5/5 — Facebook Equivalent

*2026-02-13*

Very similar to early Facebook games Mafia City. No Ads, and no real restrictions on leveling. You replenish energy and stamina to continue fighting mobs and doing missions. They replenish every level and you level as fast as you want to play. 

You can really put 10 seconds of effort at a time or a full hour if you want to, and there’s no real drawback of going slow or going fast through the game. 

I’m not at the end game content so I do not know how steep the leveling curve is and if the game/devs prioritize P2W revenue based strategies for late game content.

**Developer response:** Sa'mo thank you for the amazing 5-star review & rating of our online multiplayer Mafia RPG, Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra. We're glad it's giving you nostalgic vibes and that you are having fun with the progression (and building the ultimate Mobster / Mafia Syndicate) Good luck in the current Syndicate Quests event that launched this morning for all our players!
