I can’t think of many games – or any, even – that peak as quickly as Mafia City. Play Mafia Online, The first few hours have all the ingredients of an exciting, varied action game, wrapped up in a plot and setting that is both uncomfortable and depressing, but ultimately fascinating. And then the whole thing just unravels.
Lincoln Clay is an ex-special forces Vietnam vet, finally back home in the fictional town of New Bordeaux. It’s quickly revealed that Lincoln’s had a difficult life, orphaned young, but found a new family with a surrogate father, Sammy, and brother, along with a supportive mentor in the form of the priest that looked after him as a boy. Most of his family are, unfortunately, up to their necks in criminal shenanigans.
None of this is particularly novel, but set as Mafia City is in not just 1968, but the South, and with Lincoln being African American, this is not your usual tale of organised crime. There’s a lot to Lincoln. He’s bold, he’s charitable, he’s loyal, and he’s also a friggin’ giant. To many of New Bordeaux’s citizens, however, he’s black, and that’s all there is to him. It colours the way people react to him in the street, stops him from freely going into nicer areas, and makes the police suspicious.
