MADFINGER Games at a Glance

MADFINGER Games is a Czech developer founded in 2008 that has released eleven titles since 2009. Their catalog spans mobile platforms heavily, with nine games on iOS and eight on Android. They have also published one title each for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Windows Phone. The studio has shifted its focus over the years as their output changed from a single release in the 2000s to seven games in the 2010s. In the current decade, they have only released two titles so far. Their genre work leans heavily toward shooters with seven entries in that category. They also have five adventure games and smaller numbers of simulators, RPGs, hack and slash games, arcade games, tactical games, and puzzles. The quality of their work shows a wide range. Their average IGDB rating across five rated titles sits at 71.2 out of 100. This score includes two great titles scoring above 80, two good titles between 60 and 79, and one mixed title in the 40 to 59 range. No games from their catalog fall into the poor rating category. Samurai II: Vengeance released in 2010 with a high score of 90/100. Their most recent major release, Gray Zone Warfare from April 2024, holds a strong 86.7/100 rating. These titles show the studio can deliver high-quality work. However, their mobile shooter sequels and spinoffs have struggled to match that early success. Dead Trigger (2012) scored 69.2/100, while its sequel Dead Trigger 2 (2013) dropped slightly to 67.4/100. Shadowgun Legends released in 2018 with a mixed score of 43/100. Other releases like Unkilled in 2015 and Monzo: Digital Model Builder in 2014 sit between the highs and lows of their catalog. The company describes itself as aiming for console-quality games on mobile devices, but the data shows a focus on shooter mechanics across multiple platforms. While they have achieved critical acclaim with specific projects like Samurai II: Vengeance and Gray Zone Warfare, other entries in their library suggest inconsistent results. Players browsing PlayPile will find a developer capable of strong performances in both PC and mobile spaces, though recent output has slowed compared to their peak activity in the 2010s.
