- Achieving both overseas market success and government support simultaneously
- A hybrid gameplay that combines retro pixel graphics with elements of idleness, defense, and RPG.
- Content expansion with new mode ‘Deathworm’s Wrath’ and 25 costume updates
Indie game developer Act Seven Entertainment announced on the 21st that its mobile RPG ‘Godcher’ ranked first in the game simulation category on the Taiwanese Apple App Store, and was also selected as an excellent game in the ‘2025 Game Plus’ project hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency.
Since its launch in December 2024, “Gotcher” has differentiated itself with a hybrid structure that combines idle growth, tower defense combat, and RPG training based on retro dot-pixel graphics. Gamers can enjoy simple yet deep gameplay as they develop archers and strategically deploy them to defend against waves of monsters.
In particular, the simple controls and fast-paced battles offer intuitive fun for casual users, while experienced players can experience sophisticated challenges through character and skill combinations. This unique gameplay has been recognized as a case that transcends the limitations of indie games, proving its competitiveness in government-funded projects and overseas markets.
A recent major update introduced a new mode, “Deathworm’s Fury,” and 25 new costumes. “Deathworm’s Fury” is a limited-time content where players face powerful boss monsters, demanding both their growth and strategic deployment skills.
Furthermore, the costumes unveiled this time go beyond simple cosmetic changes. Some even offer stat boosts through the awakening system, expanding strategic options in battle. Costumes tailored to various occupations and characters are available, satisfying users’ desires for customization while also enhancing the fun of collecting.
Gamer reactions have also been positive. Community and App Store reviews consistently cite “a perfect blend of pixelated graphics and a modern combat system” and “consistent updates ensure long-term enjoyment.” Immediately following the update, discussions among users about boss strategies and costume combinations have become particularly active, and in-game community activity has also become more active.
An official from Act Seven Entertainment said, “As we have achieved meaningful results both domestically and internationally, we plan to continue to listen to the voices of our users and continue to expand our content and operate stable services.”
