C21: Steel Battle Chronicles

VS

ArcheAge

C21: Steel Battle Chronicles is an online action RPG from CyberStep released in 2006. Given its age (over 15 years), niche publisher, and the lack of widespread recognition outside of Japan, it is likely to have a very small but dedicated player base. Its live services seem primarily targeted at a Japanese audience. Unless supported by recent re-releases or major updates, games of this profile generally retain a few hundred to a few thousand daily players.

ArcheAge is a well-known sandbox MMORPG launched in 2013. While it initially drew strong interest due to its open world and sandbox systems, its player base has shrunk over the years, in part due to controversial monetization decisions and competition. Recent trends and community figures suggest the game retains a loyal but relatively small population, with most activity centered in a few regions. It is clearly an MMO based on its persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interaction.
