Madfinger’s Shadowgun War Games crosses 2 million mobile downloads

Madfinger Games has generated more than 2 million downloads for Shadowgun War Games, its latest free-to-play tactical first-person shooter that debuted last month on iOS and Android.

It’s not the fastest ramp for a mobile game, and for Madfinger, it’s not even a super-successful launch. But it shows once again that the studio can still create products that appeal to hardcore fans who enjoy games with console-like graphics on mobile devices. With this approach, the Czech Republic studio has been able to generate more than 50 million downloads for the Shadowgun franchise and grow to more than 100 employees.
