Storm8's mobile games have reached more than 400 million casual gamers (exclusive)

Storm8 isn’t a household name yet, with generic games like Candy Blast Mania and Farm Story. But the mobile publisher’s games have been played by more than 400 million users over the past five years, according to chief executive Perry Tam.

The company has hit that milestone even though it hasn’t had big-name hits like Supercell’s Clash of Clans or King’s Candy Crush Saga. But Tam said in an exclusive interview with GamesBeat that the company consistently has six titles in the top 100-grossing games on iOS, and it currently has seven such games. Overall, he says Storm8 is in the top 10 in terms of the largest publishers on the top-grossing ranks in April.
