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 title, known for its distinctive (some might say unusual) YouTube advertising, has also seen a surge in revenue.
Following the knight Galahad's quest to defeat the Archdemon, Hero Wars has consistently performed well in app store charts. While we haven't extensively reviewed the game's overall quality here, its sustained popularity clearly indicates a dedicated player base.
From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success
Hero Wars' unconventional advertising, while potentially divisive, might have inadvertently contributed to its success. However, its recent major collaboration with Tomb Raider likely played a significant role in boosting its install numbers. The partnership lent an air of credibility, potentially encouraging hesitant players to give the game a try. This strategic collaboration has clearly paid off handsomely.
Future collaborations seem highly probable, given the success of this partnership.
