The Mob philosopher Frankie Tiramisu once said that all the successful Mob Boss needed was a big gun, a tiny conscience, and a shockingly high tolerance for male jewelry. Frankie also said, "Heh, Godfather's getting a little chunky!" just before he got whacked. Unlike Frankie, if you want to succeed in Deathground you'll also need a brain...
Things To Do With Your Brain
• Even if you don't read the manual, read the quick help in the game itself -- knowing a few keyboard short cuts won't kill ya. Oh, and if you click anywhere on the map and drag, you can move around quicker then a wiseguy on the lamb.
• Deathground is a game of strategy - if you want to win you'll need an objective, and it helps if you're not the biggest target.
• Order Deathground direct from Freeverse!
