Analyzing the Esports Potential of Tower Rush Titles

Tower rush games, with their perfect blend of strategy and reflex action, have become the premier mobile esports genre.

The short match duration makes for incredibly exciting viewing experiences, perfect for modern attention spans.

The Viewing Experience

Unlike incredibly complex MOBAs with hundreds of items and confusing visual clutter, tower rush is easily digestible.

This ‘easy to learn, impossible to master’ dynamic is the hallmark of every successful tier-one esport in history.

• Esports are no longer limited to expensive PCs.
• The community is highly engaged.
• Constant developer support is required.

The Pay-to-Win Stigma

The primary hurdle these games face in gaining respect from traditional hardcore gamers is their monetization models.

In these sanctioned events, every card and tower is artificially locked to the exact same level, regardless of money spent.
