Gunship Battle: Crypto Conflict

VS

Grand Chase

Gunship Battle: Crypto Conflict is a war-themed strategy and simulation game by Joycity Corporation, released in 2022. While it had some initial attention due to combining traditional war strategy gameplay with cryptocurrency/NFT elements, recent trends in crypto games have shown steep declines in daily players post-launch. The publisher does not have the retention power of major MMO companies, and the market for crypto games is volatile. Based on the age of the game, the genre, and current industry trends, an estimate of around 5,000 daily active players is reasonable.

Grand Chase is a well-known side-scrolling action MMORPG originally developed by KOG Studios. Although the classic PC version was shut down in most regions years ago, the mobile relaunch (Grand Chase: Dimensional Chaser) and a Steam version have seen some limited success since 2017. Due to its age, niche appeal, and relatively modest marketing outside its core market (primarily Southeast Asia and Latin America), I estimate its daily active player base to be low thousands. The game does have persistent multiplayer elements and instanced co-op/competitive modes, qualifying as an MMO.
