So far pretty bad. It won't let me put my skill points where I want, its saying I don't have enough money to get a item that I have way more than enough for which sends me to buy a building for income, which also this game does a lot where it forces you around the diffrent menus with its cringe dialog. A few days in its still forcing me around menus making me have to go back to do what I was trying to do. Uninstalling.
Not recommended Feb 15, 2026
I don't recommend Downtown Mafia: Gang Wars because the energy is used up quickly after doing a few things, like missions and fighting. In-game currency is also used up quickly since the game functions request you to buy equipment. UNLESS you spend real money. The overall game play is dumb.
