Torn vs Yakuza 0
Torn
Torn is a browser-based text-based MMORPG (now available on Android!) that is among the earliest crime-themed text-based MMOs on the internet. It has inspired multiple equally-popular games, including Zynga's Mafia Wars and David Maestri's Mob Wars, though the former isn't as lasting as Torn.In this game, you play as an up-and-coming mobster in a vast fictional city that is just ripe for you to do your misdeeds in. The types of crimes you can commit, albeit virtually, in this game in astounding, and this is more so if you take into consideration that levels of depth and intricacies that Torn goes to make the game as immersive as it could. Of course, if you "failed" a crime attempt, you can risk going to jail for quite some time, from minutes to hours to even several days. You can battle other mobsters as well, both individually and in a clan.
There are plenty of other stuff to do aside from diving into a life of crime or dueling others. You can take up legitimate jobs or set up a business of your own; you can hit the gym to level up your stats; you can enroll in an educational course; or you can even craft items and sell them to others by posting ads.
Torn is one of the longest-running, mafia-themed, and text-based MMO game out there, and those aforementioned are just some of the reasons why it managed to stick around for so long. If you enjoy text-based mafia games, you'll want to give this game a try!
Yakuza 0
Yakuza 0 is a gang-themed action-adventure RPG that draws plenty of comparison to game series like GTA or Mafia. The game is set in the 1988 in the largest cities in Japan, Tokyo and Osaka, where you’ll be playing as Kazuma Kiryu is your run-of-the-mill debt collector who messed up, resulting in the death of his mark. Obviously, you’ll soon find yourself on the run and you’ll need all your wits and fighting skills with you if you are to survive the thugs and lowlifes that are hot on your trail.The atmosphere in Yakuza 0 is simply unmistakably the 80s, with neon-lights everywhere and the sound of cabaret ringing out throughout the streets. This is probably the best part about the game, aside from its intense gameplay. So, if you think this is the game for you, well, you can buy the game on the PlayStation 4 online store.
