Review Radar 2025!

The curse of the podcast is broken (mostly). Nearly all games are still growing, proving 2025 is the year of scale in AdMon, 4X hybrids, and gacha monsters. 👇

𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗷𝗼𝗻𝗴 – Scaling hard with ~7M DAU and 400–500K daily downloads. Likely one of the biggest AdMon games worldwide, ~$200–300K/day revenue, profit margin cut to 10% to push growth.

𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 & 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 – Spiky gacha giant pulling $7M/day at peak, 40M+ monthly IAP. Heavy China + US mix.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 – Strong paid UA push, ~140K/day revenue, backed by Good Job Games’ $60M raise. PVX Partners shout-out for funding.

𝗠𝗼.𝗖𝗼, 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝗲, 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 – Mixed results. Clash Royale rebounding with $2.6M/day. Mo.Co flopping at <$30K/day. “Never bet against Supercell” remains true.

𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝟯𝗗 – Still stable at ~$400K/day, with parallel success in apps (remote control app doing $7–10M lifetime).

𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 (Century Games) – Peaked at $3M/day, but likely still climbing. Compared with Whiteout Survival’s long curve. Considered “Game of the Year (so far)”.

𝗜 𝗔𝗺 𝗖𝗮𝘁 / 𝗜 𝗔𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Meme titles holding steady at ~3M DAU combined, 70–100K/day revenue. Bigger than expected.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 (Chinese merge/match) – Four years old, still at ~$300K/day, 50% US revenue. Proves merge+match combo works.

𝗗𝗖 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Failing forex experiment with DC IP. Too much gacha, not enough 4X. Curve nosediving. Compared unfavorably to copycats like Tile Survive.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘀.𝗰𝗼𝗺 – Growing monster. ~14M DAU, $200K/day app revenue (not including website), $500M lifetime. Still dominates with no competitor.

𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 – Hard Vietnamese hybrid. 90% ads, $26K/day, ~110K downloads/day. Stable baseline with IAP growth.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 – Surging with movie tie-ins (Lilo & Stitch, Lion King). ~$650K/day peak. Playtika now owns the solitaire category.

𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝘀 / Short Drama apps – Whole category booming at $100M+/month. DramaBox & RealShort are competing at 30–40M/month each.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿 – Ad-driven success, ~$120–150K/day from rewarded + interstitial ads. Still stable, not collapsing.
