A little known game, Crime City, from a San Francisco developer Funzio has been quietly making its way up on the list of fastest-growing Facebook games, according to statistics from app data.
Mafia games have been great hits on Facebook and this game follows the ever popular Zynga’s Mafia Wars, with a nice mix of Role Playing Game(RPG), city building , and animated interaction. Crime City lets you deal with business in the old fashion way.
You start out as a rising thug, eager to prove yourself and take care of all your criminal business and enemies, build up your hood, take down other players, and become the richest, most respected, and bad-ass criminal of Crime City.
Jobs in the game can be anything from looting, hold ups, vandalizing to performing hits to taking care of your girlfriends needs. You earn cash and diamonds, and sometimes energy from doing jobs. There are ample amount of goals to complete in different areas. Both the diamonds and cash are needed to buy equipments in the game.
While you are taking rest from dealing with business, you can spend your time turning your hood into a bustling crime city. You can decorate your hood, expand it, and fill it with business buildings to collect cash. There are also special buildings in the game like coffee shop, garage. Special buildings require items to complete. For e.g. you will require a paint to complete building your coffee shop for which you have to ask your mafia members. You also have a resource building – Factory, which generates steel and which will be used along with cash to buy buildings. Some special building like the coffee shop will generate energy instead of cash. The size of your hood will also have a limit on the maximum number of buildings you can have.
As you level up, you can distribute your stat points to attack, defense, or energy skill. Your stats and equips, as well as that of your mafia members will come into play while determining your overall attack and defense, which will come into play as you take on other players, perform Hits on some NPCs or jobs. The store has scores of weapons, armors and vehicles to improve your character’s stat.
The game has all the common social elements like adding friends to your mafia, sending and receiving gifts, sharing bonuses, and helping each other.
All in all, this has got to be one of the best mafia game around on Facebook, because it has got a lot of interactivity. No more clicking on passive tasks. Your character walks around, and you actually get to hear them cocking the gun before performing a hit then bang!, or your baseball bat swinging. I am sure the developers will add more ways getting engaged with the game and friends in coming days.
If you are ready to start dealing with all your illegal business, then head on to the game.
