Noviy Disk

Noviy Disk at a Glance

Noviy Disk operated as a publisher rather than a developer from its founding in 1997 until it ceased activity in 2009. Based in Moscow, Russia, the company focused primarily on the Russian-speaking market while distributing software for PC platforms like Microsoft Windows, Mac, and various mobile systems including iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile. They also released titles for older consoles such as the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation Portable. Their catalog on PlayPile contains exactly 13 games, all listed under their role as a publisher. The company was much more active in the 2000s with twelve releases compared to just one game in the 1990s. The studio covered a wide range of genres but leaned heavily toward Adventure and Shooter titles. Seven of their games fell into the Adventure category, while six were Shooters. They also published three Puzzles, two Role-playing games, two Simulators, and two Strategy games. Their output included niche types like Racing, Arcade, Point-and-click, and Turn-based strategy. Despite this variety, the quality of their library shows a clear downward trend in recent years. The average rating across their four rated titles sits at 51.3 out of 100. This score reflects a mix of results where two games are considered good, one is mixed, and one is poor. Notably, they have zero great-rated titles in this dataset. Their highest-rated work was Mystery of the Crystal Portal from 2008, which earned a 70 out of 100 score. The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript from 2006 received a 60, while The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian in 2008 scored 54.9. In contrast, Lada Racing Club from 2006 was rated poorly with only 20.2 points. Recent releases like Pirate Hunter, Partisan, and Heart of Eternity do not have individual ratings listed yet. The company wrapped up its operations in late 2009 after releasing Metathrone in December of that year. Their track record suggests they were willing to publish across many platforms and genres, but the consistency of their output varied significantly from hit to flop.
