Mobile gaming is still one of the most lucrative formats for the industry, and Azra Games’ niche of RPG-styled turn-based video games for smartphones has been infused with the next-gen capabilities of Web3.
With a track record of successful titles, Azra takes what has traditionally been a format that leans towards the Asian gaming market, and tailors it to Western audiences.

Including open world, real-time battles and extended campaigns, Azra is pushing for a paradigm shift in the mobile gaming market.
