TopIsekai enters soft launch and reinvents the traditional anime gacha format
The mobile game TopIsekai is gradually gaining momentum in the global market. The game has been in soft launch since February 12, 2026, and is already available to users in 34 countries via the App Store and Google Play. Key regions include the United States, Germany, Italy, Canada, South Korea, and Hong Kong. A constant internet connection is required for full gameplay, highlighting its focus on online mechanics and regular content updates.
Despite a relatively quiet start, TopIsekai has already attracted the attention of analysts. According to AppMagic, the project entered the top 22 games during its soft launch. On Google Play alone, the game has been downloaded over 50,000 times, with total revenue exceeding $50,000. More than half of this revenue — 52% — came from US users, indicating high audience engagement in that region.
However, it's not the statistics that are most intriguing, but the developers' approach to the genre. TopIsekai departs from the typical anime gacha formula with its emphasis on character collection and automated battles. Instead, players are offered a casual strategy game with elements of a city-building simulator. The focus is on developing your own medieval city: constructing buildings, managing resources, and hiring staff for various retail outlets.
At the same time, the elements that make anime games so beloved have not disappeared. TopIsekai features anime-style characters who actively participate in the storyline. Interaction with them extends beyond dialogue: by completing their tasks, players earn "hearts," unlock additional skins, and gradually deepen their in-game relationships.
