Con Artist Games

Con Artist Games at a Glance

Con Artist Games is an Australian studio founded in 2008 that has operated from 2007 through 2025. The company started as a single developer working on browser games that eventually reached hundreds of millions of players. They currently list nine games on PlayPile, with nine titles as their developer and two under their publishing arm. Their catalog spans web browsers, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Linux, and Mac. The vast majority of their work targets the web browser platform, which accounts for six of their nine listed releases. Their genre focus leans heavily toward Shooter, Adventure, and Role-playing games, with four titles in each category. They also produce Strategy, Tactical, Turn-based strategy, Card & Board Game, and Simulator content. The studio has released fewer games as time has passed. They published four titles in the 2000s, three in the 2010s, and only two in the 2020s so far. This decline in output suggests a shift from their early days of high volume to a more sporadic release schedule in recent years. Quality control has varied throughout their history. Their average IGDB rating sits at 71.5 out of 100 based on three rated titles. The studio has one great title, two good ones, and no mixed or poor ratings in that sample group. The Last Stand: Dead Zone from 2012 stands out as their highest-rated work with a score of 85.4. In contrast, Warfare Online from 2017 scored a modest 60, and The Last Stand: Aftermath from 2021 received a 69. These numbers indicate that while they can produce highly rated content, their recent output has not consistently matched the success of their early flagship title. They continue to release new entries like Warfare Legacy Collection in April 2025, but the pace remains slow compared to their initial burst of activity in the late 2000s.
