Astonia: The Return of Yendor

Realm of the Mad God

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.

Realm of the Mad God is a browser-based, free-to-play MMO bullet hell shooter first released in 2011. While its peak passed years ago, it still maintains a niche but active player base thanks to frequent updates from DECA Games and its unique gameplay loop. As an indie MMO, it is unlikely to have more than 10,000 daily active players but retains a dedicated community.
