AFK Journey VS War Thunder

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.

War Thunder is a long-running vehicular combat MMO developed by Gaijin Entertainment, released in 2013. While player counts have declined since its peak, its cross-platform availability, regular content updates, and niche appeal in military vehicle simulation have helped it retain a loyal player base. It remains popular among strategy/shooter fans.
