Top Games Inc. has enjoyed success throughout the Google and Apple rankings since the release of Evony in 2016. This ranking, which aggregates performance across both the Google Play and Apple App Stores, underscores our growing influence in a highly competitive digital economy. Our steady ascent has culminated in a defining milestone. According to the latest figures from Data.ai’s July report, we have claimed the #13 spot among the highest-grossing companies in the United States. This ranking—spanning both the Google Play and Apple App Stores—signals our deepening footprint in one of the world’s most competitive digital markets.
From Super Bowl Screens to Global Conquest
Our Super Bowl campaign for Evony: The King’s Return—the franchise’s fourth installment—marked a turning point. The ad featured a star-studded cast of historical figures, including Jeffrey Dean Morgan as King Arthur and Fan Bingbing as Empress Wu. It invited players to master war strategy while celebrating cultural diversity. Today, sales continue to climb. This growth stems from lifelike characters, inventive storylines, and layers of varied gameplay.
Evolution of the Platform
We maintain player interest by balancing compelling plots with technical excellence. In the mid-2010s, CEO David Guo spotted a shift: gaming was moving beyond the desktop. As players migrated to mobile, we launched a calibrated platform designed for high-end visuals without lag. This technical leap, combined with Evony’s breakout success, fueled both the game’s popularity and our annual revenue.
A Digital Ecosystem of History
Evony represents a high-water mark for our development team. It is a sophisticated world where history and strategy collide. Players choose an allegiance from seven distinct civilisations, from the dynasties of China to the frontiers of Europe and America. Once you select a character and timeline, the world opens up. It is a global arena where players interact in real time.
Breaking the Language Barrier
We have dismantled traditional language barriers. Through integrated auto-translation and fluid voice-to-text tools, communication is seamless. A player in London can coordinate a siege with an ally in Tokyo as easily as if they shared a mother tongue.
Beyond the Battlefield
The true allure of Evony, however, lies in its psychological depth. It is not merely a game of conquest, but a laboratory for leadership. Players can experiment with the nuances of power, stepping into the boots of a:
- Warlord: Orchestrating military campaigns.
- Diplomat: Navigating the delicate webs of international alliance.
- Elected Governor or Monarch: Managing the internal pulse of a growing empire.
This immersive role-playing is the heartbeat of the experience, offering a digital facsimile of high-stakes leadership that feels remarkably grounded.
Top Games has maintained Evony’s relevance through a relentless cycle of reinvention. Even for the veterans who have conquered every kingdom, the introduction of complex, “brain-burning” puzzles ensures the mental grind never stalls. By constantly weaving in new scenarios and shifting landscapes, we ensure that the world of Evony remains as unpredictable as the history that inspires it.
Cultural Anchors in Gaming
We recognise player feedback as the lifeblood of game refinement. Our leadership identified a fundamental human truth: players crave representation. A distinct gravitational pull draws them toward the familiar. As our developers leaned into localised features—the specific architectural flourishes of a region or the nuances of a local myth—the community discovered a deeper sense of belonging.
This approach rejects cultural isolationism. Instead, it builds on the principle that a player’s journey into “uncharted territory” succeeds best when they possess a stable cultural anchor. By grounding the initial experience in something recognisable, we provide the psychological comfort players need to venture out and embrace the global diversity of the Evony landscape.
As gaming evolves with new technologies and market trends, we will continue to adapt. From introducing e-sports characters to offering additional in-game rewards, our company constantly seeks ways to keep players engaged and coming back for more.
Players want to feel connected to something familiar before exploring new realms. Once they do step out, the auto-translate chat feature enables them to build friendships and enjoy the game across cultures. Ultimately, this experience is helping to bring the world closer together through play.
