Anvil Empires VS Hay Day

Anvil Empires is a relatively new open-world, sandbox RTS developed by Siege Camp (known for Foxhole). Released in 2023, it maintains a niche but active player base due to its persistent world and social warfare elements. Though not a mainstream hit, its MMO-like gameplay and community events draw several thousand daily active users. Player numbers are consistent with similar indie MMOs a year after launch.

Hay Day is a mobile farming simulator by Supercell, released in 2012. Despite its age, Supercell's games historically maintain large, active user bases for years, especially in casual and farming genres. Industry analysis and mobile app metrics suggest Hay Day still enjoys strong daily player engagement, likely in the mid-hundred-thousands, due to international casual appeal, regular updates, and brand reputation.
