Shadow Kings

Enlisted: Reinforced

Shadow Kings is a mobile fantasy strategy game developed by Goodgame Studios and released in 2014. Although it once had an active player base, the game is nearly a decade old and shows no signs of ongoing major updates or community engagement. Most older mobile strategy titles experience significant decline after 5+ years unless heavily promoted, so a conservative estimate would be in the low hundreds for daily active players.

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).
