LINE Games Corporation at a Glance

LINE Games Corporation operates out of South Korea and traces its roots to 2012, though the specific brand LINE Games formed after the parent company consolidated NextFloor Corporation in 2018. The studio has maintained an active presence from 2012 through 2023, releasing more titles in the 2020s with six games compared to four in the previous decade. Their current catalog on PlayPile lists eleven total entries, with nine of these published under the LINE Games banner and four developed directly by them. The company focuses heavily on mobile platforms, with eight titles available on both Android and iOS. They also reach PC users with six releases, while their console footprint is much smaller, featuring single entries for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation Vita. Their genre portfolio leans significantly toward Adventure and Role-playing games, each accounting for five of their projects. Strategy games make up another three titles, alongside smaller counts for Simulator, Visual Novel, Puzzle, Arcade, Tactical, Music, and Card & Board Game categories. Quality assessment relies on very limited data. Only one rated title exists in the dataset, which is Buried Stars from 2020 with an IGDB score of 76.8. This single entry falls into the good range between 60 and 79 points. No titles have received great ratings above 80, nor do any fall into mixed or poor categories based on current records. Recent releases include Uncharted Waters Origin in February 2023, Guardian Chronicle: Random Defense in March 2021, Ravenix: The Card Master in October 2020, and Disney Tsum Tsum Stadium in September 2020. While the publisher has a steady output across mobile and PC platforms over more than a decade, the lack of diverse critical data makes it difficult to judge their overall consistency. The presence of well-known licenses like Disney suggests a strategy that leverages existing IP alongside original projects. Players browsing PlayPile should note that while they have released games in many genres, their most substantial ratings come from just one specific title in the Adventure space.
