Same old gameplay
The Grand Mafia follows the footsteps of popular
crime game
titles, such as
Mafia City
,
Rise of the Kings
, and
War and Order.
Like the above-mentioned games, your mission in the game is to
expand your crime family
by recruiting members and building your criminal enterprise. It also has the
typical storyline
of betrayal and revenge. There is also a bit of government conspiracy revealed with all the fanfare of discovering a hangnail.
The story chapter is also something you've seen before, starting with a short,
visual novel
-style cut scene. Then, you will receive
five tasks to accomplish
—at least four of them involve building or upgrading something. Periodically, you will also need to
fight a rival gang
, but that's only a fight between low-resolution sprites. There are other activities as well, although most happen off-screen. You can
rob, launder money,
and
hack computers
. All of which only requires
clicking a button
until the bar fills up
.
Aside from
story mode
, there's a
Campaign mode
. Despite the name, it has little to do with the actual story. Here, you can fight rival gangsters by
sending up to five of your named enforcers
. You can collect these enforcers as you play, but you can also purchase them. Each has a unique ability that can help you win battles. Don't be fooled by how cool it sounds, though. This mode’s gameplay consists of
auto-attacking
while you wait for the ability to charge. There’s nothing much that you’ll do.
Disappointing and boring
Overall, The Grand Mafia is a game that
will disappoint fans
of
gangster games
. It follows the game storyline and gameplay that other crime games offer. However, unlike popular titles, there's nothing exciting to see here. How the story plays out is
boring
, and the combat is disappointing. The characters are paper-thin stereotypes and look like they belong on a cover of trashy novels. Moreover, it has a cluttered interface and dated graphics. It is
lazy and unengaging
and is
anything but grand
.
