Market Insights
•MapleStory: Idle RPG (#1) has been the clear leader, holding the top spot for 26 of the last 30 days, which suggests its idle mechanics and brand recognition are creating a very sticky user base that keeps coming back.
•The surge of Masha and the Bear: My Friends, which jumped 21 spots, and Cafe Life: Restaurant Game, up 18, indicates a notable appetite for more casual, simulation-leaning RPGs, probably because they offer a less demanding daily grind.
•New arrival Gladiator Simulator: Arena War managed to land as a consistent performer right out of the gate, a feat that often points to effective pre-launch marketing or a core combat loop that immediately resonates with a specific audience.
•While RAID: Shadow Legends (#4) gained four positions, its main rival in the high-fantasy collector space, CookieRun: Kingdom, is a fresh arrival to watch, as user reviews often highlight its visual charm as a key differentiator in a crowded field.
