Market Insights
•MapleStory: Idle RPG (#1) has absolutely dominated the charts for 26 of the last 30 days, which suggests its auto-battle mechanics and strong IP are creating a very sticky experience for players who want progression without constant active play.
•The surge of Masha and the Bear: My Friends (+21) and Cafe Life: Restaurant Game (+18) indicates a notable trend where hybrid RPG-simulation games, often appealing to a younger or more casual audience, are gaining significant traction this month.
•RAID: Shadow Legends (#4, +4) remains a consistent powerhouse, and its climb back up likely reflects a successful in-game event or update that re-engaged its dedicated player base, a common pattern for this veteran title.
•New arrival Gladiator Simulator: Arena War seems to have found an immediate audience, appearing both as a new entry and a consistent performer, probably because its straightforward arena combat premise offers quick, satisfying sessions.
