ye'ever notice that... like... mobile ads for certain games seem to be.... exactly the same???
like the exact same advert, just with different resources??
for example: I've seen ads for Empire and Puzzles (match 3 gatcha game), AND Crush Them All! (an idle clicker game) which use the exact same ad. they BOTH show a character, and several bits of equipment. a cursor drags each equipment piece onto the character in turn, then clicks a button, transforming them into a new form, then a phone
I've seen similar, though in a different format, for Homescapes/Gardenscapes, Matchington Mansion, and now Lucy's Garden I think it's called? All match 3 games where you have an isometric perspective...
...except the ads all show NOTHING related to the gameplay, just kinda crude drawings of the characters as if animated in flash where the "player" makes a choice of various options to pass obstacles and ends up "failing" due to a bafflingly daft choice.
Then there's Klondike and various clones where it always does the same thing, though seems to be about "how can I get away with massive insurance fraud by pouring what is obviously crude oil onto this blazing barn which SOMEHOW explodes like it's C4 and takes out the sawmill next to it oh well time to ignore that and feed the nearby cow some hay."
THEN there's War and Order and other strategy games(?) that ALL use the exact same trailer. I mean the exact same. You see a kinda averagely modelled bald 3d dude mine some rocks or chop some trees (or both) then he goes to a fence, sets, rotates and hammers one section of fence, then rotates an already in place section and hammers it, then places a gate, goes through, sets spiked barricades, then shoots some mobs with some other guys, dropping rotating resources.
@Nine Could be an ad mill who're working heavily from templates? From what I understand the mobile market is largely populated with outright clones and even outside of that everyone copies the motions and ideas from what happens to be successful, down to that image showcasing like 40 icons of angry screamy dude faces because presumably one of them had success with it.
(I don't play mobile games and I'm sure that I'm stereotyping a bit here.)
@BatElite It really does seem to be that case! I'm almost half tempted to search up such things just in case, or to see if it's literally an ai generated thing.
slides onto the right side of the screen, and gameplay is displayed on it involving said character in this new form, with the same cursor clicking things on said phone.
then it fades out and you get a scrolling background wiht the logo of the game showing up on it.
