The July report from Data.ai places Top Games Inc. at #13 among the top-grossing businesses in the United States across Google Play and Apple App Stores. In the mid-2010s, CEO David Guo recognized the shift of video gaming from desktops to mobile devices. Top Games Inc. responded with a platform offering high-quality, responsive mobile gaming experiences.
David: Steering Evony to Mobile Gaming Success
David Guo, a technology and online gaming enthusiast, began his career in multimedia management software, later venturing into cybersecurity with firewall software development. In 2009, noting a lack of focus on user experience in the gaming industry, he joined Top Games Inc., applying his physics degree and passion to the video game sector.
“For gamers, a game is not just a hobby or entertainment but a way of life. Mobile gaming is now pivotal, in fact, to everything we do at Top Games Inc.,said David.
David is a visionary and ambitious entrepreneur. Even before the mobile gaming trend took off, he foresaw the rise of mobile games and led a professional team to transition from primarily social media-based flash games to mobile games. With a user-centric approach and a grounded mindset, he consistently improved the user experience in all aspects of game development and team management.
“We aimed to create the best gaming experience possible and to cultivate long-lasting gaming communities that would continually enhance that experience,”
Under Guo's leadership, Top Games Inc. emphasizes rigorous product testing and rapid scaling to enhance the gaming experience. This commitment to user-centric design contributed significantly to the success of their flagship game, Evony.
Evony: The King's Return
Evony: The King's Return, a real-time MMO war-strategy mobile game, allows players to choose from seven civilizations — American, Chinese, European, Russian, Korean, Arabian, and Japanese. The game's immersive role-playing experience is enhanced by auto-translation features, enabling global players to interact seamlessly.
Evony offers players diverse roles, from warlords to diplomats, capturing the essence of these positions realistically. The game also includes challenging puzzles, a key element that keeps players engaged with new scenarios and scenes.
The game boasts a fusion of major civilizations from history, each with its unique civilization talents and distinctive architectural styles. As a result, players encounter legendary heroes like Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, George Washington, Wu Zetian, Charles the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Qin Shi Huang, Alexander, and Oda Nobunaga within the game's immersive world.
