Embrace the Three Kingdoms / 胸怀三国 RPG

Orna

Embrace the Three Kingdoms / 胸怀三国 RPG, released in 2019, is a niche strategy RPG published by VALOFE, known for running several service-oriented online games that typically retain small but stable player bases several years after launch. As a non-AAA title without major Western presence and with a theme appealing mainly to strategy fans in Asia, its daily active player count is likely modest, estimated at around 2,000. It does not meet traditional MMO criteria, as it is strategy RPG rather than a persistent-world massively multiplayer title.

Orna is a location-based turn-based RPG for mobile, released in late 2017 and developed by indie studio Northern Forge Studios. Its persistent world and regular updates have helped it keep a dedicated niche following. As a GPS-location game with social and asynchronous multiplayer features, it's popular but does not approach the mainstream DAPs of top mobile RPGs. Around 10,000-20,000 daily players is a fair estimate for a successful, niche location-based RPG of this age.
