Kakao Games Corp. announced on October 12 that its new 2.5D MMORPG, World of Dokkaebi, reached second place in revenue rankings on both Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Developed by Supercat and published by Kakao Games, World of Dokkaebi officially launched on October 8. According to Kakao Games, the game maintains a user rating of 4.6 on Google Play based on more than 10,000 reviews. The company explained that this rating is among the highest compared to games in the same genre, attributing the positive reviews to its worldview, gameplay, and player-friendly live operations.
In popularity rankings, the title climbed to number one on the Apple App Store on October 7 when pre-downloads began, and secured first place on Google Play on its launch day, October 8. In revenue rankings, it rose to second place on the Apple App Store following release and reached second place on Google Play on October 11.
Early post-launch operations have focused on gathering player feedback and integrating it into the game. During a live broadcast on October 9, Kakao Games outlined key areas for improvement, including smoothing out progression bottlenecks, adjusting acquisition amounts for 'Dan' and 'Yohonseok', and adding new paths to obtain Taoist magic through guild content. Subsequent maintenance updates reflected this feedback while providing compensation. To accommodate the surging player base, the publisher added a new server, 'Bokbun', around 7:30 PM on October 10 and distributed special rewards to ensure a stable playing environment.
Outfits and mounts do not grant growth-related stats, and the membership period was extended to 30 days—measures previously detailed during online showcases and live demonstration streams. Moving forward, the company plans to release seasonal updates every four weeks and communicate with players through its official communication channel, the 'Dokkaebi Assembly'.
While prioritizing stable operations and content updates for domestic service, Kakao Games is also preparing for global service. The company aims to target overseas markets with its player-friendly gameplay, pixel graphics, and Taoist magic combinations. Leveraging operational expertise and content accumulated from domestic service, Kakao Games plans to deliver a stable gaming environment for global players.
Detailed information about the game can be found on the official World of Dokkaebi website and official community.
