The genre that enjoys the greatest commercial success among mobile games in Russia is strategy.

In fact, it’s not a secret for anyone for a long time.
But we decided in connection with the last two materials, at the same time to check this fact once again.
And here’s what we found: seven of the ten highest-grossing games in Russia over the past October are strategies (in fact, eight, World of Tanks Blitz also positions itself as a strategy, but we, of course, cannot agree with this self-determination of the game).
It is curious that the mentioned seven titles can be conditionally divided into three directions: clones of Backyard Monsters (Clash of Clans, Castle Clash, Boom Beach), clones of Kingdoms of Camelot (Clash of Kings, Game of War – Fire Age, Vikings: War of Clans) and “other” (Galaxy Legend).
Outside of the mentioned genre, the Russian box office top, in addition to the already mentioned World of Tanks Blitz, also included the Hay Day time manager and the role-playing game Magic Rush: Heroes.
