Township

Champions Ascension is an indie mix of hack-and-slash, MOBA, and open-world elements released in 2022 by Rough House Games. While it has unique mechanics and active development, it's a niche project with a smaller publisher, limited mainstream visibility, and lacks major streamer presence. Indie multiplayer games of this type generally have several hundred daily players at most unless they break out into wider popularity.

Township is a popular city-building and farming simulator developed by Playrix Entertainment, released in 2013. It has remained widely played, especially on mobile platforms, due to Playrix's strong support and engagement via social media. However, as it is over ten years old, its daily active player base has likely diminished from its peak, though it still maintains significant traction in casual mobile gaming. My estimate reflects its age, the large global reach of free-to-play mobile games, and the continued activity seen in its communities.
