Set in 1900s Sicily, Mafia: The Old Country follows Enzo Favara as he leaves forced labor behind and tries to earn a place in the Torrisi crime family. Its story centers on the costs of that ambition, with rival families, shifting loyalties and vendettas shaping a cinematic crime drama. The setting moves between rugged countryside and grim urban streets, grounding Enzo’s rise in a period of gangland violence.
The game pairs third-person action with close-range blade fights, firearms and stealth takedowns. Players can confront enemies in close-quarters duels, attack from a distance with period-authentic weapons, or ambush them unseen. Travel also reflects the era: Enzo can ride a horse across streets and fields or drive turn-of-the-century automobiles. Crypts, ruins, vineyards and opera houses give this journey a varied Sicilian backdrop.
Its listed format is single-player, placing the emphasis on Enzo’s individual story and action rather than shared sessions. The documented premise and mechanics frame the game as a blend of mob drama, period detail and varied combat.
