Koei Tecmo Games

Koei Tecmo Games at a Glance

Koei Tecmo Games operates out of Japan with a catalog that spans nearly four decades, though the entity known by this specific name has been active since 2010. The company traces its roots back to 1987, but most of its output arrived after the 2000s. Their release volume grew significantly in the 2010s with 61 titles, while the 2020s have seen 34 releases so far. They are not a small studio by any measure, with 113 games listed on PlayPile and a presence across PC, PlayStation consoles, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox systems. Genre focus is heavily tilted toward Role-playing games with 40 titles, followed by Adventure games at 36 and Hack and slash or Beat 'em up entries at 33. Strategy and Simulator genres also see regular output. Their ratings show a generally positive trend but include some inconsistency. Out of 54 rated titles, the average score is 71.8. The majority of their work falls into the good range with 35 scores between 60 and 79. They have produced 12 great titles scoring over 80, which includes Wild Hearts S at 90/100, Dead or Alive: Dimensions at 85/100, and the Nioh series entries ranging from 82.8 to 84.2. There are also a handful of mixed and poor results in their history. The company continues to leverage both Koei and Tecmo brand names for marketing even after the Tecmo corporation was dissolved in Japan in 2010. Recent activity shows they are still pushing major releases into 2025 and 2026 with titles like Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Their output remains substantial, though players should note that not every release hits the high marks set by their flagship action series.
