Analysts at Sensor Tower refuted the majority opinion and the niche nature of RAID: Shadow Legends. In fact, it’s one of the best RPGs on mobile.
RAID: Shadow Legends is a mobile game that has popularized, if not spawned, the turn-based RPG genre with the assembly of a team of rare heroes. Despite the constant notifications and limited offers with a 4-digit price tag, which led to havoc from the gaming community, RAID: Shadow Legends took the 2nd place among the peers, surpassing Summoners War and even Marvel Strike Force. Only the anime game was ahead of Uma Musume Pretty Derby.
I should note that RAID: Shadow Legends earned its creators $1 billion in 3 years on the App Store and Google Play. During the first half of 2022, which just ended, RAID earned $155 million, which puts it in 12th position among RPGs worldwide. As for popularity, the top 1 place is the U.S., giving developers $595.5 million, which is half of the total; Germany is in 2nd place, and the U.K. is in 3rd place.
