iMobsters is a massively multiplayer online game for the Android platform in which the player controls a mob boss who has to work his way up through the ranks to become as powerful as possible. The game involves playing with other real players to build a community of mobsters, and it includes a number of striking elements that make this game one to remember.

In order to progress through the game, the player will have to complete missions. Once a mission has been completed, the game will present new missions and levels to complete. You can increase the strength of your character by gaining experience, items, and money throughout the game. You can even earn money by fighting other groups, and in some cases you'll win a lot while other fights you'll lose and gain nothing. As you adapt to the world, you'll learn where and when to attack. You can also gain money by investing in buildings that provide a return on the investment.

There are some instances when you'll be required to purchase specific equipment to complete a mission, and the money you earn in the game is more than sufficient. There are in-app purchases to be aware of, but they aren't necessary to complete the game. The in-game currency can also be used to acquire better equipment for fighting.

Using the Mob Page in the game and the included Mob Code, you can find friends and create a group of mobsters to fight against other groups. The Mob Code is unique to each player, and groups can see what their friends are doing in the game at any given time.

The game includes a bank feature that is meant to help players protect their hard-earned cash. If you are attacked, it is possible that money outside the bank could be stolen. Since this app comes from Storm8, the inclusion of the Favor Points system is also prevalent. Players receive Favor Points when they install any of the other games from the Storm8 repertoire, and once the points are awarded, you can instantly uninstall those additional games. Favor Points are used to make purchases that can not be unlocked with any other currency beyond real-world money.

iMobsters has roughly one million active players spread across the globe, but the game is only available in English, which can be a downside for some. The game is technically free since it falls into the freemium category, and a strong internet connection is recommended. Even with a strong connection, it is possible that there will be issues with the game server. Many players have reported points of time where the game would not work at all, some spanning minutes at a time. Beyond that, the game itself is relatively straightforward and easy to understand. Some of the more advanced options are confusing at first, but they quickly become more understandable as the player learns the intricacies of the rest of the game.
