What Catalyst Black Gets Right (and Wrong!)
The analysis evaluates the performance and design choices of Super Evil Megacorp’s mobile title, Catalyst Black, following its worldwide launch in May 2022.
- Catalyst Black suffers from poor mid-to-long-term retention, evidenced by a D7 retention rate of only 7% compared to a industry benchmark of 40-50%.
- The game's 'character-agnostic' power design, which allows players to equip seven pieces of gear, prevents players from quickly assessing opponent threats and undermines competitive clarity.
- Super Evil Megacorp’s decision to allow unlimited, targeted power progression through gameplay creates a lack of economic friction that negatively impacts both retention and long-term monetization.
