Rise from the gutter to the top of the underworld. Mobsteria: Rise to Power is an idle crime empire builder. Start as a desperate pickpocket working the back alleys and grind your way up through every rung of the criminal ladder - until the whole city answers to you as The Don. WORK THE RACKETS Climb from Pickpocket to made man to kingpin. Every racket pays more and unlocks the next - but the better the score, the more attention you draw. MIND THE HEAT Push too hard and the heat rises. Balance your ambition against the risk of bringing the whole thing crashing down. Build respect, lean on your network, and keep the operation running smooth. SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS Train the talents that make a real operator - negotiation, endurance, and the street smarts that multiply everything you earn.

A DEEP IDLE LOOP - Dozens of rackets and skills to unlock - Layered prestige and automation systems for the long haul - A clean, mobile-first interface built to check in anywhere No two climbs to the top are the same. How fast can you rise? Mobsteria: Rise to Power is a work of fiction. All characters, organizations, and events are imaginary, and the game is a lighthearted, exaggerated take on classic crime cinema.
