What Playkot does

Playkot is a privately held, founder-operated mobile and cross-platform game development studio headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, with a portfolio of five live free-to-play titles. Its core products are SuperCity (a social city-building game with 32 million lifetime players, launched in 2011 and winner of Facebook's "Best New Game of 2014"), Age of Magic (a mobile RPG with 50 heroes across 12 factions, launched in 2020), Spring Valley (a farm adventure game conceived in 2019), Tropic Storm (a military RTS with 2.15 million players), and Titans (a robot combat action game with 2.28 million players). The studio serves consumer gaming audiences worldwide, with no enterprise customers, and is led by co-founders Alexander Pavlov (CEO) and Oleg Sysoev (CTO).

The company's technology stack is built on native mobile development for iOS and Android, with historically Flash-based web games and game-server hosting on Amazon Web Services. It has built proprietary internal tooling, including a map editor used to hand-construct 400 islands for Tropic Storm and a character design pipeline with detailed backstory development for Age of Magic. Payments are processed through Apple Pay, Google Play In-App Payments, and Xsolla (for web portals); player behavior is tracked via AppsFlyer, Google Analytics, App Annie, and Google Play Console; and customer support is delivered through Helpshift and Zendesk. Distribution spans Apple App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store, Amazon Appstore, HUAWEI AppGallery, Facebook, and proprietary web portals (supercitygame.com, solitairesocial.com, ageofmagic.game).

Playkot generates revenue exclusively through in-app purchases of virtual goods and upgrades, plus in-app advertising, with all games offered free to download. The company has operated without external capital beyond a single undisclosed 2010 round from Embria, and no revenue, headcount growth, or ownership-structure data is publicly disclosed in the available source material.
