    This game is completely unbalanced, the biggest problem is that there are no consequences for people who leave at the beginning of the game. There are people screaming nazi paroles and nothing happens with them. Gamethrower face no consequences and the game gets worse with every patch.

    Town of Salem was a very fun game. Unfortunately over the last year it has been ruined by the community. The game has become filled with gamethrowers. It is hard to find a game without gamethrowers at this point. We see countless people trying to kill confirmed townies as Vigilante, or voting up confirmed townies in a 2v1 situation, with town majority, as town.

People purposefully letting their faction lose so that way their friend can win. People who make entirely different accounts to gamethrow and cheat. Town of Salem used to be fun, but now its devolved into a bunch of gamethrowers warring with eachother.… Expand

    Avoid this game. All I keep getting are people on multiple accounts getting into a lobby. Last game I was in, I'm pretty positive one guy was on 5 accounts in one lobby sabotaging the whole game. When I see multiple accounts repeating word for word the exact same thing in the chat area, I just give up.

    This game is pretty good, and of course it would be as the real life game it is based on (Mafia/Werewolves) is awesome and tons of fun to play with friends. However, there are two things dragging the game down.

    The first is the community. Like many other free to play games out there, this game is riddled with cheaters and people trying to ruin the game for others. Many people are on    This game is pretty good, and of course it would be as the real life game it is based on (Mafia/Werewolves) is awesome and tons of fun to play with friends. However, there are two things dragging the game down.

    The first is the community. Like many other free to play games out there, this game is riddled with cheaters and people trying to ruin the game for others. Many people are on Skype together and intentionally assist a team other than their own. Furthermore, as there is no punishment whatsoever for leaving the game, many people will just outright leave at the start of the game if they don't get a role they like, causing the teams to be left imbalanced.

    The biggest issue however would be the developers of this game. They are stubborn and they do not seem to care about player feedback - they have their own vision of the game and that's that. Furthermore, many of the decisions they've taken are questionable at best. Here are some examples of what I mean:

    One of the most popular game modes is the ranked setup of 8 town, 3 mafia, 3 neutrals and an any. No matter how often people request that this game mode become available in non-ranked, so we can play it with friends, the developers refuse to add it. Instead, they have added "fun" random game modes like "Vigilantics" and "All Any", basically making the game really frustrating for anyone who wants to have balanced teams.

    Many roles are imbalanced. It's not a huge deal, but they recently added the Vampire role, which is probably the most underpowered role in the game. It would be okay if it was just a lower probability to win, but vampires also have very high grief-potential ability in turning people to their team if they're about to lose, essentially denying someone of the victory. Just what were they thinking? They should have focused on fixing the other imbalanced roles before adding new, pointless roles.

    Lastly, their hypocrisy. There's a profanity filter in the game that anyone can turn on if they get offended by swear words - and yet there's still an option to report people for using swear words. Not only that, but some particular swear words will get completely filtered - the game will warn you that you will get banned if you post these particular words and delete your message, despite the fact that there's a freaking profanity filter. What the hell? Even if this game wants to cater to teens and children for whatever reason, the profanity filter should be adequate.

    The only reason why I bothered making an account here to write this review is because the social media guy on Twitter wants us to shill this game, in order to give it a higher rating than Fallout. Tell you what, how about you tell your friends at Blank Media Games to step their stuff up and focus on making this game one that's actually good, and stop comparing it to actual quality products?    … Expand

    This game could have been great but the massive skill difference between random players and Skypers ruined it. If you're looking for a similar experience, check out some older W3 maps or the newer Starcraft 2 ports.

    This is a great game but the community is broken... I may keeping playing but I will likely switch to Throne of Lies soon. The game itself is.... okay, but it's just imbalanced and toxic. I feel it could be done better.

    I have been playing this game since 2014 and though my time of playing i have seen this game slowly go down hill to the point that the moderation team doesn't want to ban their friends, their users are Hagg1s and th3violence, these users have shown time and again that they don't read the rules and love to break the rules and harass players, and the great part is i have proof.

If you still want to play this game, avoid those players at all cost otherwise they will target you every time they see you.
