Our Expert Score

78/100

Doodle Mafia continues the successful 'Doodle' formula by JoyBits, this time diving into the gritty world of crime and law enforcement. The core mechanic remains the same—combining two elements to create a third—but the thematic shift to gangs, heists, and city building adds a layer of complexity that was missing from earlier titles. You can play as a Crime Boss to build your empire or as a Cop to stop the chaos, providing two distinct perspectives on the same puzzle ecosystem.

The logic can sometimes be a bit 'abstract' (as is tradition for the series), leading to moments of trial-and-error that might frustrate some. However, the satisfaction of finally figuring out how to create a 'Mafia Don' or a 'SWAT team' is high. The art style is consistent with the brand, and the 'City' mode—where your combinations actually affect the visual growth of your criminal underworld—is a welcome addition that gives your progress more weight.

Balancing the Elements

If you are stuck, look at the category icons. They often give a hint about what type of element (e.g., person, weapon, or place) is missing to complete a specific crime syndicate.
