Estimates, not counts — nobody publishes real player numbers for mobile games, so these are modelled from public signals. How we work them out

Oct 15, 2021AndroidiOSESRB 18

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Tales of the Black Death, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Steam, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Range 3120

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Storyline

Part 1 : Tales of the Black Death – Italy Hunted by the death of his parents from an unknown illness, Baldasar becomes an outcast and finds solace in the companionship of a traveling thief. Together, they try to survive the unforgiving land populated with disease, bandits and death. Part 2 : Tales of the Black Death – France As the Black Death rages in Italy, Baldasar flees to France where a voice from the past warns him of the apocalyptic state of the known world. In his journey he will become the protector of a young French girl in search of her missing mother as they try to survive the unforgiving land and cross paths with desperate townsfolk, man-at-arms and death. Part 3 : Tales of the Black Death - England Having befriended two army deserters, Baldasar joins them in their journey until fate decides otherwise. Through cruel and unknown land, he reaches London at the height of the pandemic where he discovers a town ravaged by death and despair. Will he choose a path paved with goodness or turn his blade into a weapon of vengeance? A game of survival. While it’s important to eat from now and then, the game primarily tracks your health which is represented by infections, sickness and injury inflicting your characters. In the Middle Ages, it was common to die as a result of neglected an illness for too long. This is also the case in Tales of the Black Death. A game of morality. In addition to managing your health, injuries, malaise and infections, the game establishes its own morality landscape where the player has to make difficult choices. Many of the choices you make will impact the story or the characters around you. Lie, cheat, betray others or follow the path of righteousness...it’s all up to you. Beware how you play: Indulging in iniquities will diminish your morality and could lead to the loss of your soul.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Tales of the Black Death is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Tales of the Black Death player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
