AFK Journey

KurtzPel is a third-person action PvP game released by KOG Studios in 2019. The game enjoyed some initial attention due to its anime art style and combat system, but has seen a significant decline in active players over the years, with very low daily concurrency observable on Steam. Given its current age, niche appeal, and lack of large-scale updates, estimated DAP is modest.

AFK Journey, developed by Farlight Games, is a recently released cross-platform fantasy idle RPG with gacha and adventure elements. The game has generated significant hype post-launch, especially among mobile and casual strategy communities, and leverages the popularity of its predecessor, AFK Arena. Recent mobile downloads and community activity suggest strong daily engagement, likely in the hundreds of thousands. Given its cross-platform support and gacha monetization, retention is high at launch. However, it does not qualify as an MMO despite some open-world and multiplayer features, as it lacks a persistent large-scale shared world.
