Idle Mafia 17+

Love the game, one issue

There’s a lot of stuff to do to keep you busy, they update regularly, the GUI is easy to navigate, there’s usually good sales, the events are fun, they make unlock-able costumes that you have to earn, and feel accomplished for doing so, there’s mini games in the game that are actually like the ads for the game. The list goes on why I like this game. I have one very minor problem though. As a leader of a gang that uses a lot of chat I find it hard to communicate with my team because of the character limit. I’m pretty sure my team feels the same way when they have to scroll through the many messages, like in cases like when trying to explain strats during wars, or things to members that are new to the game. I end up sending so many messages, for example the other day: Sending like 4 maxed out messages to explain something to a player that started when the game came out, and is getting back into it now because there’s been so many changes. It’s doable, and only a minor inconvenience. It’d be awesome to remove, or raise it even more than you did in the past, though. And maybe add that read more button so we don’t have to scroll for ever to get past the message.

Love the Game, But Not the Latest Events

I have been playing for a little over three months now, and have enjoyed the game enough to subscribe to the $5 monthly membership. I enjoy the grind, the gang activities, and seeing my power levels rise relatively quickly, and I always look forward to the weekend and weekly events. The weekend events can get pretty time intensive, but the weekly events are usually pretty fun, change things up a bit, and are over without too much sustained attention throughout the week. One of the things I like about this game is I don’t have to be on the game constantly to achieve peak progress and can focus on work, my family, and other leisure activities while still feeling like a relatively top-performing player.

Lately, however, the events (two of the last weekly events and the next scheduled one) have been bad spin-offs of the weekend events. You cannot achieve even all of the standard rewards without spending diamonds or $$$ on them (normally premium rewards are available for a cost), even with the membership. Normally there is no problem getting all the standard rewards, but these new events are time-intensive during the week and require microtransactions to complete. This is a severe detriment to my game experience.

This review would return to a 5 star review if traditionally weekend events are not used in place of the weekly events.

I like the game but…

I’ve been playing for a while now, and I do like the game. I guess you could say I’m a regular. Why is it so hard to earn loot such as gaining more capos? When you reach around rank 23-25, game drastically slows down and your forced to invest money into the game because you can’t upgrade legendary capos anymore and it’s just too tough to even come across legendary shards or legendary capos. What if you don’t have the money to invest in the game? I understand the game needs to stay afloat and what not. However you come into the game and earn legendary capos at a rapid pace then get shut down and have to start spending money. I feel like the only thing that should be difficult to earn is the mythical capos, but even at that there should be more of those shards and we should certainly see a lot more earning of legendary capos, legendary capo cards, and legendary capo shards as they are in the game from the very beginning. If people don’t want to spend money on the game and or don’t have said money, then you’ll lose that percentage of players because you win and level up so quick then get slapped with disappointment when you can’t level up anymore because you don’t come across the things you need to do so. I’ll continue to play but it’s gotten a tad bit ridiculous at this point. Pleeeeeaaase may we see more legendary loot? :)
