Market read

We modelled how players in South Korea, Poland and Italy receive games like Armatus, reading each market only against its own players. Built from the public store page and from real player voices about comparable titles. Nobody at the studio told us anything.
About the game
ARMATUS is a third-person roguelite shooter set in the demon-infested ruins of Paris. As the last supernatural warrior of an ancient order, armed with powerful firearms and incredible celestial powers, scour the city in search of a lost gateway to heaven - the Sunless Gate.
