Targem Games

Targem Games at a Glance

Targem Games is a Russian developer and publisher based in Yekaterinburg that has been active since 2003. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 21 titles, with the company acting as a developer on 15 of them and a publisher on 8. The studio spans over two decades of output, releasing ten games in the 2000s, seven in the 2010s, and only three in the 2020s so far. This decline in volume suggests their production pace has slowed significantly in recent years compared to their earlier work. Their genre focus is heavily weighted toward Racing and Indie games, with nine titles in the Racing category and seven in the Indie space. They also have a strong presence in Strategy and Adventure genres, including four Turn-based strategy titles. Platform availability is overwhelmingly centered on PC, appearing on Microsoft Windows in 20 of their 21 games. While they have released content for PlayStation 3, Linux, Mac, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and other consoles, these platforms see far fewer entries than the PC version. Quality control varies widely across their portfolio. The average IGDB rating sits at 63.8 out of 100 based on 13 rated titles. Their track record includes two great scores above 80, such as Check vs. Mate in 2011 and Hard Truck Apocalypse in 2005. Seven other titles fall into the good range between 60 and 79. However, the studio also has three mixed-rated games and one that scored below 40. Recent releases like Crossout from 2017 hold a score of 63.1, while newer efforts like The Way of the Tray in August 2025 have not yet received ratings. Targem Games is perhaps best known for their MMO action simulations Star Conflict and Crossout. They also released Clutch in 2009 and Hard Truck Apocalypse: Rise of Clans in 2006. Their output includes a mix of arcade shooters, card games, and simulators, but the drop in release frequency over the last few years is noticeable. Some players might find their racing titles or strategy games satisfying, while others may encounter inconsistent quality across their extensive list of older projects.
