Our take
Over the years mobile devices have become more and more powerful, and as a result people playing games on them have begun to expect more from what's on offer than the relatively simple titles of yesteryear. Recognising this change in the market, mobile gaming veterans from King, DICE and Rovio came together to form Snowprint Studios, a games developer aimed squarely at the growing "midcore" gamer demographic: players who game daily and expect a little more depth than casual clickers.
Snowprint has to date produced three major releases: Legend of Solgard, Rivengard and Warhammer 40,000 Tactitus (based on the popular Games Workshop franchise). These games have attracted uniformly high reviews for their tight gameplay and high production values, and the company has grown a player base of millions across its properties.
Developing within the Warhammer franchise was a smart move for Snowprint, as it taps into a player base that is comfortable with repeated microtransactions (in its original incarnation, it was a rather expensive tabletop miniatures game where figures are bought individually or in small groups). An acquisition by Modern Times Group in 2023 meant that the Swedish game developer could utilise MTG's Flow Platform - a business intelligence tool. Its purchase will also allow Tacticus to expand to other platforms, expanding the reach of Snowprint's games.
