Founded in 2022, Hanoi–based ONDI Games is a relatively young company. But its six founders are all veterans of the Vietnamese game industry, who have managed to win over millions of players around the world with their fantasy-themed action games.

What they’re known for
ONDI Games isn’t afraid to experiment with gameplay and design. Coordinate heroes and towers to stop incoming hordes in the colourful, cartoon-style Kingdom War. Hack’n’slash as a combo-chaining lone hero in the dark and dramatic Shadow Slayer and its follow-up Shadow Rival – the latter was made by a small team of just three people. Clear dungeons and build a vibrant town in the charmingly retro RPG Fortias Saga. And decide your hero’s powers on the fly in the anime-inspired roguelike Hero Blitz.


Behind the scenes
• Curious explorers are often rewarded in ONDI’s titles. In Shadow Slayer and Shadow Rival, players can find loot-filled treasure chests in hidden or hard-to-reach places. In Fortias Saga, willing wanderers who take the scenic route towards bosses will find goodies and unexpected encounters tucked out of the way.
• More than 4 million treasure chests have been opened so far in Fortias Saga, and the game’s most popular dungeon by far is Goblin’s Lair, with a monthly average of 175,000 completed battles!
• A surprise awaits in Hero Blitz – one of the bosses you take down will return later to fight alongside your hero.
