The Castle Doctrine is an indie strategy/puzzle game released in 2014 by Jason Rohrer. It had a niche appeal and limited multiplayer features, with activity declining sharply over years. Due to game age, indie scope, and lack of recent major updates or promotion, the active player base is now extremely low—likely fewer than a dozen daily players.
Estimated Daily Players
~150 thousand
We estimate that AFK Journey has currently around 150k players daily.
AFK Journey launched in early 2024 from Farlight Games, building on the popularity of the AFK Arena franchise. It is a cross-platform, casual strategy/adventure RPG with significant mobile presence and active social media. Given its newness, high profile in the mobile gaming space, and ongoing updates/events, daily active players are likely robust, with around 150,000 being a reasonable estimate at mid-2024.
