Transcripts
these copycat games are way more popular
than the originals and people are
playing them so much they've forgotten
they're just copies of old games that
once ruled the internet these new games
have hit the originals so hard that the
originals are almost now forgotten and
the six game flops so badly that you'll
literally be surprised so don't even
think about skipping make sure you like
this video to get at least 5K likes or
even 10K let's get started number 10
guys let me ask you something did you
have this game on your phone way back in
the day because at that time everyone
was playing Angry Birds in Temple Run
and now this game has over 100 million
downloads just by copying the concept of
another game called Crush the Castle by
comparing these two games you can catch
a lot of similarities in my opinion the
characters and Graphics have changed and
I don't know its name if you know that
please let me know in the comments down
below to me the weapons look like
they're from the Viking era that have
been changed to a slingshot and when you
see these blocks get hit their moving
motion looks the same and guys crush the
Castle came out on April 28th 2009 and
Angry Birds was released in the same
year on December 11th 2009 I mean it
takes me longer to decide what to watch
on Netflix these developers copied that
game quick did you play this one or not
let me know in the comments number nine
Pokemon so guys you probably already
know that Pokemon started as a game
company their game became so successful
that they also created an anime series
and now there are more than 125 Pokémon
games to date but one of the most
popular among them is Pokémon Legends
arus this game is a creature catching
RPG where you go in the wild catch
Pokemon train them and make them fight
recently you might have heard about po
World which many people are calling
Pokémon with guns in this game you
capture creatures referred to as Pals in
the wild train them and then use them in
battles not only is this concept similar
but the characters also bear a striking
resemblance just take a look at this
version of Pikachu and it's not just
Pikachu there are many other characters
that look quite similar overall po world
made over $442 million just after
release which shows how successful this
game has been number eight Candy Crush a
game that adults seem to enjoy more than
kids personally I've never played it
because to complete all the levels you
might need to be reincarnated at first
the game seems simple but it gradually
becomes increasingly challenging and
there comes a point where you feel
compelled to give up now if you're a
Candy Crush Lover Please take no offense
but I think deleting it might be the
best option despite this the game still
has over 1 billion downloads however
only a few people know the real story
behind the game the truth is Candy Crush
Drew its inspiration from a game called
beul which is almost identical honestly
Candy Crush is practically a copy of
Beed with the only difference being that
the gems were SWA for candies yeah
people still prefer playing Candy Crush
number seven this time we're going to
talk about two endless Runner games that
never seem to get old you might have
guessed it already yes it's Temple
running Subway Surfers we all played
these games when we didn't have an
internet connection on our phones and
needed to pass the time the format is
quite simple you collect coins and avoid
obstacles if you hit an obstacle you
lose this game is popular worldwide but
did you know it was inspired by another
game called Pepsi man Pepsi man was
released back in 1999 so you might not
even been born yet the format is quite
similar the character runs continuously
avoiding obstacles while collecting
Pepsi cans the more Pepsi cans you can
collect the more points you get just
like in Temple Run and Subway Surfers
today you can find many such games on
the Play store number six the time has
come for me to tell you about a game
that despite being very popular flopped
miserably I mean it totally crashed and
burned so the Story begins on August 4th
2020 when a game called fallu was
launched at epic game store this game
was only released for PC PlayStation and
switch consoles which was their biggest
mistake initially this game became quite
popular and many famous YouTubers were
making videos about it but it wasn't
long before fall guys started heading
towards disaster so just 1 month after
Fall Guys in September 2020 another game
was released called stumble guys which
has so many downloads that you'll
literally be shocked so stay tuned to
the video because Fall Guys and stumble
guys look almost identical but stumble
guys is a 100 times better the first
reason is that we can only play Fall
Guys on PC or consoles and obviously not
everyone has a PC or console but most
most of you watching this video are
probably on mobile considering this the
team at stumble guys came up with a
brilliant idea they launched their game
on mobile first in the initial year the
game had average downloads but in 2022
it gained so much popularity that it
became the most downloaded game on the
Play store today this game has over 100
million downloads stumble gu
consistently focused on their gameplay
and new updates ensuring Their audience
never got bored and always had something
new to play that's why today this game
is so successful that it's collaborating
with big Brands like Mr Beast and Barbie
number five Among Us so this game blew
up out of nowhere and became insanely
popular almost overnight launched in
2018 it didn't gain much attention until
2020 when it suddenly took over the
gaming World everyone from your friends
to top streamers was playing it and
social media was flooded with Among Us
memes and clips what's Wild though is
how quickly other game developers jumped
on that bandwagon creating their own
versions Among Us inp game started
popping up everywhere one notable clone
is super sus which keeps the same tasks
and impostor mechanics but has a
different vibe and get this super sus
has already hit 50 million downloads on
the Play Store another interesting one
is suspect's Mystery Mansion which is
also closing the gap on Among Us number
four getting over it so guys I don't
know how many computers this game is
Driven Crazy not because of its Graphics
but because of its rage inducing
gameplay seriously it's one of of the
most frustrating games out there and
that's why many people actually think
it's an entirely original game that was
conceived by its creator actually
getting over it is inspired by or you
could say almost a direct copy of
another game the game it borrowed from
wasn't very popular it's called sexy
hiking yes as strange as the name is
this 2003 game was equally odd it also
involved a person trying to climb using
a hammer constantly falling in the
process despite having a good concept it
was extremely glitchy and controlling
the character was even harder this game
wasn't as tough as getting over it but
even so its bugs and glitches prevented
it from Gaining popularity number three
fortnite this is one of the most
successful Battle Royale games in the
genre raking in billions of dollars
every year but did you know that
fortnite owes a lot of its success to
another game that came first called pubg
it was the original Battle Royale game
that took the World by storm in 2017 it
then introduced the concept of dropping
a 100 players onto an island to fight it
out until only one remained then came
fortnite initially fortnite was focused
on a Cooperative building game mode but
seeing pubg's success they quickly
shifted gears and launched their own
Battle Royale mode in late 2017 while
the core gameplay of Landing onto an
island Scavenging for weapons and
battling it out to be the last one
standing was directly copied from pubg
fortnite added its own twist with
vibrant Graphics building mechanics and
adding unique characters and favorite
Heroes which hooked audience members so
well especially the younger players
today it's one of the most popular games
worldwide but let's be real it wouldn't
be where it is without taking a page
from pubg's Playbook so were you team
pubg or team fortnite let me know in the
comments number two Roblox a game that's
not just a game but a whole universe of
games Roblox launched in 2006 generates
billions every year it borrows heavily
from earlier sandbox games like
Minecraft and Garry's Mod offering users
the tools to create their own worlds but
Roblox took it even further combining
creative freedom with a social platform
where players can interact and share
their Creations this unique plan made
Roblox a massive hit again especially
among younger players so did you build
your dream world in Roblox or stick to
Classics like Minecraft let me know in
the comments number one Minecraft if I
had a dollar for every Minecraft copy
out there I'd be richer than Elon Musk
seriously though Minecraft has so many
clones that if I tried to count them all
need a whole other video series so
instead of breaking down each one let me
tell you about some standout games that
have copied Minecraft really well and
have become super popular first up is
Pixel Gun 3D at first glance this game
looks just like Minecraft but it's even
more advanced you can shoot and try
different modes in it currently this
game has over a 100 million downloads
and speaking of other Minecraft clones
there's a whole list on the Play Store
like BlockCraft blockman go and Loki
