A persistent free-to-play mafia RPG for browsers, iOS, and Android. Rise through 100 crimes across 10 districts, master careers and heists, and compete in ranked PvP.
The Fifth Family: Mafia RPG is a persistent, free-to-play crime RPG available in modern web browsers and through iOS and Android apps. Players begin as a street-level criminal, build four combat stats, work careers, run crimes and heists, trade with other players, and compete for status in a city that continues operating while they are offline.
The game launched on March 29, 2026. On August 11, developer The Fifth Family Limited released Version 2 Phase One, rebuilding or expanding 29 systems after studying five months of live player behaviour. The team has grown from its solo-developed launch to two people. On September 10, 2026, the official site displayed 6,638 registered accounts and 433 players active during the preceding 24 hours.
V2 is a progression overhaul rather than a small content patch. Careers expanded from 8 to 100, crimes from 88 to 100, heists from 11 to 20, Vigilantes from 7 to 95, and Academy courses from 60 to 114. The former 13-room Mansion became an Estate with 28 upgrade nodes, 280 levels, and 8 wings.
The update also introduced the Forge, 30 equipment set bonuses, and Syndicates. Existing systems received much larger progression tracks, including 224 four-tier achievement lines, 189 Bloodline perks, 40 rackets, 20 properties, and 30 Family upgrade lanes. Players can review the complete rules in the official game manual and the launch changes in the V2 Phase One patch notes.
Four regenerating resources pace activity. Vitality is health and falls after injuries or lost fights. Energy pays for Gym training and career shifts. Nerve is spent on crimes, heists, and racket extortion. Stamina fuels PvP attacks, boss fights, Street Intel, and street racing.
The separation matters because no single activity consumes everything. A useful session can combine Gym training, crime attempts, PvP, and a heist while longer systems such as careers, properties, rackets, and Estate construction keep progressing between visits.
V2 contains 100 crimes: 10 in each of 10 city districts, with five capstone jobs per district. Crimes cost Nerve and award cash and XP on success, while failures can lead to jail. Every crime has its own mastery path and loot table. Successful jobs also build Heat, increasing cash rewards but reducing success odds and extending jail time; at 90 Heat, new crimes are blocked until it cools.
District access follows boss progression rather than character level alone. Master all ten crimes in the current district to challenge its boss, then defeat that boss to open the next area. Individual crimes still have level requirements, so players must advance both their character and district mastery.
Character power is defined by Strength, Defence, Agility, and Dexterity. The Gym provides ten activity tiers for each stat, or 40 activities in total. Higher tiers cost more Energy and cash but produce larger gains; unlocking them requires both repeated training at the previous tier and a sufficient base stat.
PvP fights cost Stamina and resolve from character stats, equipment, and combat checks rather than direct action controls. Each battle can run for up to 20 rounds, checking first strike, dodge, block, and critical hits. That makes preparation, stat distribution, gear, pets, and permanent perks more important than reflexes.
The rebuilt Arena runs as a seven-day ranked PvP season. A player’s loadout locks on entry for the full season. Each day offers up to six pages of opponents; a page contains four real players near the entrant’s points total and one scaled boss, each with a visible bounty.
Season rewards go to the top 100 and can include cash, Mafia Gold, crates, and consumables, while first place receives the Champion’s Belt. Because equipment is frozen at entry, Arena success depends on preparing a coherent build before committing it.
There are 100 careers, 20 aligned with each of the five criminal families. Career shifts provide cover income and progress through five ranks. The first four ranks unlock permanent passive perks, while Master rank awards an exclusive item. Overtime becomes available from Rank 2, exchanging more Energy and some risk for increased pay.
Achievements now span 224 lines with four claimable tiers each and 26 category capstones. Estate development adds another long-term track: 28 nodes across Finance, Gym, Spa, Logistics, Medical, Armory, Kennel, and Security wings improve regeneration, combat, heists, banking, training, pets, and other systems.
Players align with one of five underworld factions. Iron River Syndicate favours Strength, the Society for Balance & Prosperity favours Defence, Kito-gumi favours Dexterity, the Viola Family favours Agility, and Volkskaya offers a balanced path. This choice gives each side a distinct starting identity while Family progression, upgrades, and missions add a social layer beyond individual stats.
The 20 heists unlock at ten-level intervals from level 10 through 200 and contain 110 stages in total. Each run costs Nerve and lasts from three to seven stages. After a successful stage, the player can cash out safely or continue for a larger reward at greater risk.
A failed stage wipes the entire run and sends the player to jail. A full clear guarantees Mafia Gold and adds a 50% loot roll, while an early cash-out keeps only the accumulated cash. Players receive six starts per day with a ten-minute cooldown, making the decision to bank or push central to the system.
The Forge can enhance 668 eligible items through ten published ranks up to +10. Thirty equipment sets, containing 210 pieces overall, add bonuses for matching gear. Five crate tiers publish their reward odds and can be opened with Platinum or earned Mafia Gold.
Syndicate missions track ordinary play and pay cash, XP, Mafia Gold, Family Favor, Battle Pass XP, or Platinum. Street Intel now has 240 scenario templates, ten reward bands, mastery trees, and five capstone abilities. V2 also expanded the Vigilantes roster to 95 and Street Racing to 15 races with a nine-phase minigame and 175-part Chop Shop economy.
Cash comes from systems such as crimes, careers, properties, rackets, heists, and smuggling. Mafia Gold is a premium earnable currency available through play, including PvP wins, bosses, heist clears, Crime Vaults, Syndicate missions, and selling loot to the Fence. Platinum is purchased with real money and is used for the Platinum Store, crates, Gym speed-ups, and additional Wheel spins.
The Battle Pass normally runs for four weeks and has a free reward track plus paid upgrades. Missions and regular play award Battle Points. Rewards can include currencies, crates, alignment shards, and season items, so players who care about spending advantages should review the current pass, membership benefits, and crate odds before buying.
Yes. Browser and mobile access are free, and Mafia Gold can be earned through gameplay. Optional purchases include Platinum, membership benefits, crates, and paid Battle Pass tiers.
