Have you ever seen an ad for a game that doesn’t match how the game actually plays? This is bad for both players and the game’s reputation.
Players believe that fake game ads, which don’t align with the actual gameplay, generate immense negative emotions. These ads often showcase a player making obvious mistakes in a simple game, triggering viewers’ psychological resistance and creating an urge to think, “I could do better.” The purpose of these ads is to engage users by tapping into their frustration. However, when players download the game only to find that the actual gameplay is completely different from what was advertised, they feel deceived and disappointed. While these fake ads can bring in high install numbers, many players will delete the game after realizing it doesn’t meet their expectations, leading to strong dissatisfaction with the advertisers.
Such ads not only deceive users but also place a psychological burden on them, as they’ve invested time and expectations into the content displayed in the ad, only to encounter something entirely different. From a business growth perspective, dopamine-triggering ad tactics may quickly hit user acquisition targets, but they must align with the actual gameplay; otherwise, they will ultimately lead to player dissatisfaction and damage the brand’s image.
The RPG Run! Goddess: No Trick Ads

Recently, Top Games, Inc. has launched its latest mobile game Run! Goddess in March 2025, which has been well-received by players. The ads match the actual gameplay, ensuring that players do not waste their time downloading, installing, or experiencing the game. Respecting the players' time and effort, the game also builds confidence with its core mechanics and innovative elements, making it highly appealing to fans of RPGs with anime-style character design.
Run! Goddess has exceeded expectations, performing exceptionally well within its first three months of launch and capturing the attention of many players. Influencers across social media have contributed to its viral marketing by sharing gameplay tips and character images. The game keeps players engaged and never lets them feel bored, thanks to the official team's proactive approach to player feedback. They promptly address issues like bugs, delays, and system performance, which has led to an increase in both downloads and player retention.
“The animations in this game are actually pretty cool. Also, the cut scenes are not bad, especially for a mobile game. I’ve never played a game quite like this before, and it is definitely a little bit unique,” said a YouTuber while sharing gameplay footage.
After carefully considering user experience, the latest game news, and market reactions, the Buildboxer platform compiled a list of the top 10 most popular free role-playing games for the first week of August 2025. Among these, Run! Goddess stands out as one of the most highly recommended and trending games.
Core Features of Run! Goddess
The game features dynamic obstacles like spike rollers, fire traps, and infected rushes that players must avoid by tapping or swiping. Players can recruit permanent battle maidens with recruitment tickets, and can obtain SR, SSR, and UR maidens to build their own battle team. The battle maidens will continue to eliminate incoming infected even outside of levels by consuming ammo boxes, earning equipment, and upgrading their base and advanced attributes. The game includes a challenging roguelike mode, where accumulated points can be exchanged for SP-breakthrough battle maiden shards. Players can also create or join alliances to unlock team dungeons and resource donation features. The game combines elements of parkour, shooting, idle gameplay, card pulls, character development, social interactions, real-time PvP battles, and resource collection, providing players with a unique and engaging experience.
I believe that great games must be tested over time. Having developed the classic strategy game Evony: The King’s Return, Top Games has accumulated rich experience in game development. By understanding how to create games that align with market expectations and are fun to play, players and time will tell us the answer.
