The Godfather: The Action Game Overview
The Godfather is a DOS game that spans five decades, from the 1940s to the 1980s, with each level representing a different ten-year period. Players assume the role of a character working to ascend within the Corleone family organization over this fifty-year timeline.
Core gameplay involves navigating environments and engaging in combat, where targeting rival family members improves the player's status. Conversely, harming non-combatants will negatively impact this standing. A recurring challenging element is a reflex-based mini-game where players must quickly respond to armed threats while avoiding unarmed individuals.
The overarching objective is to eliminate competing criminal families to secure dominance. This title was released to coincide with the third film in the series, framing its narrative around the broader saga.
