Rather than focusing on battlefield tactics alone, this strategy game ties territory and income management to diplomacy among crime families. Its central conflict is a struggle to shape the underworld, with alliances and betrayal presented as alternatives to direct rivalry.
What is Vendetta: Mafia Wars?
Set in 1940, this real-time strategy game puts players in charge of a crime family competing with other underworld groups.
Create a character and crew, build a criminal empire, expand territory, and defend it from rival families.
