Hero Wars Surpasses 150 Million Lifetime Installs, Maintaining Top-Grossing Status
Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, has achieved a remarkable milestone: 150 million lifetime installs. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the game's longevity (released in 2017) and the intense competition within the mobile gaming market. The game, known for its distinctive (and sometimes unusual) YouTube advertising, has also seen a surge in revenue.
Following the knight Galahad's quest to overthrow the Archdemon, Hero Wars has consistently performed well in app store charts. While we haven't extensively reviewed the game's overall quality, its sustained popularity clearly indicates a dedicated player base.
From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success
Hero Wars' unconventional advertising, while attention-grabbing, may have alienated some potential players. Therefore, the recent surge in installs could be attributed, in part, to its significant collaboration with Tomb Raider. This high-profile partnership likely lent credibility to the game, encouraging hesitant gamers to give it a try. The success of this collaboration suggests future collaborations are a strong possibility.
