The Godfather: Five Families

The Godfather: Five Families is a browser based strategy game set ten years before the events in the original Godfather movie. The Five Families are engaged in a vicious battle to control New York, and will stop at nothing to win. Your task is to join one of the Five Families, and put together an organization fit to rule the city. Expect to intimidate and control your neighborhood, equip yourself with the best weapons, skill and other armaments money can buy, defeat any opposition from the other families, and protect your own, all in the name of becoming the Godfather.

 

Features

Browser based Strategy: Start as a head of a lesser family, and work your way to the top.

 

Resource System: Gather cash, food, cement and steel to fund your criminal empire. Build Cement and Steel mills and restaurants in order to develop these resources you will need in order to thrive in the game.

 

Mansion: Your home is not only for looks, but is your strategic hub. Observe your empire, plan your offensive and defensive measures, hire goons and professionals to do your dirty work, and protect yourself from the attacks of other families.

 

PvE and PvP Gameplay: Accept missions from NPCs, assault NPC gangs for equipment and resources, and expand your territory. Prepare your forces against rival players that want your goods, your land, or your life.
