- Mafia Mobile is the latest release from IGG, creators of Fate War.
- Build your criminal empire by taking control of the city, then expand your influence worldwide.
- Assemble a team of ruthless capos and launch your own underground franchise.
La Cosa Nostra, "Our Thing," the Mob, Triads, or simply organized crime—the image of sharply dressed kingpins and black-suited enforcers has long captivated popular culture. This fascination extends to mobile gaming, as anyone who recalls Mafia City’s memorable YouTube advertising campaign can attest.
Now, a new contender has entered the scene. IGG, the studio responsible for Fate War, steps into the underworld with Mafia Mobile. The game shares clear similarities with Mafia City, focusing on strategic gameplay where you train capos (your key officers) and launch raids against rival gangs.
Currently available for pre-registration and scheduled to launch in September, Mafia Mobile offers a diverse roster of henchmen to recruit—including Assailants, Bikers, and Gunmen. Each plays a unique role as you grow your criminal operations from a single city to potentially global dominance.
Sleeping with the Fishes
While IGG’s recent title Fate War introduced some fresh twists to the genre, Mafia Mobile appears to tread a little too closely to its inspirations. Combined with certain dated tropes (like "dating hot babes"), the overall vibe feels somewhat out of step with modern sensibilities.
With Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcasing exciting upcoming titles such as Arknights: Endfield, and a steady stream of new games on the way, Mafia Mobile may struggle to stand out—no matter how polished the final product turns out to be.
That said, if you’re feeling ambitious and want to rule your own criminal domain, mobile platforms offer plenty of choices. Explore our top picks for the best strategy games on iOS to find more titles you can dive into right away!
