ShellShock Live VS Path of Exile

ShellShock Live is a turn-based action/strategy game with multiplayer modes, released in 2019. Developed by indie studio kChamp Games, it has niche but loyal online communities. As a smaller indie title that's now several years old, active player counts have declined, but the game still supports daily matches for dedicated players across platforms. Its presence on Steam and multiple consoles, as well as active communities, suggest a daily player base in the low thousands.

Path of Exile is a free-to-play hack-and-slash ARPG released in 2013, developed by Grinding Gear Games. The game maintains a strong, stable player base due to frequent major updates, seasonal leagues, and continued developer support. While its player base is past its peak, it still attracts tens of thousands daily, particularly during league launches. The persistent online world and active trading/economy place it above many ARPGs for longevity.
