--
SLG games have always been a relatively unique category among overseas games. Due to its intensity in gameplay and high dependence on the core system, the development cost of SLG games is often very high, but a SLG game of quality also comes with huge benefits.
In recent years, SLG+ Kingdom/Emperor games have been thriving in overseas markets.
In these games, a player, as a monarch of a country or civilization, is able to build a city, recruit soldiers, form an army and engage in a war as a leader. Some games even enable the players to expand the imperial harems and thus grow their families. The gameplay is combined with elements such as RPG, Strategy, Collection, Card, etc.
Some typical home-grown SLG+ Kingdom/Emperor games are selected below and the analyses of popular advertising strategies are as follows.
01
Overall Situation in Advertising
In terms of advertising channels, among mainstream choices are Facebook Audience Network, Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, but there are also some games that take into account the Google platform and choose to place part of advertising on Admob.
The distribution of main advertising areas depends more on the language and theme of the game.
Take Call Me Emperor under Clicktouch as an example. 《叫我萬歲爺》，《Call Me Emperor》and《アイアム皇帝》 are respectively the traditional Chinese, English and Japanese versions of the Call Me Emperor series.
The traditional Chinese version is mainly targeted at markets such as Taiwan China, Malaysia, and Hong Kong China; the English version, English-speaking countries such as Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Canada; the Japanese version, mainly the Japanese market.
In the application intelligence section of App Growing Global, it can be seen that the three games basically follow the same advertising strategies. They continued to increase advertising in August last year and then maintained a relatively stable rhythm.
Another typical game is Game of Sultans, released by Mechanist. As an empire-themed SLG based on Ottoman history, it has a high appeal in Central and Eastern Europe. The advertising is also more concentrated in markets such as Russia and Germany.
The advertising of Game of Sultans has seen a cyclical fluctuation since July last year, and new creatives have also been constantly added and delivered.
