Approach: Firstly we sat down and discussed with my teammate, what game we recently encountered that was fun and original. After which we wanted to find out what are the popular games in the app store. With high playability, average returns per player etc. After which we looked into what was missing on the market and how we can make something original.

Results: We concluded that easy to play strategy games such as Clash of Clans and Beat em up games like Brawl Stars all have a high return rate and player engageability. Then we were highly impressed with games such as Team Fight Tactics and Orlog(assassin's creed valhalla) , which incorporated multiple aspects in strategy games that we adored. All tower defense games were very popular in the community. (Kingdom Rush).  Which led us to create a grand mashup of all of these great games into 1 with a special twist of adding Champions that are the main focus of our game while simultaneously keeping all the main parts of the previously mentioned games

​

Reason: We wanted to stay original and create something no one has played before, which is why we incorporated multiple genres and mechanics into our game.
