My question is why do all mobile games have titles like Hero Kingdom Adventure Defense Wars or Mech Arena Star Legends Battle Survival? Very rarely do you see a game with a unique title named after its setting that isn't based on an existing IP.

Like if Mario Brothers came out as a mobile game in 2025 for the first time, it'd be called "Mushroom Legendary Kingdom Defense Survival."

Keyword hacking to include genre terms and also to siphon traffic from people searching for titles of other popular games. It's no different than the long wide-net titles of items on amazon.
