Developed by a Xiamen-based studio founded by ex-Tencent and NetEase veterans, the title surged to #1 on China’s iOS Free Chart (Role-Playing category) within days — a remarkable debut for a brand-new IP.

Instead of chasing fantasy RPG trends, the developers spotted a market gap: a sci-fi-themed tower-defense game with anime appeal. In China’s 2025 mobile landscape — flooded with RPGs and idle games — this mix stood out.
By combining strategic gameplay with anime culture, Densicraft hit the sweet spot between strategy enthusiasts and subculture fans, creating a unique identity that instantly resonated.

From the catchy theme song 《Still Alright》 (featuring TetraCalyx and "XiaoYuan" 小缘) to the offline event "Silver Blue Party" tour in Xiamen, the studio blurred the line between digital marketing and real-world experiences.
But the real masterstroke was the collaboration with “Nailoong (奶龙)”, an adorable yet wildly popular Chinese IP. This partnership bridged Densicraft’s futuristic style with a meme-friendly mascot beloved by Gen Z, amplifying the game’s reach far beyond traditional ads.
Every announcement, livestream, and update felt like part of an unfolding story. The studio used Q&As, developer diaries, and emotional voiceovers to humanize the brand — transforming followers into fans and fans into advocates.

Densicraft didn’t rely solely on ads. It partnered with artists and influencers from anime and subculture communities to build credibility and connection. These collaborations boosted visibility, inspired massive user-generated content (UCG) activity, and improved long-term retention.
The offline event generated waves of UGC on Bilibili and Weibo — photos, videos, and memes that extended Densicraft’s reach beyond ads. By designing shareable experiences and community moments, the studio turned attendees into organic promoters.
Adding an offline mode might seem simple, but it solved a huge frustration among Chinese mobile players — unstable connections during travel or commutes.
