Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app

Mafia Clicker: City Builder is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free.

There's only a superficial "game" here. Like many mobile scams, the game revolves around currency, in this case you increase the currency by buying buildings which then give you cash (so you can buy more). It's not a clicker (wow, false advertising from a mobile scammer, who would have thought that possible!) instead you really do just idle and wait, so you can buy more...

It's just a veneer wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop.

The true purpose of this mobile app is to get you to hand your credit card details to the greedy mobile devs so you can buy stuff in the nasty cash shop and escape the Samsara of playing this godawful mobile app... it's a mobile app cash harvester, and has no place in your game library.

Even after that, this is still only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for $11 USD worth of "donation" DLC for this as you're expected to buy some extra DLC packages from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks.

Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 10 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away.

Bearing in mind that free games don't add 1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?

Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
