Orna

MechWarrior Online, released in 2013, is a tactical mech combat game by Piranha Games. It had strong IP recognition at launch but the player base has declined over the years due to niche appeal and sparse major updates. As a persistent online PvP title, it maintains a small but dedicated fan base. Estimated current daily players are roughly 1,000–2,000 based on industry knowledge and its age.

Orna is a location-based turn-based RPG for mobile, released in late 2017 and developed by indie studio Northern Forge Studios. Its persistent world and regular updates have helped it keep a dedicated niche following. As a GPS-location game with social and asynchronous multiplayer features, it's popular but does not approach the mainstream DAPs of top mobile RPGs. Around 10,000-20,000 daily players is a fair estimate for a successful, niche location-based RPG of this age.
