Ball 3D: Soccer Online

VS

Last Epoch

Ball 3D: Soccer Online is a small indie sports game focused on online soccer, released in 2017. Like many indie sports/physics games, its player base is niche and likely quite modest after several years. The absence of a large publisher and minimal social presence further suggest a relatively small, loyal community remains active.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
