Astonia: The Return of Yendor

VS

DayZ

Astonia: The Return of Yendor is a niche indie RPG and strategy game, released in 2020 and based on the classic Astonia series. While it carries some nostalgic value, it has a very small, dedicated community and sees low visibility or promotion. Most indie revivals of old-school online RPGs typically support tens of daily players, not hundreds or thousands, as trends suggest for titles of this scope and age without major updates.

DayZ is a well-known open-world survival game by Bohemia Interactive, released in late 2018. It remains popular within the survival genre and typically holds a strong concurrent player base, especially on PC with additional activity on consoles. Its age means it's past its peak, but it maintains a loyal community and steady content updates, resulting in an estimated 45,000 daily active players across platforms.
