You can confirm that by reading about it on the blog post we wrote last month. ( http://www.nutaku.net/blog/year-in-review/ )

The "most popular" chart appearing on the homepage is currently based on the metric of most new registered users trying the game out for the first time. The actual title should be titled "Most New Players" and will probably be updated in the near future.

Aigis is a great game with a strong community. We have a lot of ambitious plans for reversing the somewhat inconsistent level of JP developer attention, and when we implement that plan, you can expect a major announcement both here and on our social pages.

Thanks.

So despite that aigis is one of the last games a new player will try (10th), it has one of the biggest active players pools in nutaku? (3/4th)
No surprise there.

I myself tried out the games in this order OI -> DTM -> PERO ->GK -> AIGIS, somewhere along those lines.
I think the aigis cover icon was pretty ugly previously, so i didn't click on it till i tried out most games. (Sry sherry but your face isn't cover girl material)

With all the issues for nutaku Aigis, it's pretty obvious why it doesn't attract a ton of new players. If I was recommending Aigis to a friend, there's no way I'd point them to our version. It's also not the flashiest game out there, so unless you know before hand that it's actually the gameplay that sustain the game, you'd probably try one of the others first.

Dragon Providence on the other hand, has a couple of things going for it: 1) It's at the top of the game list (people usually start there), 2) it has a mobile version (a much wider market). Despite that, I'm willing to bet that DP probably has the worst player retention of all the games on Nutaku. Most players quit within days, if not weeks. Guilds are constantly having to rebuild/merge due to their players consistently bleeding away (not to mention the countless dead guilds). It is probably the biggest whale trap I've ever seen, with every event and (decent) new units/card asking players to shell out hundreds of $.

The other rankings seems fairly reasonable, with newer games tending to get more new players trying them out. The only somewhat surprising bit is that Hitsuji got the kind of population to be 5th overall despite all its launch issues, but that might say more about the other games than itself.

Oswari and Peropero having linked events/rewards certainly helps the popularity of both games.

Aigis is still my favourite in spite of starting with both of those fairly recently. I imagine they will likely get boring fast like Hellfire Girls (The first game that attracted me to Nutaku) did.

Those labels are not final.

right.
iirc my order was Everlasting Summer -> PPS/AS (due to ad)-> Aigis/LoV -> OI (and so on in the order they were released)
Frankly speaking if not for the lack of events, I reckon Aigis should have the highest player retention for all nutaku games atm.

Now I'm curious what those "ambitious plans" are. Do you guys think it'd be okay to speculate on what they could be while we wait for an official announcement?

aigis climbed to first and pero pero fell to 5th in 2 days?

I mean they still have the combined events with OI right?
Man this looks so rigged!

Depends on how they actually update the list. While that jump might seem a little odd if they adjust it in real time, if it is instead updated periodically it makes more sense. If they only update the rankings every week or so, then that shift might line up to the Aigis activity from the Dragon Slayer event.

- - - Updated - - -

And also, currently there is no event going on in PPS. Even the collaboration thing at the moment is to play OI to get some bonus in PPS, and not about playing PPS itself.

Nutaku announced that they're bringing Flower Knight Girl over to the west. I wonder how well this one will do on the rankings. Anyone played it? It seems like an interesting game from the YouTube videos. Battle mechanics remind me of Osawari Island.

Pls no 2nd OI, every time I play it for the shitty collaboration I get an urge to hurl. I developed an allergy of the combat mechanics and the gacha...
