In this paper we evaluated the graphic representation strategies that were used in the construction of ethnic identities in the conceptualization of peruvian video games, in which we offered the hypothesis about how this ethnic representation successfully accomplishes at developing interest and influencing over peruvian gamers. To achieve this conclusion, six local video games with a peruvian concept that were produced between 2009 and 2019 were evaluated. Likewise, sixty peruvian gamers tested and were shown the trailers of the previously chosen games so they could evaluate their self-identity perception in the graphic and answer if they consider such peruvian representation as important or influential over their purchase intention. The results of this analysis suggest a tendency towards andean worldview and culture, with exceptional cases where games were in the peruvian rainforest or the city of Lima. The user tests found that most users considered playability, as much more important than peruvian representation and, 50% of the users considered that this representation influenced their interest in the releases. Therefore, we can conclude that there’s a non-discriminative stereotype that matches the international perception that the world has of the exclusively andean peruvian. The general user opinions showed an indication that, even if peruvian representation is important to a degree, it isn’t essential and doesn’t compete against the importance of the playability and story of a videogame release.
