Hero of Aethric: An Orna RPG

VS

Heat and Run

Hero of Aethric: An Orna RPG is developed by Northern Forge Studios, the makers of Orna, which is a niche mobile location-based RPG. This game is an indie title with a small developer and targets a limited, but loyal, community, primarily on iOS and Android. Orna has never reached massive scale, and spin-offs or related projects like Hero of Aethric generally have a few thousand daily active players. There is no evidence or industry reporting suggesting large-scale growth beyond a niche RPG audience.

Heat and Run is an indie MOBA/platform shooter hybrid released in late 2022. As an indie title without major publisher backing, it likely never reached high player counts and has probably declined since launch. MOBAs from small developers often struggle to find large, sustained audiences. Based on its age, indie status, lack of major promotional impact, and typical genre trends, a small but dedicated community is likely, with daily players estimated in the low hundreds.
