Combat Magic: Spells and Swords

AFK Journey, developed by Farlight Games, is a recently released cross-platform fantasy idle RPG with gacha and adventure elements. The game has generated significant hype post-launch, especially among mobile and casual strategy communities, and leverages the popularity of its predecessor, AFK Arena. Recent mobile downloads and community activity suggest strong daily engagement, likely in the hundreds of thousands. Given its cross-platform support and gacha monetization, retention is high at launch. However, it does not qualify as an MMO despite some open-world and multiplayer features, as it lacks a persistent large-scale shared world.

Combat Magic: Spells and Swords is a third-person multiplayer action game developed by Kisunja, known primarily as a mobile title. The game merges fantasy hack-and-slash with some MOBA and shooter elements, and enjoys moderate popularity on mobile platforms. It does not have the persistent world or massive concurrent player interaction of an MMO, but likely sustains a few tens of thousands of daily players due to its free-to-play model and mobile accessibility. Developer and indie scale suggest a modest but active community.
