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.

Estimated Daily Players

~4 thousand

We estimate that Ikariam has currently around 4k players daily.

Ikariam is a web-based strategy game launched by Gameforge in 2008. Although it was popular in its early years, browser-based strategy games have significantly declined in daily active players over the past decade. Gameforge's continued support sustains a small but dedicated community, often under 10,000 DAP for such long-running browser titles.
