Clash of Critters hits $45.6M in four months as Lilith Games expands beyond AFK Arena

Clash of Critters, a new IP from Lilith Games, has generated $45.6 million in gross player spending across Google Play and the App Store in four months. The game blends tower defence, idle progression and creature collection mechanics, featuring more than 100 collectible creatures called Tataris with different elements, stats and evolution paths.

The title launched on May 21st, 2026, primarily in Western markets. Revenue started at $8 million in month one, dipped slightly to $7.9 million in month two, then rebounded to $10.5 million in month three. Month four set a record at $19.1 million, accounting for 42% of total revenue to date.

A Japanese release on July 30th accelerated growth significantly. The country generated less than $1,000 on launch day but reached $100,000 in daily spending within a week. By September 10th, daily Japanese revenue peaked at $166,000. In under two months, Japan became the second-largest revenue source at 14% of lifetime earnings.

The US leads spending at 33% of lifetime revenue. China ranks third at 8% despite data collection starting only this month, contributing $3.6 million in month four alone. App Store revenue outpaced Google Play at approximately $27.1 million to $18.4 million overall.

According to AppMagic estimates, Clash of Critters climbed from 87th to 40th in top grossing charts between August and September. The game's premium currency, Ignis Gems, sells in bundles ranging from £1.99 to £999.99, with discounts and bonus gems available through the web shop. These figures exclude revenue from the web shop and ad earnings.
