I think the problem is ultimately discoverability. You make it big and then rake in money with microtransactions or your game fades away and you try again with the next one. It doesn't seem like there's much room for an "average" game that does average.

Where's the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 of mobile gaming?

Slay the Spire, LoL: Wild Rift and Civilization 6 come to mind as the best games I've seen on mobile with endless replayability.

Slay the Spire is just an absolutely fantastic game—but I wouldn't call it a "mobile" game. It's on every gaming platform, and very much an exception to the rule.

It just happens to translate extremely well to mobile due to the super simple interface.

I don't mean actual Homm3, I mean its equivalent types of games for mobile devices.
