The Brutal Mafia

The Brutal Mafia was a joint venture between a friend and myself. Since I'm more of a graphics person, I ended up designing all the games items (weapons, armour, medkits etc.) myself, and my friend Dan, decided to take care of other fields in the game, coordinating with the coder/scripter, thinking up game ideas, etc.
The Brutal Mafia features a pretty simple gameplay method. For those of you who are new to this genre of gaming, let me just say it can be pretty damn addictive once you get into it. Competition gets stiff from players all over the world and The Brutal Mafia is going to be no less.

Inside the game

So how does it work? To start with, all you need is a standard web-browser. Yes you can log in from your phone browsers too. You don't need single digit ping connections or any such cause these games don't feature moving graphics, so say goodbye to frame rates, lag, reg and any other errors you see on dynamic games such as CS, Halo etc.
Once you have your web browser and standard internet connection, you sign up on the game site like signing up for an email account with a unique username etc. Once you've done that you can login to your game screen which looks like this

Please note, censored bits are only to hide obscenely large amounts of ingame cash and points as the game is in final stages of beta testing.
On the left hand side you’ll notice the main game menu, your inventory, the city you’re in (Brutalia is a staff only city), your bank, the gym (to train and raise your stats), the crime page where you do crimes depending on your level to gain experience to level up. RPG gamers shouldn’t find the learning curve too hard for this game as its basically the same ideologies text based.
When you click on the city you’ll be introduced to a host of various options shown in the screenie below. While most of the sections are self explanatory, the main points to note are the travel options, the airport and train station. Different cities are available to travel to for the price of a ticket and depending on your level. Various cities are unlocked with increasing player levels.
The sections labelled ‘downtown’ and ‘casino’ are places where members can earn points and or cash daily. This is reset every 24 hours and in typical online MMORPG lingo is called ‘dailies’. In Brutal Mafia, one can grow weed, sell weed, get hookers for daily cash, and other various features which you can explore and find out for yourself.

Attacking, Mugging and Wars
The player list shows the players and whether they are online or not. By clicking on a player’s name, one can go into their profile to access further options such as attack, mug, send message, etc.

By attacking a person and defeating them, you send them to the hospital for a limited period of time and if you lose, you end up getting hospitalized yourself. Successful attacks or mugs gain you levelling exp as well as money.

A players profile looks like this

Just some of the weapons available

Gangs can be formed ingame where you can lead or join a gang with your friends to dominate the game, take part in gang wars and a host of other options too!
This short game review was just to introduce you guys to the world of browser based MMORPG’s. If at the end of this, you feel discouraged, I’d suggest you actually try it out and see all the options and gameplay features available and then decide for yourself if you want to continue playing.
We hope to go live with the Brutal Mafia very soon indeed, and signups are increasing by the day just through word of mouth! See you there!
