Dogfight Elite

Last Epoch

Dogfight Elite is a small-scale indie flight combat simulator released in 2016. While it has multiplayer features and appeals to a niche audience interested in aerial dogfight simulations, its age, lack of major publisher support, and limited mainstream visibility suggest a modest and possibly declining daily player base. Its active community is likely under 500 daily players as of 2024.

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.
