> **Perhaps you've seen numerous advertisements for a mafia-themed game in which you can become a level 100 mafia boss. Finally, downloading it shows that it is not the game you expected, despite the interesting ads you've seen. I believe most of us have experienced seeing one of these at least once, but Mobland is here to show there can be good Mafia-themed games.**

### What is Mobland?

Mobland is a free-to-earn idle mafia game where players can fight others to expand their territory. Build your empire by minting random Characters for free or purchasing Character card NFTs, however, you must pay for gas fee. It’s now in the BSC Network and will be playable on mobile devices once the alpha begins in Q1 2023.

There are well-known investors like Animoca Brand, Binance NFT, and Spartan in the community, which has 160k members. This demonstrates the efficiency of the marketing campaign as well as the optimism surrounding the game's development.

### Tokenomics and Earnings

There will be just one token: $SYNR. To encourage its use, it serves as both governance and utility. This token's effects will be related, such as increasing the synthetic version ($sSYNR) for in-game & marketplace transactions and $sPOWER for elevating a syndicate leader to the position of a top leader. Normal players have no choice but to join and surrender to a leader since I believe that this feature is only for rich players or huge investors who wish to rule the mafia metaverse.

You can gain $SYNR and assets by taking part in PvE, PvP, and special events. However, that won't happen unless you win. Players will be able to sell products and cosmetics like accessories and land in the market. The fact that players can still earn with their free NFTs even without making a payment makes this game special.

### Gameplay

Characters are important to the gameplay. They will have talents and skills that you will be able to use in battle. Begin by selecting four-character cards to use. This is a 4v4 shootout between your syndicate and others to take control of their assets such as buildings and businesses. It is automatic, and all you have to do is cast your character's special ability once the cooldown lapses. The game will conclude when all of your enemies have perished.

This mechanism will serve as the basis for the mafia organization's growth and expansion. I imagined it to be somewhat similar to GTA where you can go around freely and begin your mafia reign, unfortunately, it's not. However, the graphics and character designs are quite impressive; they can be somewhat comparable to NBA 2k and Elden Ring's character visuals.

### Conclusion

Another Mafia conquest-related uptake is in Mobland. Despite not being the open-world mafia game, you were expecting, this game is still far superior to the mafia advertisement games we’ve all seen. It might have a good impact if it changes from being a game of idleness to one in which the player has full control, but I believe it is good enough to be on people’s P2E watchlist since the community is getting hyped even if the gameplay still has room for improvement.
