Hero Wars Celebrates 150 Million Lifetime Installs!
Nexters' fantasy RPG, Hero Wars, has achieved a remarkable milestone: 150 million lifetime installs. This success, for a game launched over five years ago, is particularly noteworthy given the intense competition in the mobile gaming market. The game, which follows the knight Galahad's quest to defeat the Archdemon, has consistently performed well in various charts and remains a top-grossing title for Nexters.
While we haven't extensively reviewed Hero Wars, its sustained popularity speaks volumes. The enduring appeal of Galahad's adventures suggests several contributing factors.
From Quirky Ads to Collaborative Success
Hero Wars' unconventional and sometimes surreal advertising campaigns have certainly generated buzz. However, a significant boost likely came from its first major collaboration – an unexpected partnership with Tomb Raider. The association with Lara Croft, a recognizable and respected figure, may have persuaded hesitant players to give Hero Wars a try, contributing significantly to this latest milestone.
Future collaborations seem highly probable, given the success of this strategy.
