Last War: Survival has made more than $50m in revenues in 2 months. More than $20m of that has been generated over the last 30 days. On the surface, this is a hypercasual title with a very familiar core game battle/builder mechanics driven by IAP monetization. But, like many other games coming out of China, Last War: Survival is a 4X strategy game. It takes about an hour of play before the player is drawn into the bigger picture, and it goes off from there. The hyper-midcore wave is now well and truly on its way. https://lnkd.in/dbi2pNKs

PUBG: Battlegrounds (previously known as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds) is a battle royale game developed by PUBG Studios and published by Krafton. The game, which was inspired by the Japanese film Battle Royale (2000), is based on previous mods created by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for other games, and expanded into a standalone game under Greene's creative direction. It is the first game in the PUBG Universe series.The game is played from either a third-person or first-person perspective. In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island where they scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill other players while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game's map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into an ever tightening space to force encounters. The last surviving player (or team) wins the round.#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking

Old-School editions of the games didn’t provide much direction for character creation and players were meant to discover who their characters were through play at the table. In contrast, 5th Edition offers a myriad of prompts for developing your character and defining their personalities. Which approach do you prefer? #50yearsoffantasy #dndpodcast #dnd #adnd #ttrpgs #fantasygaming

With each battle, your warriors will learn and evolve. You can send them down paths to develop them in new and unique ways, mix and match different builds to make a certain unit stand out against the crowd.
