Korean Games
Korea's mobile game developer and publisher Gamevil announced on September 4 that its two newest games are occupying top ranking positions in the Korean and Japanese mobile application markets.
Hero Master for Kakao, Gamevil's own creation, and Monster-man Rumble, a product created together with Players, have become hits on Apple’s App Store in Korea and the Google Play Store in Japan.
A day after release, Hero Master ranked top on the App Store charts for free apps, free games, strategy games, and RPG games in Korea.
Monster-man Rumble has also taken the number one position on the Google Play Store charts for free games in Japan, becoming the top new free Android game.
The reason for the two games' popularity in both countries lies in Gamevil's strategies. The company harmonized a play system and social functions based on its expertise in the development of mid-core mobile games. It also combined a card battle game and a slot play system, which is unprecedented in Korea. Moreover, it targeted Korea and Japan separately, and connected the game with Kakao. Gamevil's other smart approach was that it adopted a new concept, the conquest of Japan, for the game.
