The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Armored Aces is a mobile tank battle game released in 2013, primarily known for PvP tank battles similar to games like World of Tanks Blitz, but on a much smaller scale. Given its age (over 10 years old), indie origins, and niche player base, it is likely to have a small but persistent community, resulting in a low daily active player estimate. As this game does not feature a persistent world or large-scale interactions, it does not meet typical MMO criteria.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
