Kritika: Reboot

AQ First Contact is a strategy game released in 2019 by indie developer Seven Point Red. As a multi-platform title with modest social presence and no major publisher, it likely peaked early and now maintains a small core audience. It does not have the hallmarks of an MMO (no evidence of persistent world or large-scale multiplayer).

Kritika: Reboot is the relaunch of the original Kritika Online action MMORPG. The game's release in 2017 and subsequent relaunch gave it an initial boost, but active player numbers have declined significantly due to limited marketing, smaller publisher presence, and niche appeal. It retains a small but dedicated following, most likely centered in Korea and some Western regions, with current daily active player estimates likely around 2,000.
