State of Survival

The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden is a mobile and PC RPG based on a popular anime/manga IP, published by Crunchyroll Games. Released in late 2022, it retains an active, but moderate, niche audience typical for gacha/hero collector titles of its age. Social media engagement appears solid, but not at blockbuster scale. This genre usually sees a steep decline after a hype launch phase, stabilizing around the 1–2 year mark with dedicated fans.

State of Survival is a popular mobile strategy-survival RPG that launched in 2019 and has seen sustained marketing and content updates. These factors, along with a strong presence in app store charts and ongoing partnerships, indicate a healthy daily active player population. However, as a typical mobile strategy title, its DAU is in the low hundreds of thousands several years after launch, given natural attrition and aging in the mobile games market.
