Wicket Gaming launches the game Idle King under own brand
Wicket Gaming has now launched the free-to-play mobile game Idle King under its own App Store and Google play. This after acquiring the rights to the game on December 21, 2022, as previously communicated.
The game is an easily accessible strategy game where you, as a medieval king, have to rescue the princess who has been captured by enemies. As a king, you have the opportunity to hire workers that will generate gold coins which in turn can be used to unlock and upgrade troops that fight the enemy outside the castle walls.
Idle King has been downloaded over 450,000 times since its test launch. The game has a Google Play rating of 4.3 and a corresponding rating in the Apple App Store of 4.7.
In a comment, Wicket Gaming's CEO, Eric de Basso, says:
“The sharp launch of Idle King will be very exciting to follow given the successful test launch. We have high hopes of being able to scale up the user base and thus create significant monetization opportunities going forward with development of features in the game".
