Block Story

Nova Empire is a persistent online space strategy game known for its mobile presence but also available on Windows. Released in 2022, it is a niche title in the 4X/strategy space and does not have the visibility or player retention of top strategy MMOs. Such games typically maintain a small but loyal player base a couple of years post launch unless heavily promoted. Rough industry trends point to a few thousand daily active players for a game of this scale and age.

Block Story is an indie sandbox RPG released in 2015, somewhat inspired by Minecraft but with RPG and adventure elements. Its initial popularity has significantly declined over the years due to its age, lack of major developer presence, and limited mainstream attention. As an older indie title with mainly single-player or small-scale multiplayer features, it now likely retains a very small, dedicated player base across platforms.
