ELSWORD JAPAN

VS

Township

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.

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.
