Alawar Entertainment at a Glance

Alawar Entertainment has operated in the gaming industry since 1999. This Russian company currently lists 120 titles on PlayPile, with 108 credits as a publisher and 27 as a developer. Their catalog shows a heavy focus on PC, where they have released 116 games, while also supporting Mac with 30 titles. They have a smaller presence on consoles like PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, along with mobile support for iOS and Android. The studio's output has changed significantly over time. They released only one game in the 1990s before jumping to 30 titles in the 2000s. Their most productive period was the 2010s, where they published 71 games. Activity slowed in the 2020s with just 16 releases so far. The majority of their work falls into Adventure (65 games) and Puzzle (39 games). They also have a strong showing in Indie (30), Strategy (24), and Arcade (17) genres. Quality varies across their portfolio. Out of 33 rated titles, the average score sits at 64.6 out of 100. The breakdown shows that while they have produced some highly regarded work, such as Weird Park: Scary Tales and The Treasures of Montezuma 2 both scoring 90, they also have a significant number of mixed or poor results. Specifically, there are 10 games rated between 40 and 59 and two titles below 40. This suggests their recent volume does not always match the quality of their earlier hits like Twisted Lands: Insomniac or Beholder 2. Recent activity includes releases like Golden Rails: The Heart of the State in April 2025 and Rescue Team: Ancient Guardian in September 2024. These titles continue their focus on puzzle and adventure themes. Players looking for a consistent high-quality experience might find it hit or miss with this publisher, as their catalog contains a wide range of ratings despite their long history and large number of releases.
