Insane Looking Fake Facebook Games
Mafia City
Mafia City has the funniest trailers on Facebook ever. Whoever is responsible for its videos deserves to earn more than the CEO of EA, if only because Mafia City’s ads have spawned so many memes.
Mafia City is your run-of-the-mill Game of War clone. The mobile market is swarming with these games, and they’re nothing more than Game of War with a different paint job.
Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire, the upcoming Warhammer: Chaos and Conquest, and Mafia City are the same boring simulator titles where players manage a kingdom, fend of invaders, and that’s it. However, if you judged Mafia City by its trailers, you would assume it’s more batshit insane than Katamari Damacy.
Mafia City’s advertisements are pure, concentrated, digital ADD. In one trailer, a man throws money on the ground to spawn a shack and then tosses AK-47s at the shack until it transforms into an art deco house. Another trailer features a prisoner opening an unlocked prison cell, jumping into a trash bin, and being wheeled out the prison’s entrance (which is five feet away and completely unguarded) by an oblivious guard, all of which somehow transforms the prisoner into a mafia boss.
While most of Mafia City’s trailers show off pure insanity, some are different game genres.
For example, one trailer paints the game like a card-based RPG where players summon random thugs and guard dogs Yu-Gi-Oh! style, and more than a few videos display characters trying to make tough decisions as if Mafia City is supposed to be Scarface: A Telltale Games Series.
Mafia City’s ads are pure anarchy, which is ironic since many sport the tagline “That’s How Mafia Works.” If you really want to know how the mafia actually works, go watch The Godfather.
