Million on Mars: Space to Venture

VS

Enlisted: Reinforced

Million on Mars: Space to Venture is a niche sandbox/strategy game with an open-world, simulation, and sci-fi focus, launched in 2021 by a small publisher/developer team. As a relatively new indie title with an active website and social presence but limited mainstream coverage, it likely has a small but dedicated community. Niche sandbox/strategy games without major publisher support tend to average in the low thousands for daily active players after a few years.

Enlisted: Reinforced is a relaunch/major update to 'Enlisted,' a squad-based WW2 shooter by Darkflow Software, historically published by Gaijin Entertainment. The core game has maintained a modest but dedicated playerbase, buoyed by frequent updates and free-to-play access. The 'Reinforced' update/launch (mid-2024) likely gives a boost, especially in its initial weeks, but third-party stats and genre trends suggest daily active players around 40,000–50,000, down from its peak surges. Not a traditional MMO (lobby-based large matches rather than persistent world).
