So I shared an article last week that got a lot of engagement. In it I talked about the most overused Mobile Game Titles. I preceded to list the most frequently reoccurring words that I found among the games on my old Prelaunch.me platform, and then had a great ol' time mixing them together at random to create new mobile game titles.

For example:

War Adventure RPG

Dragon Knight Conquest

Fantasy Blade Legends

Heroes of Titan Force

Super Mini Cosmic Zombie Battle Arena Clash

Ladies & Gents, Behold the Mighty Fivefecta: "Dragon Kingdom War Puzzle RPG!"

However, I had written that article in 2015. Since then I've launched way more games than that. So I broke open a Google Sheet that contained the names of exactly 1,021 mobile games released between July 2015 and March 2017. I then alphabetize the sheet, and made a list of the reoccurring words, which I then ran a surprisingly fun "Ctrl +F." The results are below!

had but 10 less occurrence than The following phrase "___ of ___" occurred 152 times!

occurred 1,118 total recurring words out of 1,021 games for a 99.8% ratio! (If not for a great portion of the games featuring several recurring words, this would be an amazing stat...its still pretty impressive)

My list has since led to the creation of a Random Name Generator, I encourage you all to give it a go, or simply throw a couple of random words together and share your results in the comments! Most of you will probably accidentally create a game title that has already gotten a million downloads! XD
