ELSWORD JAPAN

Block Story

ELSWORD is a long-running side-scrolling MMORPG originally launched globally in the early 2010s, with its Japanese service shown here. While once popular, the game's player base has significantly declined due to its age (over 10 years since original release) and competition from newer games. The Japanese version, running since 2019, likely has a small but loyal community, estimated at around 2,000 daily players.

Block Story is an indie sandbox RPG released in 2015, somewhat inspired by Minecraft but with RPG and adventure elements. Its initial popularity has significantly declined over the years due to its age, lack of major developer presence, and limited mainstream attention. As an older indie title with mainly single-player or small-scale multiplayer features, it now likely retains a very small, dedicated player base across platforms.
