The production team at EVONY has managed to construct a sophisticated game, which begs the question: are casual gamers looking for more out of their user experience? Based on EVONY sales numbers, the answer seems to be a resounding yes. We look at the details, the storylines, and what makes Top Games Inc. stand out.

Why has EVONY enjoyed such long-lasting success since its debut in 2016?

There are a few key reasons that EVONY has enjoyed success year after year on the download charts:

  • Featuring a variety of well-known international superstars, advertising for EVONY: The King’s Return struck an immediate chord among millions of gamers, almost instantly making EVONY one of the most popular and top-grossing games in the U.S. and the world.
  • EVONY is translated into more than 25 languages and is available across more than 150 countries, a level of accessibility few others can match.
  • EVONY’s expansive and unprecedented gaming universe allows players to customize and build armies, solve puzzles, create tactics, and command troops in countless ways, offering experiences gamers won’t find anywhere else.
  • Players can also customize their gaming experience by drawing on the expertise of their favorite historical figures, including anyone from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, and more.
  • EVONY continually evolves to provide players with the most rewarding gaming experience possible.

Why would a gamer work on puzzles if the strategy mode is already so popular?

Puzzles are really at the heart of every gaming experience. At Top Games US, our job is to stay ahead of the trends. We offer different types of puzzles with countless levels of varying challenges. Gamers challenge their IQs with our brain burners. To keep things fresh and exciting, we offer a variety of scenes to keep our players engaged in every game.

How are old and new elements of the game balanced?

We look at what the market wants first. We don’t want to destroy what made the game favored, but we also don’t want the story to get stale, either. This is a tricky equation to balance, but we’ve found that we’re better off when we prioritize local content. It’s not that people don’t want to explore other cultures, but they particularly enjoy seeing an accurate portrayal of themselves on screen. As long as all those details are accurate, it’s easier to add new components to the game without losing its best features.

Can you describe EVONY’s social elements and how they struck a chord with gamers?

We take socialization to a new level. It’s not only about surface alliances anymore.

We provide users with everything they need for friendly interactions, including supportive questions, honor notifications, attack reminders, etc.

One server for everyone: Our translator services cover 24 languages. Any player can talk to any other player and become a faithful ally.

What are your future plans?

  • At Top Games, we’re getting ready to:
  • Focus on esports characters.
  • Create new and stronger champions.
  • Make our games a little more user-friendly for new gamers.
  • Add additional gifts.
  • Create flexible matching games.
  • Data Updates

    As of August 2023, "Evony: The King's Return" generated 3.9 million new downloads and brought in $126.6 million in new revenues. Its performance in the first half of 2023 indicates an impressive popularity trend.

    The game's challenging strategy has attracted a vast and experienced user base. Community discussions are more vibrant than ever, with weekly events offering chances to earn rewards, gifts, and recruit new generals. One such event, "Wheel of Past Secret," allows players to earn limited rewards, including the coveted Red Demon Statue.

    With more than 7 years on the market and multiple updates, "Evony" remains a significant player in the gaming industry. Features such as recruiting famous generals from diverse eras and countries, seven different civilizations, and engaging SVS and PVP gameplay, make it a standout title.

    CEO, David Guo's vision revolves around improving user experience continually. When "Evony" clinched the NXY Silver Award for Strategy Games, David emphasized designing games from the user's perspective, ensuring they're not only entertaining but also straightforward and uncomplicated.

    In 2022, "Evony" received multiple accolades, including the Best MMO Game at the Samsung Store and ranking 5th among the Top Ten US-Headquartered Mid-Core Games. Thanks to its success, Top Games made its mark among the Top 10 highest-grossing developers on both the AppStore and Google Play.

    David Guo, ever the visionary, sees continuous innovation in the game market's future. With new technologies on the horizon, he's particularly optimistic about the prospects of VR games. Under his leadership, the company has ventured into various themed games, from the mafia-themed "MAFIA ORIGIN" and zombie-infested "PLAGUE OF Z" to the magical strategy game "INFINITY CLAN."
