The Korean-style Collection RPG is a unique sub-genre of RPG developed in a new environment of the smartphone era. Based on CCG in Japan, the Korean collection RPG was able to have its own color by adding action style based on the experience of MMORPG development. Since the genre, many games have been released and have had amazing success. This success is not only limited to domestic but also extends overseas. In this study, I try to find out the reasons for the emergence and success of the Korean collection RPG, and analyze "Seven Knights", which has been a great success in Korea, and "Summoners War", which has achieved great success in the world. Through this, I will contribute to the competitiveness of Korean smartphone game industry.
