Combining the above data and my usual gaming experience can get:
At present, the game market is dominated by three types of games: business strategy, role-playing and casual puzzles.
But it is worth mentioning:
- "King of Glory" is the only MOBA mobile game on the list to dominate the list for several consecutive years, and "Peace Elite" is the only FPS mobile game this year followed closely behind. I guess the reason for its success is that in addition to the fact that these two games were produced by a major game manufacturer like Tencent, and that they were the first mobile games of the same type (MOBA and FPS) in China to seize the market in advance, there are also their manufacturers who have carefully studied Consumer habits of domestic mobile phone users. These two games have a faster process than their similar PC games and are more suitable for the gaming habits of mobile players.
- Due to the involvement of capital, the current online mobile game market trends tend to be two modes: one is similar to the first one, which is the first to occupy the mobile game market with similar gameplay, and then rely on word of mouth and original users to dominate this part for a long time. "Cake", resulting in a monopoly (monopoly means that the ratio of players in this game to other similar game players is close to 9:1. PS: Similar to the popular game and the first domestic Otome mobile game released in 2017, "Love and Producer" etc.); the other is low production investment and high returns through capital flow. A more common routine is to use existing IP themes to sell feelings, make "flow" mobile games, adapt existing other forms of entertainment IP (such as famous martial arts novels, etc.) to attract old IP fans to download and play, and then drive up the game. The price of krypton gold has benefited from it (eg: "Yi Meng Jianghu", formerly known as "Chu Liuxiang". There are also many martial arts mobile games produced similarly. The game modes are similar. They are basically adapted from the same theme online game page game. Very low). The first of these two types requires high investment to obtain long-term and high benefits, but at the same time requires extremely high blank market acuity; the latter is more suitable for mass production, with low input and short-term high returns, which is equivalent to cutting leeks, and the benefits are not long-term.
- At present, in the domestic game market, whether it is a PC game or a mobile game, players have a high voice and evaluation for independent games that need to be bought out (without built-in consumer channels), but they are relatively high in terms of production cycle and investment. Therefore, few such games are produced, which is a blank in the market.
- The latest mobile game popularity growth is concentrated in the placement direction, but because it is still in the early stage of game development and the game mode exploration stage, except for the capital investment promotion of "The Strongest Snail", other similar games hardly made the list (eg: " One Hundred Scenes of Jiangnan")
to sum up
Based on the above analysis and summary: the current hot spots in the mobile game market mainly focus on:
Fast-paced competitive games and casual games that can fragment time.
