Short description: 2018 video game


Mafia City is a mobile game from Chinese developer Yotta Games.[1] The gameplay involves constructing and levelling up buildings.[2]

In August 2018 an advert for the game in which players were given the option to either "torture" or "finish" a female hostage was removed from Facebook and YouTube.[3][4] The adverts are not representative of the gameplay.[5][6]

The app was banned in India (along with other Chinese apps) on 2 September 2020 by the government, the move came amid the 2020 China-India skirmish.[7][8]

Reception

Upon its release, Mafia City spawned multiple advertisements alongside receiving a mixed reception from critics.[citation needed]
