Thugs Never Die

Thugs Never Die is an open-world game set in 1950s Freedom City. You play as Bob Davidson, who returns to his hometown after spending time in Europe. Once employed at a friend’s car wash, Bob has since become a criminal; with poverty worsening after a government scandal over plans to modernize the city, he looks for ways to make a living and move into the criminal underworld.

Bob’s return

Bob can take jobs from his old friend, who runs a car wash but also carries out other work to earn more, or cooperate with the city’s biggest Mafia. Starting over in a changed hometown, he faces a way of life he may initially dislike but eventually grows used to. His work brings money and trouble as he tries to become a gangster.

Missions and criminal work

Story mode has 70 missions. You work for Bob’s friend as a criminal, kill businessmen for money and attract the attention of the biggest Mafia in the city, which becomes willing to cooperate with you. Missions also include acquiring modern cars, using modern guns and chasing people who want to keep Bob from succeeding.

Freedom City

The city combines a 1950s setting with modern cars and weapons, and is populated by Mafia-style characters. Cars can run out of fuel, and you can explore on foot or by car. Places you can visit include burger shops, banks, gas stations, a large park and houses. You can also swim to Freedom Island to see the historical Statue Of Liberty.
