Hasbro

Hasbro at a Glance

Hasbro operates as a major American toy and media conglomerate with a significant history in the gaming sector from 1996 through 2018. The company holds trademarks for iconic brands like Kenner, Parker Brothers, and Milton Bradley, which influenced its diverse game catalog. On PlayPile, Hasbro has 44 titles listed, with 42 appearing as a publisher and 10 as a developer. Their output peaked in the 2000s when they released 27 games, compared to just 6 in the 1990s and 8 during the 2010s. This decline suggests a reduction in active game development over time, particularly after their mid-decade high point. The company's platform strategy heavily favored niche hardware early on. They released 27 games for Handheld Electronic LCD devices, which dominates their entire library. PC and mobile platforms saw much less activity, with only 6 games for Microsoft Windows and 4 each for Android and iOS. Their genre focus was equally varied, spanning Card & Board Games, Strategy, Simulators, Arcade, Role-playing, Adventure, Shooter, Racing, Puzzle, and Sport. This wide range reflects their background in physical toys and board games rather than a singular digital specialty. Quality metrics from the platform show a generally positive reception for their few rated titles. Hasbro has an average IGDB rating of 81 out of 100 based on just two scored entries. One title is classified as great, and the other as good, with no mixed or poor ratings recorded. Their highest-rated game is DropMix from 2017, which holds a score of 82.5. DragonVale, released in 2011, follows closely with a score of 79.4. While their recent releases include Yahtzee Electronic and various My Little Pony titles like Equestria Girls, the overall volume of their digital output was small compared to their brand recognition.
