Hero of Aethric: An Orna RPG VS ShellShock Live

Hero of Aethric: An Orna RPG is a mobile RPG from Northern Forge Studios, known for their niche but dedicated community. The game appears to be a spinoff or companion to Orna: The GPS RPG, which has small but consistent user engagement. Livestreams, Reddit activity, and social media suggest a modest but active player base of a few thousand daily, likely in the 2,000–5,000 DAP range. As an indie mobile RPG with party features but not massive, ongoing large-world multiplayer, retention is reasonable but the scale is not MMO-like.

ShellShock Live is a turn-based action/strategy game with multiplayer modes, released in 2019. Developed by indie studio kChamp Games, it has niche but loyal online communities. As a smaller indie title that's now several years old, active player counts have declined, but the game still supports daily matches for dedicated players across platforms. Its presence on Steam and multiple consoles, as well as active communities, suggest a daily player base in the low thousands.
