Lies of Astaroth

VS

Last Epoch

Lies of Astaroth is a collectible card game with RPG and strategy elements released in 2016. The game had moderate popularity but is now quite old without a major ongoing publisher or live-service push. Player base has likely dwindled to a small but dedicated group, typical for niche CCGs of this age.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
