Atari, today announced that their card-based mob brawler, Goon Squad™, is now available on the App Store and Google Play.
Goon Squad drops players into an underworld ruled by mobsters, gambling and fast-paced card battles. Players can plot a path from lowly Goon to all-powerful Godfather in the free-to-play title, collecting cards to rise through the ranks and build the ultimate criminal empire.
Developed by On5, Goon Squad is available now for download on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and Google Play for Android devices
Players brawl their way to the top by dominating adversaries in head-to-head card matches, deploying goons to take over rival headquarters while defending their own safe houses. Join a squad to gain protection, survive in four-player rumbles and earn new cards to progress through perilous cities.
