### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-09-07*

Lots of scam adds popping up from this app

**Developer response:** Hello Boss, thank you for reaching out. The Grand Mafia does not run scam ads within the game. If you could share more details with our in-game GM, or on Facebook (TheGrandMafia) or Discord, we'd be glad to look into it and help you sort it out. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Honesty at its finest

*2026-08-21, version 1.5.263*

Okayyy all in all hellllll nooo. This game gave me the worst headache ever.   I started playing thought ok I can do this then that’s when I realized you aren’t going to get far unless you have a fraction help. There is barely any help to build your buildings !!!! Barely anyone plays unless you are in groups that are in a top 10 biases  good luck every getting into one.   The building takes a very long time !!!! In the beginning sure no big deal. But once you get farther into it takes hours  we aren’t even talking about an hour we’re talking about 16 hours. You have to have a construction speed up. To bring them down. There’s building investment mansions. That take days you want your t4  gooooood luck that takes 11 days !!! There’s ones when it takes 30 days !!!! You are going to waste your freaking life away. From the people inside the game. They will tell you you’re gonna either have a very hard time or spend thousands and thousands of dollars because your fraction group sucks !!!!  I’m not going to pay for that I’ve leveled up by myself and I busted out crying because this is ridiculous!!!!!  I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to get where I need because there are apps out there that conjoined with this app to pay you money to get to current levels. And I did not get anything  I’ve wasted time spent with my family for this. Absolutely heartbreaking !!!!   There isn’t enough help in this game and barely anyone plays at all like I said unless you are in a group that’s top 10 and always active.   The events are the same. So that gets really boring because those top 10’groups take over fast. It’s not exciting   This game really takes a toll on you     And drains your energy fast    You have a really hard time getting gold crates nobody helps you with raids it’s just impossible to get anything.   The rewards are the same. You don’t get high high gold unless you actually pay for it and that’s a lot of money  from what the people in the city chat even said it’s just not worth it   You need over a million gold bars to level up without gaining the reward drops from the task. Because it says days to build. Nobody has time to wait around for a building or investments for days.   There needs to be huge improvements and I’m not going to see that when I lost rewards from an app that I was supposed to get paid from they all expired by the time I finally got to where I needed to be. So my bills aren’t getting paid   From playing this game.  There’s no way you can get to mansion 25 in 7 days  it takes 30 days to build.   You aren’t going to get your reward for the hostage cell or the investment  center or the t4 unlocked everything has to be maxed out at level 25. Alll your buildings have to be maxed level 25.         It’s just isn’t worth it when they put this game on another app to get paid for playing.  Not a happy  player

### 5/5 — The storyline is top

*2026-07-31, version 1.5.227*

This game oversexualizes women. Immediate uninstall. I’m not here for a TNA game. I’m here for games.

### 5/5 — Action

*2026-07-30, version 1.5.227*

Love it lotta of activities and easy to boss up

### 1/5 — Abusive players

*2026-07-29*

New players being overrun by aggressive teams  unfair to tear down a small faction because of bullying demanding large payouts or you die

**Developer response:** Very sorry to hear that, and we would really appreciate it if you could provide us with more details regarding this issue. Perhaps our GMs can help you explore some creative strategies for improving your gameplay. We will try to improve the gaming experience for all our players. If you need any assistance, you may reach us on Facebook or Discord.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-07-24, version 1.5.209*

So I have played this game on for a long time spent lots of time and lots of money on it. got several different factions separate several different levels. One of them, I am leader in one of them. One day I went to your switch over to check my other game. And lost access to both. The picture is me in it, I know the names I know the cities, my leaders names, and nobody will help me. Try to find my fractions. Every time I try to send a form or an email I get silly little responses, but nobody is trying to help. Do not bother with this game. It’s a waste.

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2026-07-22, version 1.5.209*

The cut scenes and dialogue keep it interesting

### 5/5 — TGM Review

*2026-07-20, version 1.5.209*

TGM is doing exceptionally well.
I genuinely enjoy the challenge and building meaningful friendships.
