Even with all the craziness surrounding ‘kompu gacha’ for Japan’s biggest social gaming companies, their businesses still keep chugging along. And one of the biggest players, GREE (TYO:3632), has hit a milestone with the first game produced by its North American studio, Zombie Jombie. The folks over at Gamebiz.jp have reported that the title has surpassed one million downloads in App Store.
We got in touch with GREE representatives and received confirmation that the game has indeed surpassed the one million downloads mark. We’re also told that Zombie Jombie was selected as one of Apple’s ‘New and Noteworthy’ games, and is in the top 10 grossing apps list for the US app store.
I was initially skeptical that a card-based title would do very well in the U.S. as that has been a genre that had really only proven itself for GREE in its home market. But a million downloads in two months is certainly a decent start for the game, I think.
If you’d like to give it a try for yourself, you can get it from the App Store. There’s a great walk-through of the game by YouTube user TheCodGamer2010 below as well.
On a somewhat related note, Rage of Bahamut from DeNA and Cygames hit number one of Google Play’s top grossing charts just last month. We’ve been seeing a lot of enthusiastic comments from readers about this one as well. If you’d like to learn more, you can check out our own review of Rage of Bahamut.
