If you remember the original Crime City mobile mafia RPG, Mob Wars: LCN offers another way to build a criminal character through Jobs, property income and rival battles. This guide refers to the Funzio game later associated with GREE and DECA, rather than newer games that happen to use a similar name.
Which Crime City do you remember?
The original mobile Crime City promoted Jobs, real estate, weapons and cars alongside fighting and robbing other players. Its name appeared under different publisher branding over the years, which can make an old game difficult to identify in search results.
If those are the activities you remember, focus on them when choosing your next game. A familiar title or a crime-themed icon does not guarantee the same kind of character development.
What will feel familiar in LCN?
- Jobs: complete activities for cash and experience as your character develops.
- Properties: build regular income to help support your progress.
- Equipment: collect weapons, armour and vehicles for your mob.
- Competition: try Fights against other players and explore the Hitlist.
- A group: find a Syndicate to learn with and compete alongside.
These similarities make LCN worth examining, but it is a separate game. Its interface, fight rules, equipment selection and group activities should be learned on their own terms.
Properties support your mob, rather than recreating your old city
If you liked turning a weak account into one with better income, start by learning how LCN properties work. They earn regular cash, while Jobs give you another source of money and experience.
Do not expect your old Crime City layout or purchases to appear. You are developing a new mobster, and the property system belongs to that new account. Our LCN properties and equipment guide explains what to look at as you grow.
How to judge the battles
Try an available Fight after following the tutorial. Read the result before deciding what to improve. Your personal skills, loadout and mob’s equipment all matter, so a loss is a reason to review your strength rather than repeat the same attack without checking.
The battle guide covers those checks. You can also explore bosses as you learn the different ways to use your resources.
Can you bring a Crime City account into LCN?
No. LCN does not restore a Crime City character, items or purchases. Follow its tutorial with a new account and see whether its Jobs, income and rivalries give you what you enjoyed in your previous game.
You can play in your desktop browser with no download needed, or use the app on iPhone or Android. Start with a few Jobs and inspect the equipment you collect before committing to a particular direction.
