Key takeaways for Game of Sultans
Where is it heading?
The historical-simulation category is consolidating around titles with more active population management, leaving Game of Sultans exposed. Without immediate server consolidation, the app will continue to lose its most valuable long-term players to competitors with more active social ecosystems.
- Aggressive monetization complaints in the latest release drive sentiment to 35, which accelerates churn among non-spending legacy players.
- Lack of server merges leads to dead-server environments, which prevents competitive play and reduces the value of the union system.
The SWOT
- Social network effects driven by union-based collaborative combat
- High-frequency live-ops cadence maintains event-driven engagement
- Server merging initiatives to consolidate active populations
- Introduction of diverse character customization options to address player requests

Server merge functionality (available in State of Survival but missing here)
Since the last report: The app has transitioned to an aggressive subscription-based monetization model, which has triggered a decline in user sentiment and highlighted critical retention risks related to server stagnation.
Bottom line
Game of Sultans maintains a loyal core through social union mechanics, but the current pay-to-win monetization and server stagnation are actively eroding the legacy user base, so the PM must prioritize server consolidation to stabilize retention.
