Last Epoch

Battleship Apollo is an indie strategy and board game-inspired title released in 2021 by Parallel Space Inc. While it may have had an initial burst of interest, as an indie strategy game from a lesser-known studio with moderate social presence and no major ongoing publicity, its current daily active players are likely quite modest—likely in the hundreds. The 'board game' and 'strategy' tags also suggest a more niche appeal rather than mass audience retention.

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.
