Ludo King is a free-to-play mobile game application developed by Gametion Technologies Pvt Ltd, a game studio based in Navi Mumbai, India.[1][2][3] Gametion is owned by Vikash Jaiswal.[1][2][3][4] The game is developed on the Unity game engine[5] and is available on Android, iOS, Kindle, Windows Phone and Microsoft Windows platforms. The game is a modernization of the board game Ludo, which is based on the ancient Indian game of Pachisi.[6]

Ludo King was released on February 20, 2016, on the Apple App Store, and since then it has consistently ranked No. 1 in the Top Free Games Section of both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.[3][4][7][8][9] It is the first Indian gaming app to cross 1 billion downloads.[10][11][12][13] In 2021, Ludo King was being played in 30 countries and was available in 15 languages.[14]

Gameplay

[edit]

The objective of the game is to move 4 tokens from the starting point around the board to the center of the board, also known as home. The first person to do this wins the game.

Ludo King has four modes: vs Computer, Local Mode (i.e. pass and play), Online Multiplayer (play with other players around the world) and Private Multiplayer (play with friends in private rooms).[15][16][17] In the vs Computer mode, the player can play offline against the computer AI; in Local Mode, multiple players can play together offline; in Online Multiplayer, users can play with other players online but have no choice over who their players are; and in Private Multiplayer, a user can play with multiple players online and can choose the other players. Here, the players can choose to play with their Facebook friends on the online mode, and can play with up to 6 players in the local multiplayer mode.[18][19][20]

Development of Ludo King

[edit]

Before Ludo King, Gametion primarily focused on developing browser games for desktop users. In 2013, the company shifted focus to mobile gaming. It published several games, including Snakes and Ladders and Baby’s Big Adventure, but these were all average. The company rose to prominence with the release of Ludo King.[1][4][3]

In September 2019, Ludo King rolled out an update which included a series of new themes such as Nature, Egyptian, Disco, Cake, Candy, and Pinball, etc.[21][22]

Ludo King added 7 Up Down, a sub-game within the game, in addition to the Snakes & Ladders in-game.[16][17]

In August 2020, Ludo King added the Voice Chat feature and a feature to send E-Greetings.[23][24]

Ludo King is available in 15 languages – English, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Bahasa Indonesia, German, Spanish, Hindi, Gujarati, Telugu, Kannada, French, Arabic, Marathi and Italian.[12]

Ludo King introduced a new mode called Rush Ludo, which is a faster version of the game.[25]

In January 2021, Ludo King launched a 6 player online multiplayer mode and Quick Mode.[26][27][28][29][30][31][24][32][33][34] Ludo King also has released a five and six-player online feature.[33][34]

Ludo King used the third-party mLab platform for hosting. However, after mLab was acquired by MongoDB Inc, the game moved to MongoDB Atlas, the global cloud database service.[35][36]

Ludo King also utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Flentas Technologies, an AWS Partner Network Partner, to "build an internal multiplayer backend system to manage its increasing user traffic more efficiently and in a cost-effective manner."[37]

Google Launched Google Play Points Program in India and Ludo King is one of the partnering game apps for the program.[38]

Casual and hyper-casual games, like Ludo King, are "light on the gamer's system and have simple mechanics. They can be learnt through a short tutorial, or none, even by beginners. Also, quick progress gives a rapid sense of achievement, encouraging the gamer to jump from level to level."[15]
