RAID: Shadow Legends — A dark fantasy turn-based RPG where you summon hundreds of champions and battle through dungeons, clans, and PvP arenas in a heavily monetized grind. (rated hard difficulty, low ad pressure) Tower War - Tactical Conquest — A cute but deceptively challenging tower-defense strategy game where you allocate colorful forces to conquer enemy positions with elegant tactical simplicity. (rated medium difficulty, high ad pressure)
